  • Patent number: 11812392
    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus outputs first and second beams, based on a weighting vector representing gain and/or phase weighting. The apparatus derives a weighting vector corresponding to a maximum eigen value of a matrix obtained by subtracting, from a first matrix representing a main lobe output power of the first beam, a matrix obtained by multiplying a second matrix representing a side lobe output power of the first beam to a reduction ratio for reducing the side lobe output power of the first beam interfering with a main lobe of the second beam. The apparatus determines whether or not a power ratio of the main lobe output power of the first beam with respect to the side lobe output power of the first beam is greater than a maximum SIRmax, and extracts the weighting vector when the power ratio is not larger than the maximum SIRmax.

  • Patent number: 11792747
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a radio that generates a first maximum power based on a radio-frequency exposure (RFE) budget. The radio may transmit signals subject to the first maximum power during a subperiod of an averaging period and may generate an instantaneous RFE metric value based on an antenna coefficient and the conducted transmit power of the antenna during the subperiod. The radio may generate a consumed RFE value by averaging the instantaneous RFE metric value with previous instantaneous RFE values from the averaging period, may generate a remaining budget based on the consumed RFE value, may generate a second maximum transmit power based on the remaining budget, and may transmit signals during a subsequent subperiod subject to the second maximum power. Time-averaging the RFE metric may serve to optimize performance of the radio relative to scenarios where the radio performs time-averaging of conducted TX power.

  • Patent number: 11792735
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a control message scheduling a multicast transmission, where the UE may identify a closed loop power control parameter for transmitting acknowledgment feedback responsive to the multicast transmission based on the multicast transmission transmitted to multiple UEs. The closed loop power control parameter may be indicated by a base station in a separate message than a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the multicast transmission. For example, the base station may transmit the indication of the closed loop power control parameter in a group-transmit power control DCI or in a configuration for transmitting sounding reference signals. Additionally, the UE may adjust a transmit power for the acknowledgment feedback based on whether or not a DCI scheduling a retransmission is received in a time window after transmitting the acknowledgment feedback.

  • Patent number: 11784709
    Abstract: A method and a receiver device for detecting the start of a frame of a satellite communication signal. A shaping filtering is applied directly after sampling of the signal, before a frequency correction is applied. During a first phase, an approximate frequency error and a candidate first sample for the start of the frame are estimated by performing several correlations respectively associated with different frequency hypotheses. The samples obtained after sampling or after shaping filtering are buffered during the execution of the first phase. Then, during a second phase, a final candidate sample for the start of the frame is determined from the memorised samples, using the approximate frequency error and the candidate first sample estimated during the first phase.
