Abstract: AI-based fault detection, localization, and correction can improve message reliability in 5G and 6G communications by enabling the rapid recovery of faulted messages without wasting precious time and power on an unnecessary retransmission. The waveform of a received message is rich with information implicating the faulted message elements and, in many cases, suggesting the corrected value. In examples, message recovery can be based on the amplitude of the received waveform, its phase, any pathological variations in noise or in frequency or in polarization, and on inter-symbol transition regions, to list just a few waveform fault indicators revealing the fault locations. In addition, the AI model, or an algorithm derived from it, can discern the intent or meaning of a message, as well as its form and format, the bitwise content, the sequence of characters, and other error flags indicating which parts of the message are faulted.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for access point (AP) steering or frequency band steering based on a location of a station (STA). In some aspects, an AP may determine the location of the STA based on timing information and may steer the STA based on the location. To obtain the timing information, the AP may exchange fine timing measurement (FTM) frames with the STA. The AP may determine a distance between itself and the STA based on the timing information. The AP also may obtain distance information from other APs. Using the distance between itself and the STA, as well as the distance information from other APs, the AP may determine a location of the STA and steer the STA based on its location. The AP may steer the STA to a different frequency band of the same AP or to different AP altogether.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing updates to user devices, and in particular, SIM-based OTA updates. In some cases, SIMOTA updates need to be made while a user device has a cellular connection (e.g., 4G/LTE, 5G).

The instruction is for the user devices to deregister from the non-cellular connection and to reregister using a cellular connection. An indication is received that at least a portion of those user devices now currently have a cellular connection. The SIM-based updates are then transmitted to those user devices.

Abstract: Synchronization between a base station and user devices is crucial for high-frequency 5G and especially 6G communications. Disclosed is a fast, compact timing signal comprising an abrupt change in a downlink signal modulation, centrally positioned in a predetermined symbol-time. Each user device can receive the downlink timing signal, digitize the received signal, and determine a specific time at which the modulation switches. The user device can then determine whether the specific time is at a midpoint of the predetermined symbol-time, and if not, can determine a timing offset according to the difference. Since the user device's symbol-time boundaries are determined by the user device's clock, whereas the timing signal is determined by the base station, the timing offset generally indicates a setting error of the user device's clock, in which case the user device can reset its clock to agree with the base station clock.

A number of the plurality of artificial neural network submodels and the control variables or environment variables that are sequentially input to each submodel depend on divisional control and integral control of the cooling system.
