  • Patent number: 11799585
    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is well-suited to mitigate message faults by combining analog and digital information in 5G and 6G communications. The analog information includes everything measureable about the waveform signal as-received, and the digital information includes the error-detection code accompanying the message. For example, the AI model can localize the most likely faulted message elements according to amplitude fluctuations or phase deviations or other signaling irregularity, and can then use the error-detection code to calculate the corrected values of the faulted message elements. The AI model can also check the error-detection code itself for faults and consistency, as well as a demodulation reference that was used to demodulate the message, thereby avoiding a defective mitigation if either of those is faulted. The AI model can provide output including the most likely corrected version of the message, as well as a comparison with other possible versions, if any.

  • Patent number: 11770209
    Abstract: Wireless messages in 5G and 6G include error-detection codes appended or embedded in the message, such as Polar, LDPC, Turbo, and CRC codes. Analog fault tests based on the waveform signal of each message element can enhance the fault localization and mitigation, in many cases. Unexpected amplitude or phase variations, ambiguous modulation values, and polarization irregularities in or between message elements can localize the likely faulted message element(s). Turbo, Polar, and certain LDPC versions employ soft-decision decoding natively, and therefore can include the waveform results as extrinsic information. Other codes, such as basic parity, CRC, and basic LDPC, use hard-decision processes, but when combined with waveform diagnostics, can localize and mitigate faults. In life-threatening situations, rapid mitigation of a faulted message may save lives.
