    Abstract: Introduced here is at least one technique to better estimate interference at a receiver. The technique includes receiving a plurality of reference signals, which each have information indicative of noise. Thus, the technique further includes, for each reference signal, determining a noise estimation and determining a distance metric and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of the noise estimation.

  • Patent number: 11894899
    Abstract: A hybrid beamforming device utilizes analog beamformers (ABF) and digital beamformers (DBF) to produce a desired radio frequency radiation pattern having one or more lobes pointing in particular directions. A set of directions, such as each pointing toward a different candidate area of the sky, are processed to determine a coarse direction. ABF beam coefficients are determined based on the coarse direction. DBF beam coefficients are determined based on the directions in the set of directions, providing more precise directionality in the pattern. The ABF beam coefficients may be sent to the ABFs at a first cadence, such as every second. The DBF beam coefficients may be sent to the DBFs at a second cadence that is faster than the first cadence, such as every millisecond. This facilitates rapid scanning of different precision directions, such as of different portions of the sky to receive a broadcast transmission from a satellite.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices to reduce the channel estimation overhead by collecting data from many UEs and building a location-based mathematical model are disclosed. During building of the model, a reference signal is used to collect location- and signal-related data from connected UEs. Once the model is successfully built, it is then transmitted and/or downloaded to each new UE that connects to the base station. The UEs and/or the base stations then use this model to determine their own transmission parameter values. The UEs also report their location to the base stations, which use the model to estimate channel conditions and adapt transmission parameters for themselves.
