  • Patent number: 11082149
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, receiver and system provide for configurability of the modulation order of a communications system, such as an autoencoder-based communication system. With respect to a system including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter encodes a message into a vector of channel symbols for transmission via a channel. The message is encoded pursuant to a modulation order m that is adjustable up to a maximum modulation order Mmax. The receiver receives a vector of samples generated by the channel and determines a first prediction vector for the message encoded by the transmitter. The receiver includes a slicing layer to eliminate one or more elements of the first prediction vector if the modulation order m is less than the maximum modulation order Mmax so as to generate a second prediction vector tailored to the modulation order from which a prediction of the message encoded by the transmitter is identified.

  • Patent number: 11057249
    Abstract: Examples of wireless OFDM communication systems are described herein which replace pilot subcarriers having known modulation with lower dual subcarriers. At the transmitter, for each resource block, the bits that modulate a few payload subcarriers are selected and then encoded with a short dual code thereby forming dual systematic bits and dual check bits. Such selected payload subcarriers are designated as upper dual subcarriers and the dual check bits modulate the lower dual subcarriers, At the receiver, for each resource block, the dual subcarriers are phase adjusted, demodulated, decoded using the short dual code, and re-modulated thereby forming the original dual subcarrier modulation without phase noise nor channel impairments. The re-modulated dual subcarriers are compared against the received dual subcarriers for channel estimation or carrier phase-locked-loop purposes.

  • Patent number: 11038666
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for communication over a multi-wire, multiphase interface are disclosed. A clock recovery apparatus has a plurality of pulse generating circuits, a logic circuit and a delay flipflop. Each pulse generating circuit generates transition pulses in response to transitions in one of three difference signals representative of a difference in signaling state of a pair of wires in a three-wire bus. Transitions in the difference signals can occur at boundaries between sequentially-transmitted symbols. The first logic circuit may provide a single pulse in a combination signal at each boundary between pairs of symbols by combining one or more transition pulses. The delay flipflop is configured to respond to each pulse in the combination signal by changing signaling state of a clock signal that is output by the clock recovery apparatus. The symbols may be sequentially transmitted over the three-wire bus in accordance with a C-PHY protocol.
