  • Patent number: 10447370
    Abstract: A new radio (NR) capable user equipment (UE) to determine whether to skip cellular measurements using s-Measure configuration based on measurements of a synchronization signal (SS) block (SSB) and/or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) using an s-Measure configuration. For example, an s-Measure configuration can include a reference signal received power (RSRP) value and an indicator whether to apply the value to an NR SS block or a CSI-RS. If the value meets or exceeds the measurement for the indicated signal measurement, the s-Measure is satisfied. For example, in an embodiment, the network configures a single s-Measure configuration (e.g., either an NR SS s-Measure configuration or a CSI-RS s-Measure configuration), which when satisfied the UE does not perform further measurements.

  • Patent number: 10425891
    Abstract: Power management for a remote antenna unit(s) (RAUs) in a distributed antenna system. Power can be managed for an RAU configured to power modules and devices that may require more power to operate than power available to the RAU. For example, the RAU may be configured to include power-consuming RAU modules to provide distributed antenna system-related services. As another example, the RAU may be configured to provide power through powered ports in the RAU to power-consuming devices. Depending on the configuration of the RAU, the power-consuming RAU modules and/or power-consuming devices may demand more power than is available at the RAU. In this instance, the power available at the RAU can be distributed to the power-consuming modules and devices based on the priority of services desired to be provided by the RAU.

  • Patent number: 10411935
    Abstract: A method for reducing a peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal. A first signal in the frequency domain is processed to generate a second signal by performing a modular permutation on the first signal according to a modular permutation index, and/or by performing a cyclic shift on the first signal according to a cyclic shift parameter. The second signal is then mapped to a number of tones, and transformed into a time-domain signal for transmission. The modular permutation index and/or the cyclic shift parameter are selected so that the signal for transmission has a PAPR that satisfies a predefined PAPR criteria.

  • Patent number: 10404301
    Abstract: A method for limiting impulse noise in a radio signal, in particular in the FM band, that is multiplexed and intended to be received by an FM receiver that is for example located on-board a vehicle. The method includes detecting impulse noise by way of a calculation of a score IND, for a sequence of successive samples of the demodulated radio signal FM MPX, while taking into the account, on the one hand, a capacity to detect a drop in the modulus of the ratio I/Q, which is dependent in particular on data derived from a sensor level, and, on the other hand, a capacity to detect high-frequency noise, which in particular depends on data derived from a sensor modulation.
