  • Patent number: 12133103
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic channel representations are described. Initially a sensing receiver receives a sensing transmission. The sensing receiver then generates a sensing measurement based on the sensing transmission. Thereafter, the sensing receiver generates a channel representation information of a propagation channel between the sensing receiver and a sensing transmitter based on the sensing measurement. The sensing receiver then obtains a sensing imprint representing a steady-state propagation channel between the sensing receiver and the sensing transmitter. Further, the sensing receiver compares the channel representation information to the sensing imprint and identifies a difference between the channel representation information and the sensing imprint. The sensing receiver may further send the channel representation information to a sensing algorithm manager.

  • Patent number: 12132682
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A station (STA) may receive a null data packet (NDP) on a plurality of subcarriers, and the STA may generate a channel state information (CSI) matrix for each subcarrier of the plurality of subcarriers. After generating a CSI matrix for a subcarrier, such as at least one subcarrier, the STA may scale each value in the CSI matrix using a power-of-two value to minimize complexity. Specifically, instead of scaling each value in the CSI matrix to a value between zero and one using divisions (for example, which may be computationally expensive), the STA may use shifting to scale each value in the CSI matrix. The STA may then quantize the scaled values in the CSI matrix for reporting, and the STA may transmit the quantized, scaled values in the CSI matrix in a CSI report.
