  • Patent number: 12028131
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to radio network communication. In one of its aspects, the present disclosure relates to a method, performed by a first APU, for sequential transmit precoding in a radio stripe system. The system comprises at least two APUs connected 5 in series from a CPU and serves at least two UEs. According to the method, channel estimates for channels to the served UEs are obtained and based on these, a precoding filter is determined. The precoding filter is going to be applied to signals that are to be transmitted from the first APU to the UEs. Thereafter, based on the determined precoding filter and the obtained channel estimates, effective precoded channels for the 0 signals to the UEs are determined. These represent the effective channel created after the precoding filter being applied to each channel for the UEs. The effective precoded channels are transmitted to at least one subsequent second APU.

  • Patent number: 11997415
    Abstract: Digital or analog samples are sent from a video source to a video storage subsystem that encodes the samples into analog levels, stores the analog levels for a period of time, decodes the analog levels back into digital samples and then sends the digital samples to a video sink for display, N samples are encoded into L analog levels for storage. The storage subsystem may be located at the video source, at the video sink, or anywhere in between the two. The storage subsystem may be located on an electromagnetic pathway over which the L encoded analog levels are transmitted from a video source as an analog signal. The L encoded analog levels are written to storage and then later read from storage and retransmitted over the electromagnetic pathway toward a video sink. The storage subsystem may also be integrated with a transmitter that encodes the samples into analog levels for storage or may be integrated with a receiver that stores the analog levels and then decodes the analog levels back into samples.

  • Patent number: 11990922
    Abstract: The technology relates to bandwidth constrained communication systems with neural network based detection. In some embodiments, a bandwidth constrained equalized transport (BCET) communication system comprises: a transmitter comprising an error control code encoder, a pulse-shaping filter, and a first interleaver; a communication channel; and a receiver comprising a neural network processing block that processes a received signal. The error control code encoder can append redundant information onto the signal. The pulse-shaping filter can intentionally introduce memory into the signal in the form of inter-symbol interference. The first interleaver can change a temporal order of the symbols in the signal. The error control code encoder can be a low-density parity-check (LDPC) error control code encoder. The neural network can be trained with positive mappings between transmitted and decoded training signals, or negative mappings between training signals and a null space of an LDPC generation matrix.

  • Patent number: 11984941
    Abstract: Universal Serial Bus (USB) repeater circuits and methods of operating the same for communicating data signals from a first pair of data terminals to a second pair of data terminals of the repeater. In a first channel, an amplifier stage in a receiver amplifies a differential signal received at the first pair of data terminals to generate a differential signal at first and second output nodes of the receiver, and a transmitting circuit transmits a differential signal at the second pair of data terminals responsive to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. The receiver includes a hysteresis stage that receives an offset in opposition to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11984942
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for power line control of devices. The system operates in two modes. In mode one, the system operates on an open loop architecture with a controller generating a sinusoidal wave using a crystal oscillator. Control information is added to the sinusoidal wave by alternating the output of two phase shifted waves which have the same frequency and amplitude to form a control signal. The resulting control signal is sent on a power line. The control signal is received using a crystal filter, decoded and converted to executable instructions for the devices and data parameters for sensors. In mode two, the system operates on a hybrid open loop/closed loop architecture where devices are jointly controlled by the controller and the sensors.
