Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for restricting an uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) assignment based on fading, battery data, or location data associated with a user device in an mmWave system. Fading data, location data, or battery data is received from one or more user devices. Based on the received data, a determination is made using the data received (e.g., determining the battery data of the user device is below a threshold or determining the location of the user device). In response, the assignment of the user device to an uplink MIMO layer of available MIMO layers is restricted. The restricted uplink MIMO layer is a higher MIMO layer than another MIMO layer of the available MIMO layers. In response to restricting the assignment, the user device may be assigned to an available MIMO layer that is a lower MIMO layer than the restricted MIMO layer.

Abstract: A DC conductive, low RF/microwave loss titanium oxide ceramic provides, at room temperature, a bulk DC resistivity of less than 1×1011 ohm-meters and an RF loss tangent of less than 2×10?4 at 7.5 GHz and less than 2×10?5 at 650 MHz. The resistivity is reduced by oxygen vacancies and associated Ti3+ and/or Ti4+ centers created by sintering in an atmosphere containing only between 0.01% and 0.1% oxygen. The reduced resistivity prevents DC charge buildup, while the low loss tangent provides good RF/microwave transparency and low losses. The ceramic is suitable for forming RF windows, electron gun cathode insulators, dielectrics, and other components. An exemplary Mg2TiO4—MgTiO3 embodiment includes mixing, grinding, pre-sintering in air, and pressing 99.95% pure MgO and TiO2 powders, re-sintering in air at 1400° C.-1500° C. to reduce porosity, and sintering at 1350° C.-1450° C. for 4 hours in an 0.05% oxygen and 99.05% nitrogen atmosphere.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for securing sensitive data for transaction requests using tokenization and encryption. A secure transfer system secures sensitive information of transaction requests. The secure transfer system may receive a transaction request file and generate a modified transaction request file by tokenizing values in the received file. For each transaction request in the file, the system may store a representation of the untokenized values in a datastore in conjunction with an identifier of the transaction request. This identifier may be generated from the tokenized values. The secure transfer system may use the identifier to query the datastore for the representation of the untokenized values. The system may decrypt encrypted values in the representation to generate a transaction request file of detokenized values, which may be provided to an automated clearing house to fulfill the transaction requests.

Abstract: Enhanced phase-noise mitigation is possible at low-to-no cost. Communication at the high frequencies envisioned for late 5G and 6G will require much better phase-noise control than current frequency bands, because the tight margins will result in excessive phase faults and greatly reduced throughput. The disclosed examples show how to use two modulation schemes to provide the best phase margins at the final step. For example, the message can be initially modulated in classical amplitude-phase modulation as transmitted, but is received and processed using convenient QAM orthogonal components. Then the receiver can convert the results back to the amplitude-phase modulation scheme analytically, and can finally demodulate using calibrated amplitude and phase levels derived from a proximate demodulation reference.
