Patent number: 11973547Abstract: Proposed are a method and device for receiving a feedback frame in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a first STA transmits an NDPA frame to a second STA. The first STA transmits an NDP frame to the second STA. The first STA receives, from the second STA, a feedback frame transmitted on the basis of the NDP frame. The feedback frame includes information about a beamforming feedback matrix. The information about the beamforming feedback matrix includes a first bit for the index difference between quantized phi of adjacent subcarriers, and a second bit for the index difference between quantized psi of the adjacent subcarriers. The adjacent subcarriers are two adjacent subcarriers starting with the first subcarrier among all of the subcarriers. The first subcarrier is either the left edge subcarrier or the right edge subcarrier. The quantized phi and psi are information about beamforming angles.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sunwoong Yun, Jinmin Kim, Eunsung Park, Dongguk Lim, Jinsoo Choi

Patent number: 11914063Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated detection of border conflicts in physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, proposed sector antennas in a greenfield physical network deployment may be licensed to radiate in certain spectrum blocks in the mapped licensed geographic regions (mLGR) where they are located, but the licenses may not permit radiated power in those spectrum blocks to cross into adjacent mLGRs. Embodiments compute radiation contours for the sector antennas indicating estimated local power levels computed based on antenna characteristics of the sector antennas and propagation model data that defines geographic morphologies for the mLGRs. The radiation contours are analyzed to detect any border conflict conditions where the estimated local power levels exceed defined threshold radiation levels in unlicensed regions. A culprit set of the sector antennas can be output to indicate those responsible for detected border conflict conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Aravind Anchala, Dilip Tandekar, Gurpreet Sohi, Sourabh Gupta, Neil Nocete
