Patent number: 11901931Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may filter leaked power from a signal to accurately perform antenna compensation operations (e.g., apply a transmit gain, perform cable loss measurements) using valid power. A switch at the UE may leak power to an antenna for a transmission, and the UE may use a dynamic filtering algorithm to determine whether a pulse power of a detected signal is leaked or valid. The dynamic filtering algorithm may be able to account for variations in leaked power values, as leaked power may increase or decrease proportionally to intended power (e.g., from which power was leaked). By determining whether pulse power is leaked or valid, the UE may be able to filter out the leaked power and accurately perform antenna compensation operations such as applying a transmit gain for a transmission, performing a cable loss measurement, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Lei Sun, Sean Vincent Maschue, Cheng Tan, Bruce Charles Fischer, Jr., Brian French

Patent number: 11895303Abstract: A system and method for implementing a distributed source coding quantization scheme is provided. In one example, two independent but statistically correlated data sources can be asymmetrically compressed so that one source is compressed at a higher ratio than the other. The resulting signals are transmitted and decoded by a receiver. The highly compressed source can utilize the non-highly compressed source as side information so as to minimize the compression loss associated with the higher compression ratio. A conditional codebook can be created that not only depends on the highly compressed quantizer, but also depends on the quantized symbol received from the non-highly compressed data source.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: The MITRE CorporationInventors: Robert M.

Patent number: 11864140Abstract: A system and method are provided for enhanced multi-way time transfer for time synchronization between at least one slave node and one master node. A slave node sends a first message to the master node to launch a time synchronization between the slave node and the master node. Upon receiving the first message, the master node adds a receiving time on a master clock to the first message to form a second message. The master node sends the second message back to the slave node and the slave node adds a receiving time on the slave clock to the second message to form an updated message. The slave node performs a time adjustment to the slave clock based on the updated message, thereby synchronizing time between the slave node and the master node.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: INTELLIGENT FUSION TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Dan Shen, Genshe Chen, Khanh Pham, Erik Blasch
