Patent number: 11431423Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for calibrating an antenna array in a receiver. A training signal for calibrating the antenna array is injected into a data signal received on each receive path to generate combined signals on each receive path. The combined signals are equalized by respective equalizers. The coefficients of the equalizers are determined by comparing a feedback signal for each receive path with the equalized signal to estimate the impairment on each received path. The estimated impairment on each receive path is used to adapt the equalize coefficients for a respective equalizer to compensate for the impairment. After equalization, an estimate of the observed training signal on each receive path is subtracted from the equalized signal for the same receive path to generate estimates of the received data signals for demodulation and decoding.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2017Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Leonard Lightstone, Martin Da Silveira, Neil McGowan

Patent number: 11418373Abstract: A novel LPWAN technology includes a ZCNET node that transmit signals that occupy a very small fraction of the signal space, resulting in very low collision probabilities. ZCNET supports parallel root channels within a single frequency channel by using Zadoff-Chu (ZC) root sequences. The root channels do not severely interfere with each other, because the interference power is spread evenly over the entire signal space. ZCNET has its node randomly choose the transmission channel and range, while still achieving high packet receiving ratios such as 0.9 or above, because the load in each root channel is small.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: The Florida State University Research Foundation, Inc.Inventor: Zhenghao Zhang

Patent number: 11411983Abstract: An industrial asset may have monitoring nodes that generate current monitoring node values. An abnormality detection computer may determine that an abnormal monitoring node is currently being attacked or experiencing fault. A dynamic, resilient estimator constructs, using normal monitoring node values, a latent feature space (of lower dimensionality as compared to a temporal space) associated with latent features. The system also constructs, using normal monitoring node values, functions to project values into the latent feature space. Responsive to an indication that a node is currently being attacked or experiencing fault, the system may compute optimal values of the latent features to minimize a reconstruction error of the nodes not currently being attacked or experiencing a fault. The optimal values may then be projected back into the temporal space to provide estimated values and the current monitoring node values from the abnormal monitoring node are replaced with the estimated values.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Mustafa Tekin Dokucu, Subhrajit Roychowdhury, Olugbenga Anubi, Masoud Abbaszadeh, Justin Varkey John

Patent number: 11356461Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing integrity verified paths using only integrity validated pods of nodes. A network service mesh (NSM) associated with a first pod may locally generate a nonce and provide the nonce to the first pod, where the request includes a request for an attestation token. Using the nonce, the first pod may generate the attestation token and reply back to the NSM. The NSM may generate a second request for an attestation token and forward it to a NSE pod, where the request includes a second locally generated nonce generated by the NSM. The NSE pod may generate the second attestation token using the second nonce and reply back to the NSM. The NSM may then have the attestation tokens verified or validated by a certificate authority (CA) server. The NSM may thus instantiate an integrity verified path between the first pod and the NSE pod.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Nagendra Kumar Nainar, Carlos M.
