  • Patent number: 11777540
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for correcting distortion of radio signals A transmit radio signal corresponding to an output of a transmitting radio signal processing system is obtained. A pre-distorted radio signal is then generated by processing the transmit radio signal using a nonlinear pre-distortion machine learning model. The nonlinear pre-distortion machine learning model includes model parameters and at least one nonlinear function to correct radio signal distortion or interference. A transmit output radio signal is obtained by processing the pre-distorted radio signal through the transmitting radio signal processing system. The transmit output radio signal is then transmitted to one or more radio receivers.

  • Patent number: 11581965
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for processing communications signals using a machine-learning network are disclosed. In some implementations, pilot and data information are generated for a data signal. The data signal is generated using a modulator for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The data signal is transmitted through a communications channel to obtain modified pilot and data information. The modified pilot and data information are processed using a machine-learning network. A prediction corresponding to the data signal transmitted through the communications channel is obtained from the machine-learning network. The prediction is compared to a set of ground truths and updates, based on a corresponding error term, are applied to the machine-learning network.

  • Patent number: 11284277
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for characterizing radio propagation channels. One method includes receiving, at a first modem, a first unit of communication over a radio frequency (RF) communication path from a second modem, wherein the first modem and the second modem process information for RF communications. The first modem identifies fields in the first unit of communication, the fields used to analyze the RF communication path. The first modem extracts data from the fields. The first modem accesses a channel model for approximating a channel representative of the RF communication path from the first modem to the second modem, wherein the channel model includes machine learning models. The first modem trains the channel model using the extracted data. The first modem applies the trained channel model to simulate a set of channel effects associated with the communication path.

  • Patent number: 11259260
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training and deploying machine-learned communication over RF channels. In some implementations, information is obtained. An encoder network is used to process the information and generate a first RF signal. The first RF signal is transmitted through a first channel. A second RF signal is determined that represents the first RF signal having been altered by transmission through the first channel. Transmission of the first RF signal is simulated over a second channel implementing a machine-learning network, the second channel representing a model of the first channel. A simulated RF signal that represents the first RF signal having been altered by simulated transmission through the second channel is determined. A measure of distance between the second RF signal and the simulated RF signal is calculated. The machine-learning network is updated using the measure of distance.
