Abstract:
Systems and methods herein remedy thermal constraints experienced by wireless communication systems operating in the millimeter wave spectrum. User equipment (UE) having a plurality of antenna subarrays controlled by respective RFICs monitor temperature gradients of respective sectors of the UE. Upon the thermal gradient of a sector reaching a temperature threshold, the UE performs thermal management steps to prevent hardware of a respective sector from damage due to overshoot.

Claim (Index 23):
A wireless communication system that adjusts beamforming to prevent thermal overshoot of user equipment (UE) hardware, the system comprising:\n multiple antenna subarrays of the UE including a servicing antenna subarray that is servicing millimeter wave (mmW) communications and at least one other antenna subarrays; one or more temperature sensors of the UE that detect that a thermal gradient of a sector of the UE breaches a thermal threshold; and a processor of the UE that determines whether one or more alternate antenna subarrays are operable to support wireless communications during a beam scanning period, wherein the processor further determines that the thermal gradient of the sector of the UE meets the thermal threshold and based at least in part on the thermal gradient meeting the thermal threshold, ceases the servicing antenna subarray from servicing the millimeter wave (mmW) communications at least until the thermal gradient of the sector meets a cool down threshold.
