Patent number: 11522634Abstract: Modulation schemes for 5G and 6G are disclosed that can be demodulated accurately even when two transmissions collide. The modulation states are configured to reveal the interference and, in most cases, provide an unambiguous determination of the original content. In other cases, when inevitable ambiguities remain, the number of possible states is greatly reduced, enabling rapid selection of the correct state using error-detection codes. The states of the modulation scheme may include phase modulation or amplitude modulation or both, and may be based on classical amplitude-phase modulation or pulse-amplitude modulation. Each state is structured so that any collision, between any two of the states, produces a readily identified amplitude-phase combination, from which the original message and the intruding message can be deduced. Enhanced network throughput and reliability, with fewer retransmission and dropped messages, may result. Many other aspects are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G, LLCInventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill

Patent number: 11516065Abstract: Faulted messages in 5G or 6G are generally discarded and a retransmission is then requested. However, the faulted message contains valuable information despite the few faulted message elements. Retransmission is a time-consuming energy-intensive process. Therefore, the present disclosure pertains to procedures for determining which specific message elements, of a corrupted message, are actually faulted. To do so, the receiver can determine a modulation quality of each message element by measuring a difference between the amplitude levels of the message element and the predetermined amplitude levels of the modulation scheme. For example, the modulation scheme may involve an I-branch and an orthogonal Q-branch, each with a different amplitude. The message quality may be related to the deviation of each branch amplitude from the closest predetermined amplitude level of the modulation scheme. A large amplitude deviation indicates a suspicious message element. Many other aspects are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2022Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G, LLCInventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill

Patent number: 10804945Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for dynamic interference cancellation in wireless receivers. In some aspects, a signal vector transmitted through a wireless environment is received via multiple antennas of a receiver, the signal vector affected by interfering signals in the wireless environment. The receiver determines an interference channel matrix for the signal vector based on the interference received with the signal vector and selects, from the interference channel matrix, columns of the interference channel matrix to form a noise-cancelling equalization matrix. The receiver then equalizes the signal vector with the noise-cancelling equalization matrix to remove a portion of interference from the signal vector to provide noise-cancelled equalized values of the signal vector for decoding. By so doing, the receiver may reduce effects of interference of the wireless environment (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: B Hari Ram, Lokesh Sundaramurthy Satrasala, Sudhir Srinivasa, Hongyuan Zhang

Patent number: 10715288Abstract: An access point (AP) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) uses a protocol to determine frequency/time resource allocations of resource units (RUs) in parallel with data transfer to and from WLAN stations (STAs). The AP generates a sounding table associating STAs with RUs for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). The AP processes the sounding table to create a channel map table and then the AP allocates particular RUs to particular STAs. The STAs then receive and transmit data from and to the AP over the allocated RUs. This approach achieves good throughput while reducing the use of signaling and pilot overhead associated with channel sounding. To avoid interruption of ongoing transmissions, a newly arriving STA is grouped and sounded with other STAs. The protocol includes a joint sounding and data epoch followed by a determination of the channel map table.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Oren Shani, Guoqing Li, Joonsuk Kim, Ashok Ranganath

Patent number: 10263660Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus used in wireless communications. The methods and apparatus establish a codebook for use in sparse code multiple access (SCMA) encoded communications, in particular. The SCMA codebook is configured to set the codebook for at least one layer (i.e., a user) to include a constellation of points having a first grouping of constellation points located at first radial distance from an origin in a complex plane and a second grouping of constellation points located at a second radial distance from the origin.

Patent number: 10097246Abstract: A control method for a communication network that has a transmitter with an array of transmit antennas and that has at least one receiver communicating with the transmitter. The receiver performs a channel measurement for a receive antenna of the receiver using a signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver.
