  • Patent number: 11490420
    Abstract: A technique for performing a multi-layer transmission of data on a radio frequency is described. The multi-layer transmission comprising multiple layers each having a different robustness on the radio frequency. As to a method aspect of the technique, a contention procedure is performed with respect to each of a plurality of access classes, ACs, for accessing the radio frequency. The multi-layer transmission is performed upon success of the contention procedure of at least one of the ACs. In a transmission opportunity defined by the successful contention procedure, data associated with the successful AC is transmitted on a main layer of the multi-layer transmission simultaneously with data associated with at least one further AC on at least one further layer, which is less robust than the main layer of the multi-layer transmission.

The peer-to-peer messaging protocol includes control tokens or other mechanisms by which the consumer of the intermediate results learns that data has been transferred, and in response thereto triggers its next dataflow segment. A host or configuration controller configures the data units with their respective dataflow segments, but once execution of the configured dataflow begins, no host need be involved in orchestrating data synchronization, the transfer of intermediate results, or the triggering of processing after the data are received. Control overhead is therefore minimized.

  • Patent number: 11368203
    Abstract: A system and method for one-way ranging is disclosed. The system comprises a transmitter, also referred to as a tag, transmitting a packet having a sounding sequence. The receiver, also referred to as the locator, receives the sounding sequence. The receiver measures and saves the phase at a plurality of points in time. The sounding sequence has two frequencies, which are additive inverses of one another. A discrete Fourier transform is performed on the plurality of phase measurements to determine the phase of each of the two frequencies. The difference between these two frequencies is related to the time that the packet traveled. Additionally, a calibration of the transmit path and/or receive path may be performed to improve the accuracy of the results.

  • Patent number: 11362878
    Abstract: Techniques and devices for signaling control and system information are provided. In one aspect, a base station determines a type of multiplexing and a periodicity for transmission of remaining minimum system information (RMSI). The type of multiplexing is for multiplexing the RMSI with a synchronization signal (SS) block. The base station generates an indicator that signals the type of multiplexing and the periodicity. In another aspect, a user equipment (UE) identifies the indicator and determines the type of multiplexing and the periodicity based on the indicator. The UE processes the transmission of RMSI based on the type of multiplexing and the periodicity. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Patent number: 11356299
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a transmitting device may send transmissions using a first numerology for a first type of user equipment (UE). The transmitting device may partition a stream of modulated data symbol tones into one or more contiguous subsets of modulated data symbol tones that result in a roughly frequency-flat channel for a second type of UE. The transmitting device may then perform precoding on individual subsets of the one or more contiguous subsets of modulated data symbol tones, and may insert a frequency-domain cyclic prefix, cyclic postfix, or guard interval after each precoded subset. Thus, the first type of UE may communicate using the first numerology and the second type of UE may communicate using the first numerology but with the frequency-domain cyclic prefixes to address doppler spread experienced by the second type of UE.
