Patent number: 11824579Abstract: A chirp spread spectrum (CSS) receiver may reject, based on multiple data alignment chirps that includes an attribute identifier that is a mismatch to one or more preconfigured identifiers, a message early and before fully receiving/decoding the message.

Patent number: 11777547Abstract: To provide improved phase noise tolerance and improved identification of certain fault types, a modulation/demodulation procedure is disclosed for 5G and 6G. The transmitter can modulate a message according to the amplitude and phase of the overall waveform to be emitted, modulated according to predetermined amplitude and phase levels of the modulation scheme.

Patent number: 11757685Abstract: An information handling system includes a high-speed data communication link and a processor. The link includes lanes that each includes a transmitter with an equalization setting and a receiver.
