Patent number: 10257013Abstract: A method of modulating and demodulating superposed signals for MUST scheme is proposed. A transmitter takes bit sequences intended for multiple receivers under MUST scheme to go through a “bit sequence to constellation points” mapper before entering the modulators to satisfy the Gray coding rule and to achieve high demodulation performance for the receivers. In a first method, each bit sequence is assigned for each constellation point on the constellation map to satisfy one or more conditions under different power split factors. In a second method, the constellation map is divided into sub-regions according to the clustering of the constellation points for bit sequence assignment. A near-UE may use an ML receiver for demodulation and decoding the superposed signal. A far-UE may use an ML receiver or an MMSE receiver for demodulation and decoding the superposed signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: HFI INNOVATION, INC.Inventors: Chien-Hwa Hwang, Yi-Ju Liao, Tsang-Wei Yu, Lung-Sheng Tsai, Tze-Ping Low, Pei-Kai Liao

Patent number: 9973305Abstract: When the codeword level interference cancellation (CW-IC) is used at the receiver in conjunction with the superposition coding scheme at the transmitter, it is helpful if the soft buffer at the receiver is reserved not only for the desired transport blocks (TBs) but also for the interfering TBs handled by the CW-IC. In so doing, the soft channel bits of interfering TBs at multiple (re)transmissions can be combined to enhance the success rate of data decoding. A soft buffer partition method for the soft channel bits of the desired and interfering TBs in the superposition coding scheme is proposed. The proposed method has a full flexibility in adjusting the soft buffer sizes for the desired and interfering TBs.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chien-Hwa Hwang, Yi-Ju Liao, Tze-Ping Low, Lung-Sheng Tsai

Patent number: 9893843Abstract: Methods for rate matching with soft buffer size setting at the transmitter and soft channel bits storage at the receiver for superposition coding are proposed. In the superposition coding scheme, a transport block intended to one UE needs to be decoded by another UE's receiver. However, the soft buffer sizes per code block of the two receivers may not be the same since the size depends on the UE category. The base station can signal the soft buffer size used at the transmitter for rate matching to the UEs for superposition decoding. A UE stores information bits associated with an interfering signal in its soft buffers in accordance with the soft buffer size used at the transmitter for rate matching. As a result, the UE can decode and subtract the interfering signal from the desired signal for superposition coding.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chien-Hwa Hwang, Lung-Sheng Tsai, Yi-Ju Liao, Tze-Ping Low

Patent number: 9876655Abstract: A Precoding-codebook-base Secure Uplink (PSU) scheme is proposed to utilize the channel reciprocity, uniqueness, and randomness in solving the secure initiation problem. A UE receives a first reference signal via first downlink channel in a mobile communication network. The UE performs channel estimation based on the first reference signal and thereby obtaining a first channel response matrix of the first downlink channel. The UE then encodes secrecy information onto a second reference signal. The UE transmits the second reference signal via a second uplink channel. The secrecy information is hidden in the uplink channel through a precoding operation such that the secrecy information can be extracted when the second uplink channel is reciprocal to the first downlink channel.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: MEDIATEK Singapore Pte.

Patent number: 9831958Abstract: When the codeword level interference cancellation (CW-IC) is used at the receiver in conjunction with the superposition coding scheme at the transmitter, in order to guarantee the success of signal reception, restrictions of scheduling decisions in resource allocation of superposed transport blocks may occur. A method to mitigate the scheduling restrictions is proposed. For a low-geometry UE in NOMA operation, one sub-band is used as the basic scheduling unit. As a result, data in resource blocks scheduled for NOMA operation and data in resource blocks scheduled for other non-NOMA operation correspond to different transport blocks. Therefore, a high-geometric UE only needs to decode the data scheduled for NOMA. The base station does not need to impose additional scheduling restrictions and signaling overhead.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chien-Hwa Hwang, Tze-Ping Low, Lung-Sheng Tsai, Yi-Ju Liao

Patent number: 9680578Abstract: A method is proposed to enable a UE performing codeword level interference cancellation (CW-IC) to know whether an interfering transport block (TB) is a new transmission or retransmission. With this knowledge, the UE knows whether the soft channel bits stored in a soft buffer are to be discarded or combined with the soft channel bits newly obtained.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Chien-Hwa Hwang, Yi-Ju Liao, Tze-Ping Low, Lung-Sheng Tsai

Patent number: 9661678Abstract: An enhanced connection recovery upon lost RRC connection due to radio link failure (RLF) or handover failure (HOF) is proposed. A UE first establishes an RRC connection in a source cell in a mobile communication network. Later on, the UE detects a failure event and starts an RRC reestablishment procedure in a target cell to restore the RRC connection. In a first novel aspect, a fast RLF process is applied to reduce the outage time in the serving cell. In a second novel aspect, an enhanced cell selection mechanism based on cell prioritization information is applied to reduce the outage time in the target cell. In one embodiment, multi-RAT registration is used to steer cell selection.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: MEDIATEK INC.Inventors: Per Johan Mikael Johansson, Yih-Shen Chen, Tze-Ping Low, William Plumb
