Patent number: 12273165Abstract: The described techniques may support multi-rank sidelink communications that may be reduced to single rank communications if failure to decode the multi-rank sidelink communications occurs. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a first message including first data using a first precoding vector applied for a first layer and a second precoding vector applied for a second layer. If the first message is not decoded successfully, the UE may transmit a second message including second data using a third precoding vector applied for the first layer and a fourth precoding vector applied for the second layer, where the second data is derived from the first data, the third precoding vector is derived from the second precoding vector, and the fourth precoding vector is derived from the first precoding vector. The second message may effectively reduce a rank of the first message when the channel is rank deficient.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Gideon Shlomo Kutz, Tal Oved, Amit Bar-Or Tillinger, Elad Meir

Patent number: 12170537Abstract: A radio frequency, RF, receiver circuit that is configured to simultaneously monitor a two or more different RF frequencies. The RF receiver circuit uses a sub-sampler to sub-sample an RF signal that is at any of the monitored RF frequencies, and the sub-sampled signal is then demodulated and a digital code that was encoded in the RF signal is recovered. The RF receiver circuit may be particularly low power, in part owing to using the same sub-sampler for each of the two or more monitored RF frequencies, and not relying on superheterodyning. Furthermore, monitoring two or more different RF frequencies simultaneously means that signals received on the monitored RF frequencies may be acted on very quickly. These characteristics make the RF receiver circuit particularly suitable for use in low-power wake-up receivers, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wake-up receivers.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Philip Eugene Quinlan, Joana Rochelle Ortiz Maramba, Catherine Francisco Andaya, Erwin Paul Ramos Santiago, Vernon H.
