  • Publication number: 20240039645
    Abstract: A communication system includes one or more transmitters, each transmitter to: transmit communication signals using a defined signaling protocol with multiple antenna elements to a target receiver, the communication signals containing known specific transmit sequences spread across a frequency spectrum of the communication signals to be detectable only by receivers having the known specific transmit sequences, and receive feedback from the target receiver indicating any errors in reception of the communication signals based upon the known specific transmit sequences, and a machine learning system to use configuration of the multiple antenna elements when the communication signal was sent and the feedback to predict preconfigured settings for transmitters.

  • Patent number: 8768411
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for integration of RF components onto a single die with functional processing circuitry. For example, one integrated circuit may comprise multiple processors that can communicate there between by way of Radio Frequency (RF) transmission. The processors may also communicate with slave devices by way of radio frequency. Transmission and reception may be at frequencies in a band hitherto unused in computing devices and their peripherals.

  • Patent number: 8611478
    Abstract: Provided herein are different embodiments for performing radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation in electronic devices such as mobile computing systems. In some embodiments, a dynamic RFI mitigation scheme allows for monitoring of wireless channels for RFI and to adaptively shift an identified RFI source (e.g., system clock) harmonics, e.g., either out of the on-channels or to a neutral position within the on-channels such as by using cost-function analysis.

  • Patent number: 8483621
    Abstract: A method of sensing radio frequency interference (RFI) in a wireless system is provided. The method includes receiving wireless data through a wireless receiver and evaluating received wireless data through a receiver baseband module to identify an occurrence of a signal detection failure by a physical (PHY) layer or a media access control (MAC) layer of the wireless system. The method also includes triggering a radio frequency interference sensing state in response to the occurrence of signal detection failure by the physical layer or the media access control layer of the wireless system.

  • Patent number: 8290439
    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for RFI mitigation in a wireless computing environment. In one embodiment, a platform determines RFI information of the platform by listening with a receiver of a transceiver of the platform when the transmitter of the transceiver is quiescent. The platform derives Frequency Domain Weights from the RFI information and transmits the Frequency Domain Weights to a Wireless Access Point (WAP). In the transmitter and receiver of the WAP, the Frequency Domain Weights are applied to signals received and to be transmitted.

  • Patent number: 7804920
    Abstract: A method according to one embodiment for mitigating radio frequency interference by identifying system clocks, identifying active radio channels, measuring clock harmonics in or near the active radio channels, determining potential interference occurring if the clocks were moved to new fundamental frequencies, and shifting clock fundamental frequencies to reduce interference to the active radio channels based on existing interference and the potential interference of a plurality of new fundamental frequencies. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
