  • Patent number: 11973521
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device in a wireless communication system may include a Power Amplifier (PA) for a first frequency band, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for a second frequency band at least partially overlapping a frequency band which is twice the first frequency band, and an impedance tuner which is in a first impedance state or a second impedance state under the control of the processor. The PA and the impedance tuner may be electrically coupled. A harmonic output level of the PA in the first impedance state may be greater than a harmonic output level of the PA in the second impedance state. The processor may be configured to control the impedance tuner to be in the second impedance state when communication is performed both in the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and control the impedance tuner to be in the first impedance state when communication is performed only in the first frequency band.

  • Patent number: 11962437
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a set of observed frequency-domain channel responses is filtered to remove noise or distortions that are not related to changes in the physical environment. In some aspects, for each frequency-domain channel response, a time-domain channel response is generated based on the frequency-domain channel response; and a filtered time-domain channel response is generated based on a constraint applied to the time-domain channel response. Additionally, a reconstructed frequency-domain channel response is generated based on the filtered time-domain channel response. An error signal is also generated, and a determination is made as to whether the error signal satisfies a criterion. The error signal can be indicative of a difference between the frequency-domain channel response and the reconstructed frequency-domain channel response. In response to each of the error signals satisfying the criterion, motion of an object in a space is detected based on the set of frequency-domain channel responses.

  • Patent number: 11901645
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically adjust the number of elements active within a neighboring base station in order to reduce the back lobe overlap and thus reduce the interference caused by such an overlap. User devices assigned to communicate with an antenna array are monitored to determine if they are experiencing a decreased level of performance which may be caused by an overlapping back lobe from a neighboring cell site. If the user device's performance falls below a threshold value, the gain associated with the neighboring cell site is dynamically reduced in order to reduce the back lobe overlap.

  • Patent number: 11894964
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for generating a secure long training field (LTF). In some implementations, the secure LTF may include a randomized bit sequence that is difficult, if not impossible, to replicate by any device other than the transmitting device and the intended receiving device. For example, the transmitting device may use a block cipher or stream cipher to generate a pseudorandom bit sequence and may select a subset of bits of the pseudorandom bit sequence to be mapped to a sequence of modulation symbols representing an LTF symbol of the secure LTF. More specifically, each of the modulation symbols is mapped to a respective one of a number of subcarriers spanning a bandwidth of the secure LTF. The transmitting device may further transmit a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) that includes the secure LTF to the receiving device.
