Patent number: 11843468Abstract: A major goal of 5G and especially 6G is reliable, low-latency communication. Unfortunately, higher density networks result in increasing interference, and higher frequency bands inevitably have signal fading problems, leading to frequency message faults. To restore high-speed, high-reliability messaging, methods are disclosed for evaluating the signal quality of each message element of a received message so that any faulting can be localized to the message elements with the lowest signal quality. Numerous contributions to signal quality are disclosed, including modulation, amplitude and phase stability, polarization and inter-symbol irregularities, expected message format and meaning, and common or unexpected bit sequences. Many further aspects are included.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2023Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Inventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill

Patent number: 11824667Abstract: Message faults are an increasing problem for 5G and expected 6G networks, due to growth, crowding, and signal fading problems. Disclosed are procedures for determining which particular message element of a corrupted message is faulted, and optionally the most likely correction. A receiver can identify the faulted message element by measuring the fluctuations, in phase and amplitude, of the waveform of each message element, as well as the modulation quality, frequency offset, and other signal measurements. Faulted message elements are likely to have higher fluctuations, higher modulation deviations, and higher signal irregularities, than the unfaulted ones. Mitigation can then be applied to the faulted message elements, thereby recovering the correct message and avoiding a costly retransmission delay. AI models may enhance the fault detection sensitivity by exploiting correlations between the various waveform measurement parameters, and then may predict the corrected value of the faulted message elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G LLCInventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill
