Abstract: The present disclosure relates to uplink cooperative multi-User Equipment (UE) cooperative transmission such as Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission. Source data of a source UE that is to be transmitted via uplink cooperative transmission by multiple UEs, is transmitted to at least one cooperative UE over an SL. The source data is associated with an identifier for identifying the UE to the network equipment as a source of the source data. The multiple UEs transmit the source data and the identifier in an uplink direction to the network equipment. The network equipment receives the source data from the multiple UEs in a cooperative transmission such as cooperative MIMO transmission, and obtains the identifier for identifying the source UE as the source of the source data.

Abstract: A radio receiver of a radio communication system is configured to tune to a radio channel by generating a periodic signal, mixing the periodic signal with radio signals received from a radio transmission system and passing the mixed signal through a channel filter. The radio receiver receives, from the radio transmission system, an OFDM data signal modulated on a set of OFDM subcarriers within the tuned channel. The channel filter has a passband that is wider than the channel bandwidth of the tuned channel such that the filter passes i) said OFDM data signal, ii) an in-channel reference signal, and iii) an out-of-channel reference signal. The radio receiver comprises channel estimation logic configured to use both reference signals to calculate a channel estimate for an OFDM subcarrier within the tuned channel.

Abstract: Performing distributed Remote PHY scheduling operations. A low latency scheduler is disposed within or in proximity to a Remote PHY node. Upon identifying that a particular data flow qualifies for processing by the low latency scheduler, the low latency scheduler performs upstream Remote PHY scheduling operations for the particular data flow using a one or more dedicated channels that are designated as low latency channels. The Remote PHY upstream scheduling operations define when data may be transmitted by a Cable Modem (CM) to a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) Core. A centralized scheduler is also located at the CCAP Core. The centralized scheduler performs Remote PHY upstream scheduling operations for all data flows which have not been identified as qualifying for processing by the low latency scheduler.

Abstract: It is an objective of the current disclosure to design a novel communications system capable of offering improvement in channel capacity compared to current communications systems. To this end, the disclosure teaches how to add new information to a select number of Degrees of Freedom (DOF), through three design steps. All three steps aim to design the system such that the minimum required average received Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is reduced for a given desired capacity and for a given specified mask. The first design step identifies the select number of DOF required for achieving the desired capacity. The second design step enhances the contribution of the selected DOF by matching them to the specified mask. This step aims to have the transmitted signal comply with the specified mask. The third design step randomizes the DOF using a pseudo-random phase. This step aims to reduce the required average received SNR.

Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting beam weighting factors for a radio system include obtaining measurements of cross-polarization transfer functions between respective pairs of dual-polarized antenna elements in the antenna system and computing coupling values for the respective pairs and reflection coefficient values by numerically solving a system of equations in which a subset of the coupling values are set to zero and the measurements of the cross-polarization transfer functions of the respective pairs are a function of the coupling values for the respective pairs of the dual-polarized antenna elements and the reflection coefficient values. Correction factors are computed for the antenna elements based on the computed coupling values and reflection coefficients. Based on the respective correction factors, beam weighting factors are calculated for at least some of the antenna elements for a desired beam direction.

Abstract: Provided are a time domain channel prediction method and a time domain channel prediction system for an OFDM wireless communication system, which relate to the technical field of adaptive transmission in wireless communication. Frequency domain channel information is converted into time domain tap information by inverse Fourier transform. With respect to each time domain tap information, tap information prediction based on an extreme learning machine is realized, and finally predicted tap information is converted into frequency domain channel information by Fourier transform. To improve a generalization ability of a channel predictor, an output weight of the extreme learning machine is punished by a combination of l2 regularization and l1/2 regularization. The disclosure may provide satisfactory prediction performance and may output a sparse output weight, which reduces the requirement for memory storage. The disclosure ensures adaptive transmission and adaptive coding of wireless communication.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may utilize beamforming techniques to process wireless communications transmitted in millimeter wave (mmW) frequency ranges. In such cases, a user equipment (UE) may perform lattice reduction (LR)-based preprocessing for a received resource element (RE), which allows the UE to utilize demapping techniques (e.g., minimum mean square error (MMSE)-based demapping techniques or successive interference cancellation (SIC) demapping techniques) that are less computationally-complex than conventional demapping techniques (e.g., maximum likelihood (ML)-based demapping techniques) while providing a similar performance as conventional techniques. Further, due to mmW systems' robustness to time-dispersion, the UE may apply the same LR to multiple REs across multiple symbols in the time domain and across multiple sub-carriers in the frequency domain.
