Abstract: Example embodiments may relate to an apparatus, method and/or computer program for managing timing advance loops. The method may comprise receiving, at a user equipment from a plurality of network nodes, respective downlink reference signals, wherein an antenna system of the user equipment receives the downlink reference signals using a wide beam configuration. The method may also comprise performing measurements on the received downlink reference signals to determine a parameter and for determining that the parameter does not meet a predetermined criteria. Based on the parameter not meeting the predetermined criteria, the method may comprise configuring the antenna system such that at least one of the downlink reference signals is received using a narrow beam configuration. The method may involve re-performing the measurements on downlink reference signals from the plurality of network nodes. Based on the parameter meeting the predetermined criteria, it may be determined that transmission of candidate uplink signals, from the user equipment to the at least one of the plurality of network nodes, can be grouped into one timing advance loop.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a radio frequency front end (202) for a beamforming transceiver (201) having an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements. The radio frequency front end comprises, for each antenna element, at least two radio frequency beamforming branches (218, 219). Each of at least one of said at least two radio frequency beamforming branches comprises an electrically tunable phase shifting element (221, 231), first and second transmission/reception switches (223, 233), a low-noise amplifier (225, 235) for reception and a power amplifier (224, 234) for transmission. Moreover, each of at least one of said at least two radio frequency beamforming branches comprises an electrically switchable matching circuit (226, 236). The electrically switchable matching circuit comprises two or more matching circuit settings selectable via switching.

Abstract: An apparatus for use by a UE configured to conduct a communication in a communication network. The apparatus is configured to receive and process signals from the communication network via signal receiving portions, wherein one of the signal receiving portions is a serving cell signal receiving portion used for connecting to the communication network via a serving cell, and another of the signal receiving portions is a non-serving cell signal receiving portion being not used for connecting to the communication network. A signal receiving portion specific offset value is obtained for each of the signal receiving portions. Signal quality values for signals received by the signal receiving portions from the communication network are measured, wherein the cells include the serving cell. A measurement report is sent to the communication network on the basis of the results of the signal quality measurements and the offset values for the signal receiving portions.
