Publication number: 20240161765Abstract: In one example embodiment, speech signals are received from a user during a communication session. The received speech signals contain noise including speech of other individuals. The received speech signals are transformed by a machine learning model to produce transformed speech signals corresponding to the received speech signals with a reduced amount of the noise. The machine learning model is trained with speech of the user satisfying a noise threshold and collected during one or more communication sessions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Kamil Krzysztof Wojcicki, Xuehong Mao, David Guoqing Zhang, Samer Hijazi, Raul Alejandro Casas

Patent number: 9100228Abstract: A method and system for canonical channel estimation in the Long Term Evolution uplink where a multi-frequency signal is generated and then converted to frequency spectrum which is then convolved in the frequency domain with a truncated window function to obtain a time domain channel impulse response. The time domain channel impulse response can be then transformed to a frequency domain to produce a down sampled user channel response, which can be then linearly interpolated to provide a channel estimate for a plurality of subcarriers. Such an approach achieves channel estimation within Long Term Evolution at only canonical locations to reduce complexity without loss in channel entropy.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2010Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 9069685Abstract: A digital signal processor and method are disclosed having an instruction set with one or more non-linear functions using a look-up table of reduced size. A digital signal processor evaluates a non-linear function for a value, x, by obtaining two or more values for the non-linear function that are near the value, x, from at least one look-up table, wherein the at least one look-up table stores a subset of values for the non-linear function; and interpolating the two or more obtained values to obtain a result, y. The interpolation may comprise, for example, a linear interpolation or a polynomial interpolation. In a further variation, a modulo arithmetic operation can be employed for a periodic non-linear function.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2008Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kameran Azadet, Jian-Guo Chen, Samer Hijazi, Joseph Williams
