  • Patent number: 11695612
    Abstract: A faulted message element in 5G or 6G can often be identified according to its modulation parameters, including a large deviation of the branch amplitudes from the predetermined amplitude levels of the modulation scheme, and/or the SNR of the branch amplitudes, and/or an amplitude variation of the raw signal or the branches during the message element, and/or an inconsistency between the modulation state as determined by the amplitude and phase of the raw waveform versus the amplitudes of the orthogonal branch signals, among other measures of modulation quality. An AI model may be necessary to correlate the various quality measures, and optionally to determine the correct demodulation of faulted message elements. Costly, time-consuming retransmissions may be avoided by determining the correct demodulation of each message element at the receiver, thereby improving throughput and reliability with fewer delays.

  • Patent number: 11695602
    Abstract: A digital down converter (DDC) that improves efficiency by taking advantage of the periodicity of the coarse mixing process and the memory inherent in the convolution operation performed by decimation filters. In embodiments, the DDC filters and decimates a received signal to generate subfilter outputs and coarse mixes the subfilter outputs for each frequency band of interest. Accordingly, the DDC eliminates the need for separate decimation filters for each of the in-phase (I-phase) and quadrature (Q-phase) signals of each frequency band. In some embodiments, for each frequency band, the DDC combines the subfilter outputs into partial sums for each of the I- and Q-phases. In some of those embodiments, the coarse mixing operation is performed by multiplying the partial sums by real multiplicands and performing a simple post-rotation operation. In those embodiments, the DDC significantly reduces the number of multiplication operations required to perform the coarse mixing process.

  • Patent number: 11652514
    Abstract: System and methods for wirelessly transporting data from a first communication node to a second communication node using different combinations of beams and on a packet-by-packet basis. Packets associated with a certain Quality of Service (QoS) and/or latency requirements are transported between the first and the second nodes using a first transmission path, while packets associated with a different QoS/latency requirements, are transported between the first and the second nodes using another transmission path, in which in order to switch from the first path to the second path, the system adjusts appropriate beam directions in real-time, and so as to result in fast-switching beam configurations that dynamically change in accordance to packet movement in the network. Latency-critical packets are directed to the faster path, while other packets are directed to the slower path, so as to prevent network congestion and optimize overall network performance.
