  • Patent number: 11646828
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, devices (e.g., base stations, user equipment (UEs), etc.) may utilize polar coding along with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. In these systems, a device may encode bits for transmission by mapping information and parity check bits to a first set of polarized bit channels of a polar code. If this transmission is not successfully received at a decoding device, the encoding device may generate a HARQ retransmission. The device may copy information bits to a second set of polarized bit channels of a second polar code containing the first polar code and may assign parity check bits to the second set of bit channels for the copied information bits. These additional parity check bits for the repeated information bits may increase transmission reliability and may support improved early termination at the decoding device.

  • Patent number: 11622370
    Abstract: A guard period for switching between uplink and downlink subframes is created by shortening an uplink subframe, i.e., by not transmitting during one or more symbol intervals at the beginning of the subframe interval. A grant message includes signaling indicating when a shortened subframe should be transmitted. An example method is implemented in a first wireless node configured to transmit data in transmit subframes occurring at defined subframe intervals and having a predetermined number of symbol intervals. This example method includes determining that a transmit subframe is to be shortened, relative to the predetermined number of symbol intervals and, in response to this determination, shortening transmission of the transmit subframe by not transmitting during a beginning portion of the subframe interval for the transmit subframe and transmitting during the remainder of the subframe interval.

  • Patent number: 11616736
    Abstract: A communication system in which DRA control is aided by RL. An example embodiment may control one or more buffer queues populated by downstream and/or upstream data streams. The egress rates of the buffer queues can be dynamically controlled using an RL technique, according to which a learning agent can adaptively change the state-to-action mapping function of the DRA controller while circumventing the RL exploration phase and relying on extrapolation of the already taken actions instead. This feature may result in at least two benefits: (i) cancellation of a performance penalty typically associated with RL exploration; and (ii) faster learning of the environment, as the learning agent can determine the performance metrics of many actions per state in a single occurrence of the state. In an example embodiment, the communication system may be a DSL system, a PON system, or a wireless communication system.
