  • Patent number: 12244334
    Abstract: Reliable communications is a central goal of 5G and 6G. However, due to signal fading at high frequencies and interference due to crowding, message faults continue to be a problem. Disclosed are methods for base station and user devices to adjust the modulation scheme according to the types of faults received, including amplitude faults (incorrectly demodulated amplitude levels) and phase faults (incorrectly demodulated phase levels), among others. The base station can select a more suitable modulation scheme based on the types of faults observed by user devices, such as modulation schemes with more or fewer amplitude levels and phase levels. In some versions, the number of amplitude levels is different from the number of phase levels, to combat specific fault problems.

  • Patent number: 12212353
    Abstract: As solution for predistorting a signal is presented. The solution comprises receiving (600) as an input a signal comprising at least two signal components on a different band, sampling (602) the input signal comprising linear terms, composite non-linear terms causing intermodulation outside Nyquist band of the input signal and further non-linear terms causing intermodulation inside the Nyquist band, the further non-linear terms comprising multi-band terms.

  • Patent number: 12199663
    Abstract: Ultra-wide band frequencies used for extended reality (XR) services operate as unlicensed spectrum, which can result in unexpected interference. Although some link adaptation procedures can be used, uncertain link quality can result in sub-optimal utilization of spectrum resources, which may result in poor performance of an XR service. Some aspects described herein enable use of a fixed quantity of re-transmissions of data for an XR frame, with each of the re-transmissions having different XR frame qualities or different quantities of parity bits. The XR device may transmit a feedback message indicating whether the first transmission was successful and may receive a second transmission with additional data for the XR frame. In this way, the XR device can ensure a more efficient use of network resources.

  • Patent number: 12143151
    Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and non-transitory media facilitate image rejection for a radio frequency signal with a wideband carrier. Wideband signals from a device may be analyzed, the wideband signals corresponding to a wideband channel. Each wideband signal may correspond to a sinusoidal electrical signal with IQ amplitude and phase modulation. An in-phase component (I) of a wideband signal may be determined. A quadrature component (Q) of the wideband signal may be determined. Based on the determined I and Q, a wideband IQ imbalance may be determined. A scalar error based on the wideband IQ imbalance may be obtained. The scalar error may be mapped to a vector error plane. Orthogonal error vector points that are based on the mapping may be determined. The wideband IQ imbalance of the device may be compensated based on adjusting an IQ setting of the device with the orthogonal error vector points.

  • Patent number: 12132540
    Abstract: Provided are M signal processors that respectively generate modulated signals for M reception apparatuses (where M is an integer equal to 2 or greater), a multiplexing signal processor, and N antenna sections (where N is an integer equal to 1 or greater). When transmitting multiple streams, each of the M signal processors generates two mapped signals, generates first and second precoded signals by precoding the two mapped signals, periodically changes the phase of signal points in the IQ plane with respect to the second precoded signal, outputs the phase-changed signal, and outputs the first precoded signal and the phase-changed second precoded signal as two modulated signals. When transmitting a single stream, each of the M signal processor outputs a single modulated signal. The multiplexing signal processor multiplexes the modulated signals output from the M signal processors, and generates N multiplexed signals. The N antenna sections respectively transmit the N multiplexed signals.
