  • Patent number: 11936470
    Abstract: An encoder outputs a first bit sequence having N bits. A mapper generates a first complex signal s1 and a second complex signal s2 with use of bit sequence having X+Y bits included in an input second bit sequence, where X indicates the number of bits used to generate the first complex signal s1, and Y indicates the number of bits used to generate the second complex signal s2. A bit length adjuster is provided after the encoder, and performs bit length adjustment on the first bit sequence such that the second bit sequence has a bit length that is a multiple of X+Y, and outputs the first bit sequence after the bit length adjustment as the second bit sequence. As a result, a problem between a codeword length of a block code and the number of bits necessary to perform mapping by a set of modulation schemes is solved.

  • Patent number: 11923939
    Abstract: Multiple mobility sets are maintained for nodes of radio networks. The sets comprise information such as: transmit and receive point identities; cell identities; beam identities; frequency channels; channel bandwidth; and black lists. The sets may be defined at different levels, such as network and physical (PHY) level. A network mobility set, e.g., a new-radio (NR) mobility set may, be determined by the gNB, the cell, the UE, or another device. Multiple radio access network nodes and UEs may exchange mobility set information to achieve a distributed mobility solution. A UE may monitor its orientation relative to a TRP, e.g., via use of an onboard MEMS gyroscope, and alter its beamforming parameters in response to changes in orientation and/or changes in TRP connection strength. Cell selection and reselection for beam based networks may use Single Frequency Network (SFN) broadcast of initial access signals without beam sweeping.

  • Patent number: 11914015
    Abstract: Provided is a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus with no occurrence of artifacts, even after noise removal by applying Wavelet transform to a zero-fill reconstructed image. Nuclear magnetic resonance signals acquired by the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus are processed to perform reconstruction with a reconstruction matrix extended by zero-filling an acquisition matrix, and then a zero-fill reconstructed image is produced. This reconstructed image is subjected to an iterative operation combining the Wavelet transform and L1 norm minimization to remove noise. Before the noise removal, a pre-processing is performed to change the reconstruction matrix size so that an artifact does not occur in the image after noise removal, an artifact portion appears outside the reconstruction matrix after the noise removal, or cutting out is performed so that no artifact appears after the noise removal. The matrix size is restored to its original size in the post-processing after the noise removal.
