  • Patent number: 12689999
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can mitigate interference in a wireless network. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can identify a mode of operation of a base station (BS) and can select a time advance (TA) that is associated with the identified mode of operation. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can advance signals on an uplink (UL) by the TA to cause the signals on the UL to be time aligned with other signals from other UEs on the UL at the BS to mitigate inter carrier interference (ICI) at the BS. Otherwise, these systems, methods, and apparatuses can advance the signals on the UL by the TA to cause the signals on the UL to be time aligned with signals from the BS on the DL at a victim UE within the wireless network to mitigate cross link interference (CLI) at the victim UE.

  • Patent number: 12627400
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, devices may implement multiple autoencoders for communications. A wireless device may select an autoencoder to use for communications based on a size parameter for a message. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a grant from a base station indicating a size parameter for communicating a message. The UE and base station may determine, from a set of neural network (NN)-based encoders configured at the UE, an NN-based encoder corresponding to the size parameter. The UE may communicate the message with the base station according to the grant and based on the determined NN-encoder. In some examples, the UE and base station may determine a number of resource segments from a set of resources allocated for communication and may determine respective NN-based encoders for the different resource segments.

  • Patent number: 12532283
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes two wireless communication apparatuses. One of the wireless communication apparatuses wirelessly transmits a signal obtained by up-converting a clock signal. The other of the wireless communication apparatuses generates a clock signal based on a received signal and feeds back a signal obtained by up-converting the generated clock signal to the one wireless communication apparatus. The one wireless communication apparatus generates a clock signal based on the fed-back signal, detects a phase change due to a fluctuation in a transmission path characteristic based on the generated clock signal, and adjusts a phase of a reference clock signal based on the detected phase change.
