  • Patent number: 11863359
    Abstract: Technologies to improve throughput in wireless multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and single-input-single-output (SISO) systems are described. A first device includes a baseband processor with an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) circuitry that uses a digital multi-carrier modulation scheme that defines a set of data subcarriers, a set of pilot subcarriers, and a direct current (DC) subcarrier to communicate data in a wireless channel between the first device and a second device. The baseband processor also includes subcarrier pre-equalization logic that receives, from the second device, feedback data indicative of a frequency selective fading characteristic of the wireless channel and adjusts a first amplitude value of a subset of the set of data subcarriers to a second amplitude value. Adjusting the first amplitude value to the second amplitude value reduces the frequency selective fading characteristic of the wireless channel.

  • Patent number: 11838750
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Wireless communications systems may employ one or more scheduling constraints to support efficient utilization of techniques for intra-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., intra-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing) as well as inter-device handling of overlapping scheduled uplink transmissions (e.g., inter-device dynamic resource cancelation and multiplexing). Scheduling constraints may define how a device may apply intra-device and inter-device multiplexing and cancelation rules for various scenarios. For example, a device may apply intra-UE cancelation rules before inter-device cancelation rules. In some examples, later-received grants or uplink preemption indications (ULPIs) may not change a device's previously established decision to drop an uplink transmission.

  • Patent number: 11825468
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) receiving a first transmission scheduling resources for a second transmission having a first priority. The UE may determine that one or more symbols of the second transmission are to be unused due to receipt of a cancellation indication or due to identifying a conflict, for example, with higher priority resources. Based on determining that the symbols are to be unused, the UE may determine that the base station will not reschedule the unused resources for another transmission, for example, having the first priority. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11799710
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for pre-compensation of downlink communication based on a transmission of a request for the pre-compensation from a user equipment (UE). For example, the UE may determine an impairment at the UE that has a greater severity (a greater impact on downlink communication) or is associated with a greater amount of resources for processing relative to a remainder of a set of impairments that is experienced at the UE and the UE may transmit a request for pre-compensation of the impairment by a base station. The base station may transmit feedback to the UE indicating a confirmation of pre-compensation for the impairment by the base station or to deferment of compensation for the impairment back to the UE. If the base station acknowledges pre-compensation for the impairment, the base station may pre-compensate a downlink transmission to the UE for the impairment.

  • Patent number: 11792757
    Abstract: A radio node may calculate one or more performance metrics based on measured satellite signals, which are associated with a global positioning system, or wireless signals that are associated with a cellular-telephone network. Then, the radio node may determine, based on the one or more performance metrics, whether the radio node is a synchronization master in a cluster of radio nodes. When the radio node is the synchronization master, the radio node may provide information intended for a computer specifying that the radio node is the synchronization master and the one or more performance metrics. In response, the radio node may receive a synchronization request associated with another radio node in the cluster. Furthermore, the radio node may provide the synchronization information intended for the other radio node, where the synchronization information specifies time, frequency, and phase synchronization for at least the cluster.

  • Patent number: 11792824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently allocating resources for multicast feedback from one or more user equipment (UEs) and efficiently retransmitting information in transport blocks to the one or more UEs. If a UE fails to decode one or more transport blocks of a set of transport blocks from a base station, the UE may report feedback, such as a negative acknowledgment (NACK), to the base station. The base station may receive the feedback from the UE and potentially from other UEs that failed to decode one or more transport blocks of the set of transport blocks, and the base station may multicast one or more outer-coded transport blocks to the UEs. Each of the outer-coded transport blocks may include a different combination (for example, a linear combination) of transport blocks of the set of transport blocks.

  • Patent number: 11785442
    Abstract: A process for managing network congestion uses crowd-sourced real-time information about current conditions in a network. The crowd-sourced real-time information may include information on a shared channel, such as a cell of a wireless network, produced by monitoring data sessions in the network and using mapping information that maps IP addresses of the data sessions to cell identifiers to associate measurements of the data sessions with corresponding cells. The measurements corresponding to a cell may be used to create and/or update a congestion profile for the cell, and the congestion profile may be used to select and set parameters of a congestion control algorithm. The congestion control algorithm may include an Initial Congestion Window Algorithm for controlling a congestion window.
