A method performed by a receiver of a wireless communications system to reduce the latency of channel estimation. The method includes receiving a data signal and a sequence of reference signals communicated over a wireless communication channel. In response to determining that the data signal is time critical or that a threshold reliability of the channel estimation is not required, the receiver estimates a channel condition of the wireless communication channel based on a portion of the sequence of reference signals. The receiver performs demodulation and decoding of the data signal prior to processing the entirety of the sequence of reference signals. The demodulation and decoding are adapted based on the estimated channel condition of the wireless communication channel.

Additionally, the processor circuitry can be further configured to perform a wireless measurement according to the prioritization between the intra-frequency measurement signal and the uplink transmission signal.

Scheduling restriction method for intra-frequency measurement

A method performed by a beam management system that obtains spatial and temporal measurements of a mobile terminal and geolocation information of an associated base station on a wireless communication network. The system determines a phase compensation value for the mobile terminal based on the obtained information, which is used to calculate or select coefficients for antenna elements that form an optimal antenna beam. Thus, the system can perform beam switching quickly and efficiently based on predicted spatial or temporal characteristics of the mobile terminal without needing to wait for actual beam measurements.
