  • Patent number: 11902078
    Abstract: Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR. In addition, ranges within which the constellation points of a capacity optimized constellation can be perturbed and are still likely to achieve a given percentage of the optimal capacity increase compared to a constellation that maximizes dmin, are also described. Capacity measures that are used in the selection of the location of constellation points include, but are not limited to, parallel decode (PD) capacity and joint capacity.

  • Patent number: 11817924
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit capability information to the network indicating its coherence capability for transmitting multiple layers on a single antenna port. In some cases, the indicated capability information may actually be less than the actual capability of the UE, but may indicate which transmission precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) indexes are valid, such that the UE is not expected to transmit complex waveforms resulting from too many layers per antenna port. In some examples, the UE may indicate, in the capability information, a threshold number of layers per antenna port it can support. In some examples, the UE may indicate its coherence capability on a per-rank basis. In some examples, the UE may be capable of supporting up to 8 layers per antenna port. In some cases, codebooks may be restricted to support 8 layer transmissions.
