SIGNAL PHASE ROTATION
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for a wireless communication device to perform signal phase rotation. In some implementations, the wireless communication device may determine a number of phase rotation parameters to be applied to a number of tones of a transmission signal. In some aspects, each of the phase rotation parameters indicates a phase rotation to be applied to each of the tones according to a carrier index range for each of the tones and a bandwidth mode for the transmission signal. In some implementations, the wireless communication device may apply the phase rotation parameters to respective ones of the tones according to the specified phase rotations and the carrier index ranges, and transmit the transmission signal from the wireless communication device according to the applied phase rotation parameters.
GAIN NORMALIZATION FOR A JOINT TRANSMISSION
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for wireless communication, and particularly, methods, devices and systems for implementing a joint transmission feature in a wireless communication system. Using the joint transmission feature, multiple access points (APs) may use an aggregated collection of antennas of multiple APs to simultaneously transmit a joint beamformed transmission to one or more stations (STAs). The techniques in this disclosure may prevent or reduce variations in relative gain adjustments by the APs that could otherwise negatively impact the joint transmission. In some implementations, a network device may determine a normalized gain adjustment value based on power parameters associated with each of the multiple APs. In some other implementations, each AP may determine the normalized gain adjustment value based on power parameters shared between the APs.

CONTROL DEVICE, DELAY DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR STORING DELAY DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM
A control device causes a first transmission system in a MIMO transmission device to transmit a first transmitting-end clock transmission signal (first transmission signal), causes a second transmission system to transmit a second transmission signal, and causes the first transmission system to transmit a third transmission signal. The control device acquires a first phase value and a second phase value. The first phase value is a phase value of the second transmission signal received in the second reception system operating based on a receiving-end clock signal synchronous with a transmitting-end clock signal by the first transmission signal. The second phase value is a phase value of the third transmission signal received in the second reception system in synchronous operation. The control device calculates a first correction value for correcting a first delay amount set value of a delay adjustment processing unit based on the first and second phase values
