  • Patent number: 11876659
    Abstract: A data communication method in which input digital data is received and encoded into an encoded waveform having zero crossings representative of the input digital data. The encoding includes generating the encoded waveform based upon a continuous piecewise function having sinusoidal components. The continuous piecewise function may be used in generating a plurality of symbol waveforms, each of which occupies a period of the encoded waveform and represents bits of the input digital data. The plurality of symbol waveforms are defined so that a value of a phase offset used in the continuous piecewise function is different for each of the plurality of symbol waveforms, thereby resulting in each symbol waveform having a different zero crossing. An encoded analog waveform is generated from a representation of the encoded waveform and transmitted to a receiver.

  • Patent number: 11831472
    Abstract: Pre-scaled orthogonal differential vector signalling (ODVS) techniques are described. The ODVS encoding schemes described herein generate one sub-channel for each bit by multiplying each bit by a different row in a transmitter encoding matrix to produce a set of sub-channels. Each wire carries a signal that is a superposition of elements from all of the sub-channels in the set. The transmitter encoding matrix is selected such that its rows (i.e. sub-channels) are mutual orthogonal. This means that the receiver can decode the signals received from all wires in concert to reliably recover the original bits. The transmitter encoding matrix is a Hadamard matrix in some cases. This disclosure is particularly focussed on ODVS techniques that apply a scaling factor, termed a ‘pre-scaler’, to a weaker sub-channel or sub-channels within the set of sub-channels so as to boost that/those sub-channel(s) relative to the other sub-channels.

  • Patent number: 11804883
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for wireless communications that support transmission diversity enhancement for uplink control channel are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for enhanced performance of an uplink control channel such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) through the use of transmission diversity. In some cases, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques may be supported for transmission of an uplink control channel for a given format suitable for transmission diversity enhancement. A resource block (RB) used in an uplink control channel transmission may contain a number of resource elements (REs) across one or more resource blocks. According to some aspects, a transmit diversity scheme may be employed at the RE level through application of different spatial precoders for different groups of REs of a given RB.
