This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to perform millimeter wavelength communication with increased reliability and power efficiency using sensor inputs. The sensor inputs may include motion, rotation, or temperature measurements, among various possibilities. The sensor inputs may be used when performing beamforming tracking, antenna configuration, transmit and receive chain measurements and selection, and/or in any of various other possible operations.

Millimeter wave link reliability and power efficiency improvements using sensor input

This disclosure relates to performing cellular communication using a control information monitoring framework. A wireless device may monitor a control channel for control information according to a first periodic pattern. According to the first periodic pattern, the wireless device may monitor the control channel in a specified slot during each period of the first periodic pattern. Each period of the first periodic pattern may include multiple slots. The wireless device may receive control information during a first slot. The first slot may be a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern. The control information received during the first slot may schedule a data communication. The wireless device may monitor the control channel for control information in at least one slot that is not specified according to the first periodic pattern based at least in part on receiving control information during a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern.
