A transmission method for transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal in the same frequency at the same time. Each signal has been modulated according to a different modulation scheme. The transmission method applies precoding on both signals using a fixed precoding matrix, applies different power change to each signal, and regularly changes the phase of at least one of the signals, thereby improving received data signal quality for a reception device.

Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data with coefficient data specific to a processing mode selection. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data for a transmission in a radio frequency (RF) wireless domain with the coefficient data to generate output data that is representative of the transmission being processed according to a specific processing mode selection. The input data is mixed with coefficient data at layers of multiplication/accumulation processing units (MAC units). The processing mode selection may be associated with an aspect of a wireless protocol. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating adaptive precoder updating for channel state feedback are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communication at a UE includes selecting a second wideband component W.sub.1 of a second PMI, the second PMI including the second wideband component W.sub.1 and a second subband component W.sub.2, and the selecting of the second wideband component W.sub.1 being based at least on a determining of whether to reuse for the second wideband component W.sub.1 a first wideband component W.sub.1 of a first PMI previously determined based on received first CSI-RS, the first PMI including a first wideband component W.sub.1 and a first subband component W.sub.2. The example method also includes determining the second PMI based on a received second CSI-RS, the second wideband component W.sub.1, and the second subband component W.sub.2. The example method also includes reporting the determined second PMI to a base station.

The method comprises obtaining direction-wise measurements of interference experienced by the terminal device. The method comprises generating, based on the direction-wise measurements of interference, a beam having a beam gain that is lower in those directions where a first interference level is experienced than in those directions where a second interference level is experienced, where the first interference level is higher than the second interference level. The method comprises receiving, using the generated beam, downlink reference signals from a network node.

Embodiments of this application provide example information receiving methods and receiving apparatuses. One example information receiving method includes receiving, by a receiving apparatus, an index from a sending apparatus, wherein the index indicates precoding information used for a single codeword. The receiving apparatus can then determine, based on the index, the precoding information used for the single codeword.

The present disclosure relates to beam configuration methods and apparatus. One example method includes receiving, by a terminal device, a first beam from a network device, where an identifier of a reference signal sent on the first beam is a first identifier, and configuring, by the terminal device based on a spatial reception parameter, a receive beam corresponding to the first beam. The spatial reception parameter is configured after a second beam corresponding to the first identifier is measured or reported last time.

A device and method to determine incoming communications is provided. A device in communication an array of antenna devices determines respective quality metric weights for respective signal data representing respective signals received by the antenna devices. The device applies the respective quality metric weights to the respective signal data to determine total received signal data. The device determines, based on the total received signal data, that the array of the antenna devices has received an incoming communication.

Systems and technologies described herein provide functionality for a cellular base station to dynamically indicate a reception (Rx) beam to be used by a user equipment (UE). The Rx beam can be indicated explicitly or implicitly. The UE can, for example, use the Rx beam for Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) reception, Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) measurements, and/or Channel State Information (CSI) calculation at the UE. Systems and technologies described herein are generally useful for systems that use multiple transmission (Tx) beams and/or that support Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) transmission technology.

An access node comprises a processor and a transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive at least one uplink reference signal corresponding to at least one user node. The processor is configured to determine, based on the at least one uplink reference signal, an estimated position of the at least one user node relative to the access node and at least one directional parameter corresponding to the estimated position of the at least one user node relative to the position of the access node. The transceiver is configured to send at least one downlink control information to the at least one user node, the at least one downlink control information including the directional parameters.

The present application relates to a method for operating a cellular multiple input and multiple output system comprising a first device (20) having at least two antenna arrays (22, 23) and second device having at least two antennas (32, 33). According to the method, a same uplink pilot signal is broadcasted from each antenna (32, 33) of the second device (30) and the same uplink pilot signal is received at each antenna array (22, 23) of the first device (20). At the first device (20), first device transmission parameters are determined for each antenna array (22, 23) depending on the received same uplink pilot signal. Downlink pilot signals are sent via antenna array (22, 23) using the determined first device transmission parameters and the downlink pilot signals are received at each antenna (32, 33) of the second device (30). This second device determines second device receiving parameters for each antenna (32, 33) depending on the received downlink pilot signals.
