  • Patent number: 11943153
    Abstract: A facility for conveying first side of a voice call from a first participant to a second participant is described. Over the duration of the voice call, the facility receives the first side of the call. The facility seeks to forward the received first side of the voice call to a downstream node on a path to the second participant. The facility records the received first side of the call for at least part of the call. The facility identifies a just-ended portion of the voice call for which forwarding of the received first side of the voice call was unsuccessful. In response, the facility transmits to the downstream node the recorded first side of the voice call that coincides with the identified portion of the voice call.

  • Patent number: 11937249
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating one or more channel properties of a downlink from a cellular communications network based on quasi co-located antenna ports with respect to the one or more channel properties. In one embodiment, a user equipment receives a downlink subframe including a downlink control channel from the cellular communications network. The user equipment estimates one or more large-scale channel properties for an antenna port of interest in the downlink control channel based on a subset of reference signals that correspond to antenna ports in the cellular communications network that are quasi co-located with the antenna port of interest with respect to the one or more large-scale channel properties. As a result of using the quasi co-located antenna ports, estimation of the one or more large-scale channel properties is substantially improved.

  • Patent number: 11929829
    Abstract: A communication method is configured to increase speed of messages reception over a bandwidth limited channel such as high frequency (HF) radio. User data arriving from a high-speed network is transformed into a format suitable for transmission over the radio channel. Message packets that will take longer to reach a destination via the radio channel as compared to alternative channels, such as a fiber optic network, are rejected for radio transmission. When the packet is received, the receiver deduces message length by using information from various error handling techniques, such as forward error correction (FEC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) techniques. Fill data is transmitted between message packets when no data is available. The FEC and CRC information for the fill data is modified so that the fill data will fail FEC and CRC checks at the receiving station.

  • Patent number: 11929862
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting an EHT PPDU to a WLAN system are proposed. Specifically, a transmitter generates and transmits an EHT PPDU to a receiver through a 320 MHz band from which an 80 MHz band is punctured. The EHT PPDU includes a legacy preamble and an EHT field. The legacy preamble includes an L-STF and an L-LTF. The legacy preamble is generated by applying a first phase rotation value. The first phase rotation value is obtained on the basis of a second phase rotation value and a third phase rotation value. The second phase rotation value is a phase rotation value that repeats a phase rotation value defined for the 80 MHz band in an 802.11ax system. The third phase rotation value is a phase rotation value defined in unit of the 80 MHz band in the 320 MHz band on the basis of an optimal PAPR of the L-STF and L-LTF. The first phase rotation value is [1 1 ?1 ?1 ?j ?j j j 1 1 ?1 ?1 ?j ?j j j].

  • Patent number: 11917469
    Abstract: In radio networks having a plurality of access points, for example WiFi, a wireless audio end device like for example a microphone or headphones is connected to an access point, to which it sends its audio data or from which it receives same. Audio transmission should occur as far as possible in interruption-free manner and with low latency. If the audio end device is moved the connection quality in relation to the previous access point can decrease and require scanning or roaming. In that respect first another base station is sought and then the radio connection is redirected there. In order in that case to avoid disruptive signal interruptions portions of the audio signal which can be particularly well predicted are detected or predicted by means of short-term statistical methods, like for example speech pauses. Scanning and roaming are then carried out during the predicted portions, whereby interruptions which are perceptible to a user are avoided.
