  • Publication number: 20250141502
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a machine learning (ML)-based receiver that is invariant to the number of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers it processes. The ML-based receiver is configured, for each MIMO layer, to obtain a set of intermediate estimates by performing an equalization operation based on channel information and an array of symbols received over the MIMO layers, and to obtain a set of final estimates for the array of symbols by using a layer-associated block of a ML model. Each layer-associated block of the ML model is configured to receive the set of intermediate estimates as input data and output the set of final estimates. The layer-associated blocks are configured operate in parallel and exchange weights between each other during a training phase. In some embodiments, the layer-associated blocks may be further configured to exchange the input data between each other during the training and inference phases.

  • Patent number: 12287395
    Abstract: A base station selects, in response to a location request for a UE, RIS(s) to use for positioning purposes for the UE. The base station performs a process with the selected RISs to determine information used to configure the UE with RS configuration for using the selected RIS(s) for the positioning purposes. The base station sends the RS configuration to the UE. An RIS receives signals including RSs to be used for positioning purposes for a UE. The RIS time stamps the signals with the RSs and reflects signals including the RSs and corresponding time stamps. A UE receives a reference signal configuration for using RIS(s), receives RSs based on the configuration, and receives signals comprising RSs that have been reflected from the RIS(s). The UE performs timing estimates based on the received signals and sends indication of the timing estimates toward the base station.

  • Publication number: 20250130096
    Abstract: Control of fiber sensing is provided for optical fiber networks. A Bidirectional Sensing Control Devices (BSCD) is placed at each of one or more selected locations in the network. The BSCD uses a directionally selective optical coupling element to separate the two propagation directions of a bidirectional fiber, so that on the side of the coupling element distal to the bidirectional fiber, one unidirectional fiber will carry transmissions inbound to the coupling element, and another unidirectional fiber will carry transmissions outbound from the coupling element. Sensing control can then be effectuated on one or both of the unidirectional fibers without interrupting communication in either propagation transmission direction.
