Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device and a cellular base station to support common analog beam steering for band groups. The wireless device may provide an indication of analog beam steering capability of the wireless device to the cellular base station. For example, the wireless device may support a limited number of analog beams for each of one or more band groups. The cellular base station may select beam configuration information for the wireless device based at least in part on the indication of analog beam steering capability of the wireless device. This may include selecting a common beam for multiple component carriers for the wireless device based on the wireless device’s analog beam steering capability. The cellular base station may provide the beam configuration information to the wireless device.

An electronic device may include a set of antenna panels (APs) that transmit and receive signals within a set of signal beams. A proximity sensor such as a radar sensor may gather sensor data indicative of the position an external object. The device may select an AP and a beam that maximize wireless performance in communicating with a base station while also complying with the radio-frequency exposure (RFE). The device may select the AP and the beam based on the sensor data, per-panel and per-beam projected RFE values, antenna port RFE characteristics, per-panel and per-beam transmit power limits, per-beam transmit power backoffs, an RFE lookup table, regulatory RFE limits, and antenna performance metrics. The device may transmit an RFE report to the base station that identifies some or all of this information for use in updating scheduling for the device.

A disclosed wireless tunneling system tunnels communications between two processing apparatuses through a wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the two processing apparatuses with a wired communication protocol. In one embodiment, the wireless tunneling system includes two wireless tunneling apparatuses that communicate with each other through the wireless link. A local wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to a local processing apparatus through a wired connection and a remote wireless tunneling apparatus is coupled to the remote processing apparatus through another wired connection. In one aspect, the local wireless tunneling apparatus predicts a state of the remote processing apparatus, and mirrors the predicted state of the remote processing apparatus. Mirroring the state based on the prediction enables high speed data rate tunneling between the two processing apparatuses through the wireless link without a delay associated with the wireless tunneling apparatuses affecting the high speed data rate tunneling.

A wireless tunneling system tunnels communications between a first host device and a second host device through a wireless link, while maintaining compliance of the communications between the first and second host devices with a wired communication protocol and operates in a power efficient manner. Two host devices may communicate with each other through a wireless link using the wireless tunneling system, as if two host devices were connected through the wired cable. The wireless tunneling system operates in one of a high power state and one or more low power states. In the high power state, the wireless tunneling system exchanges data at a higher data rate for tunneling. In the low power state, the wireless tunneling system disables power hungry components for conserving power.
