  • Patent number: 11956178
    Abstract: A signal sending method, a signal receiving method, and a device for signal transmission or receiving are provided. A part that is of a first signal and that is carried on a kth subcarrier in an ith subcarrier group in N subcarrier groups is xi,nid(k), and a sequence {si,nid(k)} related to xi,nid(k) is one of enumerated sequences. The enumerated sequences are sequences with relatively good cross-correlation. Therefore, for two subcarrier groups, provided that selected {si,nid(k)} is two of the enumerated sequences, cross-correlation between signals carried in the two subcarrier groups can be ensured to be relatively good, thereby reducing interference between the signals and improving channel estimation performance.

  • Patent number: 11909662
    Abstract: Reservations of resources within a dynamic workspace are made and facilitated including by pushing configurations specific to a worker for whom a reservation is made to the resource for a limited time period for the reservation. When the worker arrives for the reservation and checks in, configurations associated with the worker are obtained and pushed to the resource to configure the resource for use by the worker for a time period of the reservation. In some cases, an identity of the worker may be verified to complete the check in process for the reservation. In response to an end time of the reservation being determined, such as based on a scheduled end time for the reservation or based on a determination that the resource has gone unused for some amount of time, the configurations are removed from the resource to prepare the resource for use by a next worker.
