  • Patent number: 12035256
    Abstract: A parameter server located at a base station may coordinate federated learning among multiple user equipment (UEs) using over-the-air (OTA) aggregation with power control to mitigate aggregation distortion due to amplitude misalignment. The parameter server may select a first group of UEs for a first OTA aggregation session of a federated learning round based on a common received power property of each UE in the first group of UEs. The parameter server may transmit a global model to the first group of UEs. Each UE in the first group may train the global model based on a local dataset and transmit values associated with the trained local model. The parameter server may receive, on resource elements for the first group of UEs, a first aggregate amplitude modulated analog signal representing a combined response from the first group of UEs.

  • Patent number: 12034198
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing a tunable Wilkinson power splitter are presented. According to one aspect, the tunable splitter includes tunable branches realized via lumped elements that provide controlled impedance and phase at different selectable center frequencies of operation. For each of the center frequencies, the tunable Wilkinson splitter has a performance according to a corresponding fixed center frequency Wilkinson power splitter provided by a relatively narrow instantaneous bandwidth. Over a number of the center frequencies supported, performances of the tunable Wilkinson splitter overlap to provide a combined performance having a desired wider bandwidth. According to another aspect, each of the tunable branches includes an LC network that includes tunable capacitors and inductors. One or more of the tunable Wilkinson power splitters can be cascaded to provide a performance according to a wider instantaneous bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 12015992
    Abstract: Systems and methods for clock synchronization are disclosed. A client synchronization system (CSS) may transmit RF pulses to a server CSS over micrometeorite ionization trail (MMIT) channels, and may receive RF pulses from the server CSS over MMIT channels, each received RF pulse following transmitted RF pulse. The client CSS may receive from the server CSS over MMIT channels measurement data including pulse arrival times at the server CSS. The measurement and transmission data may be correlated to identify RF-pulse pairs, each pairing a transmitted RF pulse received by the server CSS with a received RF pulse received from the server CSS, both over the same MMIT. TWTT analysis may be applied to timing data the pairs to compute time offsets between a client clock and a server clock. An analytical model of clock drift may be applied to the offsets to synchronize the client clock to the server clock.

  • Patent number: 11985086
    Abstract: Disclosed are a wireless transmitter and a reference signal transmission method that improve channel estimation accuracy. In a terminal, which transmits a reference signal using n (n is a non-negative integer 2 or greater) band blocks (which correspond to clusters here), which are disposed with spaces therebetween in a frequency direction, a reference signal controller switches the reference signal formation method of a reference signal generator between a first formation method and a second formation method based on the number (n) of band blocks. In addition, a threshold value setting unit adjusts a switching threshold value based on the frequency spacing between band blocks. Thus, the reference signal formation method can be selected with good accuracy and, as a result, channel estimation accuracy is further improved.

  • Patent number: 11973492
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing automatic frequency control are provided. Instead of relying on individual frequency tuners for each channel of a multi-channel receiver system, the present subject matter uses a single frequency tuner for receiving each channel of the multi-channel receiver system. A locked demodulator may be designated as a reference demodulator and frequency offset values associated with the reference demodulator may be applied to other demodulators of the multi-channel receiver. These frequency offset values may be used by individual demodulators of each channel for correcting corresponding frequency offsets.
