  • Patent number: 11516855
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and devices for interfacing media access tuning circuitry that implements collision handling or traffic shaping with a reduced media independent interface (RMII). In some embodiments, an interface circuitry manages emulated signals generated by a media access tuning circuitry in response to detecting that the emulated signals would cause incorrect operation of an RMII. Also disclosed is a physical layer (PHY) device for a multidrop network. In some embodiments the PHY device implements physical layer collision techniques and operable to communicate with a media access control (MAC) device via an RMII, where the MAC is configured for carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA), CSMA with collision detection (CSMA/CD), or CSMA with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA). Also disclosed are processes for managing signaling at a PHY that implements physical layer collision avoidance (PLCA) or traffic shaping, as the case may be.

  • Patent number: 11496940
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques of a new 3D waveform coding scheme that leverages the spatial properties of 5G NR systems. Specifically, in 5G systems, each UE location may be characterized by three parameters: propagation delay (tp), angle of elevation (?), and angle of azimuth (?). Global coding matrix may be generated by linear combination of these three attributes and a unique lattice code may be generated for each UE at different locations from the base station. Thus, considering the coding gain increases with increasing the distance between the codes, aspects of the present disclosure take advantage of geometrical properties of lattice. Particularly, within the 3D waveform coding, if lattice distance between co-beamed UEs is determined to be greater than threshold radius, a conjugate lattice code for the UEs may be applied in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11425754
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a first communication node operating in a wireless communications network. The first communication node adjusts a value of a Contention Window, CW, from a first value to a second value, the second value being a higher value than the first value, wherein adjusting the value is based on: one or more feedback timers having expired at a time of performing a sensing procedure in the absence of: a) a received uplink, UL, grant from a second communication node, or b) a downlink feedback from the second communication node for an Autonomous Uplink, AUL, transmission from the first communication node. Following adjusting the value, the first communication node initiates a sensing procedure performed prior to a transmission of an UL burst to the second communication node, wherein the sensing procedure uses the adjusted value of the CW.
