    摘要: Techniques are disclosed related to calibrating and operating a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radio system. In some embodiments, a dual mode calibration may be employed to calibrate a remote transmitter (RT). During a first, Sparse Full System Calibration (SFSC) mode, the RT may be physically connected to the MIMO radio system. In some embodiments, first and second equalizers may be derived for each of the RT and a local transmitter (LT), respectively. During a subsequent, Real-time Calibration (RTC) mode, the RT may be located remotely from the MIMO radio system, and the RT may be configured to communicate with the MIMO radio system over the air via an antenna. In the RTC mode, third equalizers may be derived for the LT. The RT may then be calibrated based on an equalizer that is derived from each of the first, second, and third equalizers. As one non-limiting example, the techniques described herein may enable real-time calibration for the RT even while the RT is located remotely from the MIMO radio system. In different embodiments, the calibration may be achieved by deriving either fractionally spaced frequency domain equalizers, or time domain equalizers.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to channel quality reporting for full-duplex (FD) wireless communications. In some embodiments an apparatus (e.g., a mobile device) is configured to receive a reference signal in a wireless communication and determine an effective signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for FD communications based on a measured SINR of the reference signal and one or more self-interference cancelation levels. The apparatus may determine the one or more self-interference cancelation levels based on the transmit power of signals transmitted by the apparatus and residual power after SIC. The SIC levels may include both analog and digital SIC levels, which may be separately determined. One or more modulation and coding schemes may be determined based on the effective SINR. In some embodiments, multiple effective SINRs are determined for multiple different transmission modulation orders used by the apparatus.

    摘要: A user equipment device (UE) determines a beam coherence interval metric, which is a measure of stability of a beam pair over time based on a set of beam coherence intervals measured by the UE. The beam pair comprises a receive beam of the UE and a transmit beam of a base station transmitting to the UE. A beam coherence interval comprises a time duration within which a quality of a signal received on the UE receive beam remains within one of a plurality of signal quality bins. The UE also determines a hysteresis value based on the beam coherence interval metric and uses the hysteresis value to decide to switch from an active receive beam to a different receive beam that has a signal quality higher than the active receive beam by at least the hysteresis value. Alternatively, the base station determines and sends the UE the hysteresis value.

    摘要: Various embodiments are presented of a system and method for testing (e.g., rapidly and cheaply) devices with antennas configured for radio frequency (RF) and/or millimeter wave (mmW) transmission and/or reception. A device to be tested (e.g., the device under test (DUT)) may be mounted to an interface in a measurement fixture (e.g., a socket, anechoic chamber, etc.). Power and data connections of the DUT may be tested over the interface, which may also provide connections for input/output signals, power, and control and may also provide positioning. RF characteristics (e.g., including transmission, reception, and/or beamforming) of the DUT may be tested over-the-air using an array of antennas or probes.

    摘要: A wireless communications apparatus includes first/second data source/sinks that respectively source/sink PDCP SDU and MAC PDU for transfer to/from a memory unit and hardware accelerators controlled by a control processor (CP). In response to sourcing transmit PDCP SDU for transfer to the memory unit, the CP controls the hardware accelerators to generate and write PDCP, RLC, MAC headers to the memory unit and assemble the generated headers and the transmit PDCP SDU from the memory unit into transmit MAC PDU for provision to the second data sink. In response to sourcing receive MAC PDU for transfer to the memory unit, the CP controls the hardware accelerators to decode PDCP, RLC MAC headers of the receive MAC PDU in the memory unit to determine locations of receive PDCP SDU in the memory unit and fetch the receive PDCP SDU from the determined locations for provision to the first data sink.

    摘要: Various embodiments of methods and associated devices for increasing throughput in a programmable hardware element using interleaved data converters are disclosed. A device comprising a programmable hardware element may be configured to comprise a plurality N of processing portions. The device may receive an input signal, and sample the signal in an interleaved fashion, on a per sample basis, at an effective rate K, to produce N parallel data streams. The N parallel data streams may be processed in parallel by the plurality N of processing portions. Outputs of the plurality N of processing portions may be combined to produce output data. The effective rate K and/or the number N of parallel data streams may be specified by user input. Alternatively, these values may be determined automatically. For example, the effective rate K may be determined automatically based on a bandwidth of the input signal.

    摘要: A UE determines a beam coherence interval metric that is a measure of stability of a beam pair over time based on a set of beam coherence intervals measured by the UE. The beam pair comprises a UE receive beam and a base station transmit beam. A beam coherence interval comprises a time duration within which a quality of a signal received on the UE receive beam remains within one of a plurality of signal quality bins. The UE reports the metric to the base station. The base station may update beam management resource and reporting configurations to the UE based on the metric. The UE may also use the metric to determine a hysteresis value useable by the UE to decide to switch from an active receive beam to a different receive beam having a higher signal quality by at least the hysteresis value.
