  • Patent number: 11621752
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for protecting against transmit power violations in a radio unit (RU) of a disaggregated base station. For example, when a distributed unit (DU) provides frequency domain samples to the RU, the DU may set a reference input level that causes the RU scale a gain lineup to avoid saturation or sensitivity issues in a signal processing chain while ramping up to a required transmit power. Accordingly, to avoid signal saturation or clipping at the RU, the RU may monitor energy estimation measurements and take remedial action when a transmit power violation occurs. For example, the RU may provide one or more system alarms to the DU or prevent transmission over an air interface in cases where the energy estimation measurements fail to satisfy one or more thresholds.

  • Patent number: 11611457
    Abstract: A machine learning (ML) agent operates at a transmitter to optimize signals transmitted across a communications channel. A physical signal modifier modifies a physical layer signal prior to transmission as a function of a set of signal modification parameters to produce a modified physical layer signal. The ML agent parses a feedback signal from a receiver across the communications channel, and determines a present tuning status as a function of the signal modification parameters and the feedback signal. The ML agent generates subsequent signal modification parameters based on the present tuning status and a set of stored tuning statuses, thereby updating the physical signal modifier to generate a subsequent modified physical layer signal to be transmitted across the communications channel.
