    Abstract: Example channel measurement methods and communications apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a precoded reference signal by a terminal device, where the precoded reference signal is obtained by precoding a reference signal based on K angle vectors and L delay vectors. First indication information is generated and sent, where the first indication information is used to indicate P weighting coefficients corresponding to P angle-delay pairs. The P weighting coefficients are determined by using the precoded reference signal. The P angle-delay pairs and the P weighting coefficients corresponding to the P angle-delay pairs are used to determine a precoding matrix. Each angle-delay pair includes one of the K angle vectors and one of the L delay vectors. The K angle vectors and the L delay vectors are determined based on uplink channel measurement.

  • Patent number: 11665028
    Abstract: An integrated circuit equalizes a data signal expressed as a series of symbols. The symbols form data patterns with different frequency components. By considering these patterns, the integrated circuit can experiment with equalization settings specific to a subset of the frequency components, thereby finding an equalization control setting that optimizes equalization. Optimization can be accomplished by setting the equalizer to maximize symbol amplitude.

  • Patent number: 11664836
    Abstract: A received signal is enhanced by removing distortion components of a concurrently transmitted signal. A received signal is acquired in a receive frequency band concurrently with transmission of a transmit signal in a transmit frequency band. The received signal includes an intermodulation distortion component of the transmit signal. A representation of the transmit signal is processed using a non-linear predictor to output a distortion signal representing predicted distortion components in the received signal. The received signal is enhanced using the distortion signal by removing the predicted distortion components from the received signal corresponding to the distortion signal.

  • Patent number: 11621741
    Abstract: An adaptive modulation, coding and spreading (AMCS) transmitter is configured to map modulation symbols to a plurality of OFDM subcarriers to generate symbol-modulated subcarriers. For AMCS, some of the modulation symbols may be mapped to individual subcarriers (e.g., similar to conventional OFDM) and one or more of the modulation symbols may be mapped to (i.e., spread across) more than one of the subcarriers (i.e., unlike conventional OFDM) based on a spreading ratio. An IFFT may be performed on the symbol-modulated subcarriers prior to transmission. AMCS allows for adaptation to lower capacity and/or frequency-selective channels by optionally spreading existing modulations over multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS expands the catalog for possible modulations/codings by splitting a symbol across multiple carriers and/or time slots. AMCS is particularly useful when channel conditions are highly frequency-dependent or uniformly low capacity.
