Abstract: A system for interference mitigation through carrier aggregation may include one or more processors and a memory. The memory may include instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: provide data transmissions and control transmissions to a wireless device over a primary component carrier, determine that interference exists on the primary component carrier, and switch at least a portion of the data or control transmissions to a secondary component carrier in response to determining that the interference exists on the primary component carrier, while maintaining connectivity on the primary component carrier.

Abstract: A wireless communication device is implemented to include a communication interface and a processor. The processor is configured to process communications associated with the other wireless communication devices within the wireless communication system to determine one or more traffic characteristics of those communications as well as one or more class characteristics of the other wireless communication devices. The processor is configured to classify the communications into one or more access categories based on the one or more traffic characteristics and is configured to classify the other devices into one or more device class categories based on the one or more class characteristics. The processor is then configured to generate one or more channel access control signals based on these classifications. The communication interface of the device is configured to transmit the one or more channel access control signals to one or more of the other devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for performing acoustic echo cancellation with internal upmixing that allow for a more effective handling of acoustic echo cancellation of audio components that are provided via different channels. In an embodiment in which audio is played back using two loudspeakers, audio components that are panned equally among the loudspeakers form a “phantom center image.” Acoustic echo cancellation is performed by initially upmixing the different channels to internally create modified versions of these channels and a virtual channel representative of the phantom center image. Each of these channels is passed through a respective adaptive filter that is configured to estimate an acoustic echo produced by each respective channel. These estimates are then subtracted from the signal received from one or more microphones (or from a signal obtained by combining multiple microphone signals) to suppress or eliminate the acoustic echo.

Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking aging effect on battery impedance are provided. A first voltage associated with a first state of a battery, a second voltage associated with a second state of the battery, and an impedance of the battery are determined. A battery impedance table that is used for calculating a state of charge of the battery is updated using the determined impedance. Methods and systems for tracking state of health of a battery are also provided. Partial charge cycles of a received battery are counted between a first charge event and a second charge event of the battery. State of health data of the batter is tracked, and a new state of health estimation is calculated based on the state of health data if the counted partial charge cycles of the battery has a count value that has a predetermined relationship with a predetermined count threshold.

Abstract: A method for turning a multi-channel link into a power saving mode may include detecting one or more events including a drop in a data throughput of the multi-channel link. In response to the detection of one or more events, data communication through one or more channels of the multi-channel link may be transferred to one or more other channels. The characteristics of the one or more channels may be adjusted to achieve power saving. Data communication through the one or more channels may be resumed at a reduced rate. Some of the one or more other channels of the multi-channel link may be configured to operate in a low-power or shut-down mode while the channels with adjusted characteristics are communicating data at the reduced rate.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for determining an EIRP constraint for a data stream based on the direction that a beam carrying the data stream is to be radiated by an array of antennas rather than using a fixed EIRP constraint for all such beams. The system and method can use the direction the beam is to be radiated to determine a distance between the array of antennas and the closest point (or location) in which a human being can potentially be impacted by the radiated beam. For larger distances, the EIRP constraint can be adjusted upward, allowing for higher transmit power levels. Conversely, for comparatively smaller distances, the EIRP constraint can be adjusted downward, allowing for lower transmit power levels.

Abstract: A method for providing hardware mandatory access control (MAC) may include coupling an input filter to a hardware core. The input filter may receive one or more labeled objects and may qualify the labeled objects based on a first label associated with each of the labeled objects. The input filter may strip the first label from each of the labeled objects to provide one or more input objects. The hardware core may receive the one or more input objects and may provide one or more output objects. An output filter may be coupled to the hardware core. The output filter may receive the one or more output objects and may associate to each of the one or more output objects a second label. Operations of the input filter and the output filter may be coordinated by a label manager.

In another embodiment, beamforming weight vectors to enable a multi-symbol spatial rate can be learned by the first transceiver.

Abstract: A switch arrangement is described which enable the design of a flexible front end allowing many individual and combinations of frequency band allocations to share a single antenna simultaneously. An apparatus using the switch arrangement is also described. The switch arrangement provides a single pole switch for each set of band specific filtering. The band specific filtering is connected to the pole of a respective single pole switch. The single pole switch has contact points enabling connection to of the filtering to an antenna switch both with and without a frequency selective component in the signal path. The frequency selective component allows sharing of the antenna by two or more frequency band allocations to enable simultaneous use of different radio access technologies, MIMO or Carrier Aggregation through a single antenna. When not required the frequency selective component can be switched out of the signal path to reduce insertion loss.

The common node of the first transformer winding is configured to receive a supply voltage.

Abstract: A system forwards congestion management messages to a source host updating the source address in the management message. The system may determine that the congestion management message was triggered responsive to an initial communication that was previously forwarded by the system. The system may use header translation within a single addressing scheme and/or may translate the congestion management message into a different type to support forwarding to the source of the initial communication. The system may use portions of the payload of the congestion management message to determine the source of the initial communication and to derive a different header for the translated congestion management message.

Abstract: A network-displaced direct storage architecture transports storage commands over a network interface. In one implementation, the architecture maps, at hosts, block storage commands to remote direct memory access operations (e.g., over converged Ethernet). The mapped operations are communicated across the network to a network storage appliance. At the network storage appliance, network termination receives the mapped commands, extracts the operation and data, and passes the operation and data to a storage device that implements the operation on a memory.
