Some examples include conducting link re-training by: receiving, by a receiver in a first device, signals over a lane from a transmitter in a second device, the signals comprising a first communication identifying capability to re-train a link; transmitting, from the first device, a second communication including one or more components of a second device with capability to be adjusted and a request to modify one or more parameters of the one or more components; and receiving, at the first device, a third communication identifying a status of re-training. In some examples, the one or more components comprise an equalizer and the one or more parameters comprises at least one tap setting. In some examples, the one or more parameters comprise a precursor, main cursor or post-cursor equalization setting.

Abstract: Multimedia codecs (compression methods), based only on FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) have been recently proposed. These codecs use the largest points (foreground) and the most energetic bands (background). Medium quality versions are based on the largest local peaks only. The phases can be ignored with the largest local peaks or in the background. Alternatively, sine and cosine amplitudes can be used. This invention describes methods for giving utility to the reintroduced phases, in particular: local peaks are grouped to have a very narrow bandwidth, with the phases containing the displacements of these peaks, and we transport data and the points of the foreground in the phases of the background. High speed communications are supported using techniques similar to OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing). These processes are intended to be used in particular with connected objects and in the physical layers of computer networks.

Abstract: A base station may generate and transmit a transport stream including a sequence of frames. A frame may include a plurality of partitions, where each partition includes a corresponding set of OFDM symbols. For each partition, the OFDM symbols in that partition may have a corresponding cyclic prefix size and a corresponding FFT size, allowing different partitions to be targeted for different collections of user devices, e.g., user devices having different expected values of maximum delay spread and/or different ranges of mobility. The base station may also dynamically re-configure the sample rate of each frame, allowing further resolution in control of subcarrier spacing. By allowing the cyclic prefixes of different OFDM symbols to have different lengths, it is feasible to construct a frame that confirms to a set payload duration and has arbitrary values of cyclic prefix size per partition and FFT size per partition. The partitions may be multiplexed in time and/or frequency.

Abstract: Amplitude noise, phase noise, and interference can be mitigated in 5G and 6G by exploiting advantages of two different modulation schemes. A message may be modulated according to a first modulation scheme, such as multiplexed amplitude and phase modulation, and then received (including noise and interference) according to a second modulation scheme, such as QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation). In addition, a compact demodulation reference can be transmitted wherein a first resource element exhibits a particular phase along with a maximum and a minimum branch amplitude, and a second resource element is blank. The receiver calibrates the amplitude levels according to the demodulation reference, calculates the phase noise according to a ratio of the two branch amplitudes, and measures the interference according to the unpowered (blank) second resource element. The receiver can then demodulate the message according to the second modulation scheme, while correcting for phase noise, fading, and interference.

Carrier frequency offsets (CFO) can result in an unknown rotation of all zeros of a received signal's z-transform.
