Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which compensates input data for I/Q imbalance or noise related thereto to generate compensated input data. In doing such the above compensation, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide converted input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN calculates an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the I/Q imbalance. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data is transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path is deactivated and the receiver stage receives an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

Abstract: 5G and especially 6G are susceptible to phase faults due to rapid phase fluctuations, usually in the local oscillator of the user device. Low-cost IoT applications that 6G is intended to serve may be impractical unless phase noise mitigation can be applied on each uplink and downlink message. Accordingly, a single-branch phase-tracking reference is disclosed occupying just a single resource element, in which one quadrature branch is transmitted with a predetermined maximum modulation amplitude, and the other branch has zero amplitude. The receiver can then quantify the phase noise (or the phase rotation angle) according to a ratio of the as-received branch amplitudes, and mitigate a concurrent message by de-rotating each message element by the same phase angle, thereby restoring high reliability at high frequencies at negligible cost.

Abstract: Systems and methods comprising: receiving a signal (S) having a first interfering signal component (FISC); generating a replicated SOI (RSOI); and iteratively performing a process to obtain residual errors for FISC. The process involves: modifying an amplitude of RSOI; obtaining a reference signal (RS) by removing RSOI with the modified amplitude from S; analyzing frequency of RS to obtain an estimated carrier frequency and an estimated symbol rate for FISC; generating a remaining signal by removing, from FRS, a signal having the estimated carrier frequency and symbol rate; and determining a residual error of the remaining signal. Parameters for FISC are then set equal to the estimated carrier frequency and symbol rate that are associated with a lowest residual error. The parameters may be further refined in accordance with another process which involves iteratively modifying a symbol rate of FISC. Yet another process may be performed to determine filter parameters.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a PIM correction circuit. In a base station, TX and RX RF changes, band pass filters, duplexers, and diplexers can have severe memory effects due to their sharp transition bandwidth from pass band to stop band. PIM interference, generated by the TX signals and reflected onto the RX RF chain will include these memory effects. These memory effects make PIM cancellation complex, requiring complicated computations and circuits. However, the embodiments herein use a PIM correction circuit that separates the memory effects of the TX and RX paths from the memory effects of PIM, thereby reducing PIM cancellation complexity and hardware implementation cost.
