  • Publication number: 20220014217
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for wireless communication are described. Input data for in-phase branch/quadrature branch (I/Q) imbalance or mismatch may be compensated for or non-linear power amplifier noise may be used to generate compensated input data. In some examples, a transmitter may be configured to transmit communications signaling via a first antenna, the transmitter including a filter configured for digital mismatch correction; a receiver may be configured to receive communications signaling via a second antenna; and a switch may be configured to selectively activate a first switch path to couple the transmitter and the first antenna and a second switch path to couple the receiver and the transmitter to provide communications signaling received via the transmitter as feedback for the filter through the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11206050
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of full duplex compensation with a self-interference noise calculator that compensates for the self-interference noise generated by power amplifiers at harmonic frequencies of a respective wireless receiver. The self-interference noise calculator may be coupled to antennas of a wireless device and configured to generate the adjusted signals that compensate self-interference. The self-interference noise calculator may include a network of processing elements configured to combine transmission signals into sets of intermediate results. Each set of intermediate results may be summed in the self-interference noise calculator to generate a corresponding adjusted signal.

  • Patent number: 11201646
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of an autocorrelation calculator. An electronic device including an autocorrelation calculator may be configured to calculate an autocorrelation matrix including an autocorrelation of symbols indicative of a first radio frequency (“RF”) signal and a second RF signal. The electronic device may calculate the autocorrelation matrix based on a stored autocorrelation matrix and the autocorrelation of symbols indicative of the first RF signal and symbols indicative of the second RF signal. The stored autocorrelation matrix may represent another received signal at a different time period than a time period of the first and second RF signals. Examples of the systems and methods may facilitate the processing of data for wireless and may utilize less memory space than a device than a scheme that stores and calculates autocorrelation from a large dataset computed from various time points.

  • Publication number: 20210367822
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data with coefficient data. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data for a transmission in a radio frequency (RF) wireless domain with the coefficient data to generate output data that is representative of the transmission being processed according to the wireless protocol in the RF wireless domain. A computing device may be trained to generate coefficient data based on the operations of a wireless transceiver such that mixing input data using the coefficient data generates an approximation of the output data, as if it were processed by the wireless transceiver. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 11159188
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for non-linear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a coefficient calculator. The coefficient calculator may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to a coefficient calculator. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Publication number: 20210328631
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods, including wireless devices and systems with neuron calculators that may perform one or more functionalities of a wireless transceiver. The neuron calculator calculates output signals that may be implemented, for example, using accumulation units that sum the multiplicative processing results of ordered sets from ordered neurons with connection weights for each connection between an ordered neuron and outputs of the neuron calculator. The ordered sets may be a combination of some input signals, with the number of signals determined by an order of the neuron. Accordingly, a kth-order neuron may include an ordered set comprising product values of k input signals, where the input signals are selected from a set of k-combinations with repetition. As an example in a wireless transceiver, the neuron calculator may perform channel estimation as a channel estimation processing component of the receiver portion of a wireless transceiver.
