Abstract:
A communications apparatus. The RF signal processing device is capable of supporting carrier aggregation and configured to process RF signals. The baseband signal processing device is configured to process baseband signals. The processor is configured to control operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device. The processor further receives a power control signal from a peer communications apparatus, obtains an assigned transmission power which is assigned by the peer communications apparatus for the communications apparatus to transmit a reference signal according to information carried in the power control signal, determines a spectral efficiency estimation value of the communications apparatus and directs the RF signal processing device to transmit the reference signal with a reduced transmission power which is smaller than the assigned transmission power when the spectral efficiency estimation value is smaller than a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
A communications device is provided. The transceiver module transmits and receives signals via one or more transmitting beams and one or more receiving beams. The communications state measurement module measures strength of the received signals to obtain a spatial profile including information regarding received signal strength for the one or more receiving beams with respect to one or more transmitting beams of another communications device communicating with the communications device. The sensor module senses a status of the communications device to obtain context information of the communications device according to the sensed status. The communications control module obtains the spatial profile from the communications state measurement module and the context information from the sensor module and determining an optimum action to control the transceiver module to search, track and/or adjust the one or more receiving beams according to the spatial profile and the context information.
Abstract:
Methods for providing positioning service for a wireless device within a wireless network are provided. First, at least one positioning signal is received by a first wireless device, wherein, each of the at least one position signal is received from at least one wireless device other than the first wireless device and each indicates the positions of the at least one wireless device other than the first wireless device. The position of the first wireless device is then determined according to the at least one positioning signal received from the at least one wireless device.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus. A first radio module communicates with a first wireless network and provides wireless communications services. A second radio module communicates with a second wireless network and provides wireless communications services. At least two antennas shared by the first radio module and the second radio module. When the first radio module operates in a connected mode and when the timing of the first radio module performing the first receiving activity coincides with the timing of the second radio module performing a second receiving activity, the first radio module reports a value of 1 for a Rank Indicator to the first wireless network at least once before the second radio module is to perform the second receiving activity, and then the second radio module uses one of the antennas to perform the second receiving activity.
Abstract:
Various solutions for handling synchronization signal block with respect to user equipment (UE) and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. A UE may receive a synchronization signal block (SS block) from a network apparatus. The UE may detect a transmission beam of the network apparatus according to the SS block. The SS block may comprise a first synchronization signal, a second synchronization signal and a reference signal for detecting the transmission beam. The first synchronization signal may be a primary synchronization signal (PSS), the second synchronization signal may be a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the reference signal may be a demodulation reference signal (DMRS). The SS block may further comprise a broadcast channel and wherein the DMRS is used for demodulation of the broadcast channel.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus. A first radio module communicates with a first wireless network and provides wireless communication services in compliance with a first RAT. A second radio module communicates with a second wireless network and provides wireless communication services in compliance with a second RAT. At least two antennas are shared by the first radio module and the second radio module. When the first radio module operates in an idle mode and when the timing of the first radio module performing a first receiving activity coincides with the timing of the second radio module performing a second receiving activity, the second radio module uses the antennas to perform the second receiving activity when a DRX cycle duration of the first radio module in the idle mode is shorter than a DRX cycle duration of the second radio module.
