Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed in relation to antenna arrays. The method may include transmitting a reference signal to one or more remote user terminals from each of a plurality of sub-arrays of an antenna array, each sub-array including a quantity of radiating elements of the antenna array capable of establishing a backhaul link with a remote communications node. The method may also include receiving measurement signals from the one or more remote user terminals, indicative of one or more characteristics of the received reference signals. The method may also include selecting, based on received measurement signals, a first subset of the sub-arrays for backhaul communications with the remote communications node and a second subset of the sub-arrays, including one or more of the remaining sub-arrays, for access communications with the one or more remote user terminals.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described including: obtaining first channel measurement data for a primary component carrier used for communications between a device and a network node of a mobile communication system; providing the first channel measurement data as an input to an algorithm to obtain a first embedding output; comparing the first embedding output with embedding outputs of a plurality of reference channel measurement data input to said algorithm to identify a closest reference channel measurement data to the first channel measurement data; identifying a set of reference channel information associated with the identified closest reference channel measurement data, wherein the identified set of reference channel information includes a carrier aggregation policy defining one or more secondary communication channels; and setting a carrier aggregation policy for the primary component carrier in accordance with the carrier aggregation policy.
