    Abstract: A wireless device of the present disclosure may be able to reduce the time needed to determine a subarray and/or beamforming direction used for mmW communication. An apparatus may maintain first information associated with a correlation between each of a plurality of wireless device orientations and a plurality of nodes, at least one subarray, and a corresponding beamforming direction. The apparatus may communicate with a first node using a first beamforming direction selected from the first information. In certain aspects, the first beamforming direction may be correlated with a first orientation of a first subarray at the wireless device and the first node. The apparatus may perform a handoff procedure from the first node to a second node when a position of the first subarray changes from the first orientation to a second orientation.

    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems, devices, apparatuses, products, and methods for wireless communication. For example, a communication system may include a repeater having a first communication interface that receives a control message that indicates a measurement configuration for a second communication interface of the repeater that is different than the first communication interface. The repeater receives, via the second communication interface, a first signal at the repeater from a first device. The repeater also measures a power metric associated with the first signal based on the measurement configuration. In some implementations, a base station or another device (e.g., UE), may communicate with the repeater and take one or more actions based on the power metric measured by the repeater.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to mitigation of calibration errors are provided. A base station (BS) transmits, via an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements, a first communication signal using a first number of the plurality of antenna elements and a first transmission power level to a user equipment (UE). The BS receives from at least one UE, a measurement report based on the first communication signal. The BS transmitting a second communication signal using a second number of the plurality of antenna elements and a second transmission power level based on the one or more measurement reports. At least one of the first number of the plurality of antenna elements is different from the second number of the plurality of antenna elements, or the first transmission power level is different from the second transmission power level. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: The base station that is configured to transmit in a beamformed manner may set different transmission rates for different directions of the beams. During an initial access stage, the base station may set different transmission rates for different transmission directions, and may transmit initial access signals based on the transmission rates in the different transmission directions The apparatus may be a base station. The base station determines transmission rates for a plurality of transmission directions, where each transmission rate is determined for a respective transmission direction of the plurality of transmission directions. The base station transmits at least one initial access signal in each of one or more of the plurality of transmission directions based on a corresponding transmission rate of the transmission rates.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An FNC may be implemented to manage operations of a wireless fronthaul network. The FNC may monitor one or more network conditions and parameters of a network, which may include a fronthaul network and a radio access network. The fronthaul network may include at least one DU that supports wireless communications with a plurality of RUs via a plurality of fronthaul communication links, and the radio access network may include the plurality of RUs supporting communications for a plurality of wireless devices. The FNC may output, based on the one or more network conditions and the parameters, one or more fronthaul operation parameters for the at least one DU to support wireless communication for at least one RU of the plurality of RUs via one or more respective communication links of the plurality of communication links.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A phase rotation adjustment may be applied in cases where a transmitted signal is heterodyned. For instance, a device (e.g., a base station, a user equipment (UE), a wireless repeater) may determine that a receiving device may receive a transmitted signal at a carrier frequency that is different from a carrier frequency used by a transmitting device (e.g., such as in the case of a wireless repeater relaying the signal from the transmitting device to the receiving device). A phase rotation adjustment may be applied by the device (e.g., the base station, UE, or wireless repeater) to account for the heterodyning. The phase rotation adjustment may be based on the carrier frequency used by the receiving device to receive the signal. In some cases, a receiving device may also apply the phase rotation adjustment following the demodulation of a received signal.
