The trajectory mapper accesses the signal trajectory sample memory to select a signal trajectory relative to the set of predetermined removed regions in the topological space based on the received modulation symbol sequence and produces a sequence of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) sample values at a specified sample rate in response to the selected signal trajectory, the I and Q sample values serving as a basis for an amplified radio frequency signal.

Abstract: A period is defined to execute the sequences (processes) of communication data acquisition, measuring communication quality, communication quality data acquisition, and channel change. Processing is controlled to execute each process within a time limit set for each process and execute all processes in one cycle. This avoids that a delayed sequence influences and delays other sequences and can suppress delays. If processing fails to finish a sequence, it will resume the same sequence in the next cycle. For communication stations sharing timeslots, there are provided offset periods differing in length before the start of carrier sense in the timeslots for these stations. Consequently, even under a condition in which packet collision may occur, the collision of packets can be avoided by detecting a packet sent to another station by carrier sense. Moreover, by controlling sending priority of packets in the send queue of the gateway, sending delay can be avoided.

Abstract: A method significantly reduces the average power for radio communication in a communication system, such as a system that has applications requiring low communication latency. The method may use a low power radio communication circuit (e.g., a non-heterodyne receiver) to wait for a communication request, taking advantage of the low power consumption of the radio communication circuit. Subsequent to receiving and validating the communication request, the communication system may switch to a more efficient—but higher power—communication circuit. Thus, effective communication is achieved without making undesirable tradeoffs, such as reduced sensitivity.

In such manner, a control of the antenna module is enabled without affecting the transmission signal.

Abstract: The peak level of a high frequency analog signal in an RF receiver is detected by a system which samples the signal and compares it against a static threshold, generating an above/below status. The system is implemented with a sampler of sufficient aperture bandwidth to capture the signal in question, operated at a clock frequency, dynamically chosen as a function of fLO (local oscillator frequency) and the desired fIF (intermediate frequency), to minimize in-band intermodulation products. The sampler produces kickback intermodulation products that are positioned out-of-band, or are of low enough power in-band so as to be inconsequential. Samples are taken for a statistically significant period of time, and the status is used to adapt the threshold to systematically determine the peak amplitude of the signal being observed.
