  • Patent number: 11258474
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for reducing an SAR value of a mobile terminal, a storage medium and a mobile terminal. The method comprises: detecting and comparing signal strengths of an upper antenna and a lower antenna of the mobile terminal in real time during a call; and when it is detected that the signal strength of the upper antenna of the mobile terminal is greater than that of the lower antenna, switching the communication work of the mobile terminal to the upper antenna, and reducing the radio frequency transmitting power of the upper antenna. By adoption of the scheme, the SAR value of the mobile terminal can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11258487
    Abstract: A method includes generating a set of symbols based on an incoming data vector. The set of symbols includes K symbols, K being a positive integer. A first transformation matrix including an equiangular tight frame (ETF) transformation or a nearly equiangular tight frame (NETF) transformation is generated, having dimensions N×K, where N is a positive integer and has a value less than K. A second transformation matrix having dimensions K×K is generated based on the first transformation matrix. A third transformation matrix having dimensions K×K is generated by performing a series of unitary transformations on the second transformation matrix. A first data vector is transformed into a second data vector having a length N based on the third transformation matrix and the set of symbols. A signal representing the second data vector is sent to a transmitter for transmission of a signal representing the second data vector to a receiver.

  • Publication number: 20220052763
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) having a resistivity-engineered substrate to suppress radio-frequency (RF) common-mode signals. In some embodiments, a semiconductor substrate is provided that comprises two portions having different levels of resistivity to provide both suppression of common mode signals, and reduction of RF absorption loss for non-common mode RF signals. In such embodiments, a bottom portion of the semiconductor substrate has a low resistivity to suppress common mode via RF absorption, while a top portion of the semiconductor substrate that is adjacent to conductors in the IC has a high resistivity to reduce RF loss.

  • Publication number: 20220050211
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing dilution of precision (DOP) forecasts for GNSS navigation and optionally degree of confidence, for routing of vehicles or alerting humans in vehicles: accessing a 3D map of an area including structure solids and generating cuboids in spaces not contained in the structure solids, and iteratively over time increments, calculating GNSS satellites visible from the cuboids using the 3D map and, using at least the calculated visibility, determining a DOP forecast for GNSS signals observable in the cuboids at the time increments. The disclosed method also includes compressing the calculated DOP forecast spatially and temporally, and distributing the compressed DOP forecast via a content delivery network (CDN), responsive to queries from requestors to an API of the CDN, whereby the requestors' systems can take into account the DOP forecast for routing the vehicles or alerting the humans in the vehicles to a predicted navigation impairment.
