  • Patent number: 11026004
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for unified high-bandwidth, low-latency data services. In one embodiment, a network architecture having service delivery over at least portions of extant infrastructure (e.g., a hybrid fiber coaxial infrastructure) is disclosed, which includes standards-compliant ultra-low latency and high data rate services (e.g., 5G NR services) via a common service provider. In one variant, parallel MIMO data streams supported by 3GPP 5G NR are shifted in frequency before being injected into the single coaxial cable feeder, so that frequency diversity (instead of spatial diversity) is leveraged to achieve the maximum total carrier bandwidth that 3GPP 5G NR chipsets. Intermediate Frequencies (IF) are transmitted over the media in one implementation, (i.e., instead of higher frequencies), and block-conversion to RF carrier frequency is employed subsequently in the enhanced consumer premises equipment (CPEe) for 3GPP band-compliant interoperability with the 3GPP 5G NR chipset in the CPEe.

  • Patent number: 11024038
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for allowing a motion-detecting system to distinguish and/or mask motion that originates from a display screen. One method includes: capturing, by a computing device associated with a motion detector, an image of a field of view of the motion detector. The computing device may determine, based on object recognition, one or more candidate display areas within the image of the field of view. Based on the determined candidate display areas within the image, the computing device may generate a mask corresponding to the field of view. The computing device may exclude, from motion detection, motion occurring within the mask of the field of view.

  • Patent number: 11025470
    Abstract: A method of encoding data includes identifying multiple complex number pairs of a data vector and generating a transformed data vector by applying a non-linear transformation to each complex number pair from the multiple complex number pairs. The non-linear transformation includes modifying a phase of a first complex number from each complex number pair. The phase modification is based on a value associated with a second complex number from each complex number pair. A signal representing the transformed data vector is sent to multiple transmitters for transmission to multiple receivers. A signal representing the non-linear transformation is sent to a compute device for transmission of the non-linear transformation to the multiple receivers prior to transmission of the signal representing the transformed data vector from the multiple transmitters to the multiple receivers, for recovery of the data vector at the multiple receivers.

  • Publication number: 20210159950
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first communication device with multiple antennas, operably coupled to a processor and configured to access a codebook of transformation matrices. The processor generates a set of symbols based on an incoming data, and applies a permutation to each of the symbols to produce a set of permuted symbols. The processor transforms each of the permuted symbols based on at least one primitive transformation matrix, to produce a set of transformed symbols. The processor applies, to each of the transformed symbols, a precode matrix selected from the codebook of transformation matrices to produce a set of precoded symbols. The codebook of transformation matrices is accessible to a second communication device. The processor sends a signal to cause transmission, to the second communication device, of multiple signals, each representing a precoded symbol from the set of precoded symbols, each of the signals transmitted using a unique antenna from the plurality of antennas.
