  • Patent number: 12689451
    Abstract: A testing device may receive, from a phase shift matrix (PSM), a signal pattern associated with a plurality of antenna ports of a base station. The testing device may obtain data associated with the signal pattern and may identify, based on the data, a plurality of null directions associated with the signal pattern. The testing device may, for each null direction of the plurality of null directions: identify, based on the data, a measured amplitude associated with the null direction; determine, based on the measured amplitude, an estimated phase associated with the null direction; and determine, based on the measured amplitude and the estimated phase, an estimated in-phase amplitude associated with the null direction. The testing device may thereby determine error correction information associated with the plurality of null directions. The testing device may provide the error correction information, such as to enable calibration of the PSM.

  • Patent number: 12665702
    Abstract: Network coding in automatic receipt request (ARQ) functionality is disclosed. A compatible transmitter configures a new transmission period, in which the set of data for transmission is transmitted, and a retransmission period, after the new transmission period, in which a number of network coded data is retransmitted based on the acknowledgement feedback received from the receivers receiving the transmitted set of data. The acknowledgement feedback identifies one or more data requested for retransmission by one or more of the receivers. The transmitter determines a number of network coded data that could be transmitted to accommodate each of the requesting receivers and the data requested by such receivers for retransmission. These network coded data would then be retransmitted by the transmitter during the retransmission period.
