Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for uplink (UL) coverage enhancements with joint phase-time arrays (JPTAs). A method for operating a base station (BS) includes identifying criteria associated with a set of user equipments (UEs) in a cell of the BS and determining, based on the criteria, a first subset of the set of UEs to use a JPTA beamforming. The method further includes using the JPTA beamforming for signaling with the first subset of UEs and using an analog beamforming for signaling with a second subset of UEs in the set of UEs.
