  • Patent number: 11683075
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and device for multi-antenna transmission in UE and base station. The user equipment receives a first wireless signal at first; then transmits a second wireless signal, and monitors a first signaling in a first sub-time resource pool. Wherein the first wireless signal is transmitted by K antenna port group(s) and the second wireless signal is used to determine the first antenna port group. The first antenna port group is one of the K antenna port group(s). The first sub-time resource pool is reserved to the first antenna port group, or the index of the first antenna port group is used to determine the first sub-time resource pool. One antenna port group includes positive integer number of antenna ports, and the K is a positive integer greater than 1.

  • Patent number: 11646784
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques allow a channel engineering device (CED) to identify a suitable configuration for deflecting uplink transmissions from a user equipment (UE) to a base station. The base station may transmit control signaling to the CED indicating multiple configurations for deflecting uplink reference signals. The UE may then transmit the uplink reference signals to the CED, and the CED may deflect the uplink reference signals using the indicated configurations. The base station may receive the uplink reference signals from the UE via the CED, and the base station may perform measurements on the uplink reference signals. The base station may then identify a configuration for the CED to use to deflect subsequent transmissions from the UE to the base station based on the measurements, and the base station may transmit an indication of the configuration to the CED.

  • Patent number: 11616667
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communication system in which multi-level encoded modulation (MLCM) is applied to non-coherent communication. In the proposed techniques, a small fraction of differential phase rotations or bits participating in differential symbol coding are protected with strong codes while other complementary differential phase rotations or bits are protected with weaker codes. Compared to conventional non-coherent communication techniques in which a uniform protection is applied to any fraction of differential phase rotation or any bit of a differential symbol, the proposed MLCM approach enables more spectrally efficient scheme.

  • Patent number: 11606427
    Abstract: A synchronized communication system includes a plurality of network communication devices, one of which is designated as a root device and the others designated as slave devices. Each network communication device includes one or more ports and communications circuitry, which processes the communication signals received by the one or more ports so as to recover a respective remote clock from each of the signals. A synchronization circuit is integrated in the root device and provides a root clock signal, which is conveyed by clock links to the slave devices. A host processor selects one of the ports of one of the network communication devices to serve as a master port, finds a clock differential between the root clock signal and the respective remote clock recovered from the master port, and outputs, responsively to the clock differential, a control signal causing the synchronization circuit to adjust the root clock signal.
