Abstract
Disclosed is a method comprising selecting a reference point associated with a position of a terminal device (302), determining a timing offset associated with one or more first antenna panels (304), wherein the timing offset is determined based at least partly on the reference point, and applying the timing offset to the one or more first antenna panels (305).
Claims21
A user equipment comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment to:
- select, by the user equipment, a reference point comprised in a second antenna panel and associated with a position of the user equipment;
- determine, by the user equipment, a timing offset associated with one or more first antenna panels, wherein the timing offset is determined based at least partly on the reference point, the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel, and wherein the user equipment comprises the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel;
- and
- apply, by the user equipment, the timing offset to the one or more first antenna panels.
A system comprising at least a user equipment and one or more base stations;
- wherein the user equipment is configured to:
- select a reference point comprised in a second antenna panel and associated with a position of the user equipment;
- determine a timing offset associated with one or more first antenna panels, wherein the timing offset is determined based at least partly on the reference point, the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel, and wherein the user equipment comprises the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel;
- apply the timing offset to the one or more first antenna panels;
- and
- transmit at least one signal to the one or more base stations via the one or more first antenna panels by using the timing offset;
- and
- wherein the one or more base stations are configured to:
- receive the at least one signal.
A method comprising:
- selecting, by a user equipment, a reference point comprised in a second antenna panel and associated with a position of the user equipment;
- determining, by the user equipment, a timing offset associated with one or more first antenna panels, wherein the timing offset is determined based at least partly on the reference point, the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel, and wherein the user equipment comprises the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel;
- and
- applying, by the user equipment, the timing offset to the one or more first antenna panels.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by user equipment, cause the user equipment to perform at least the following:
- select, by the user equipment, a reference point comprised in a second antenna panel and associated with a position of the user equipment;
- determine, by the user equipment, a timing offset associated with one or more first antenna panels, wherein the timing offset is determined based at least partly on the reference point, the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel, and wherein the user equipment comprises the one or more first antenna panels and the second antenna panel;
- and
- apply, by the user equipment, the timing offset to the one or more first antenna panels.
