  • Patent number: 11463154
    Abstract: An active repeater device includes a primary sector and one or more secondary sectors, receives a first beam of input RF signals. A first set of analog baseband signals, are generated based on received first beam of input RF signals. The first set of analog baseband signals are converted to a first set of coded data signals and control information is extracted from the first set of coded data signals by decoding only a header portion of the first set of coded data signals without demodulation of data portion of the first set of coded data signals. Based on the extracted control information, the first set of coded data signals are transmitted as beams of output RF signals to remote user equipment. The transmission is independent of demodulation of the data portion within the active repeater device to reduce latency for transmission of the first set of coded data signals.

  • Patent number: 11456907
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and system to generate a waveform in a communication network. The transmitter receives an input data and transmit a generated waveform to another communication system. The input data is spread with a spread code to generate a spread data and rotated using a constellation rotation operation to produce a rotated data. The rotated data is then precoded using precoding filter to produce a precoded data, and transformed into DFT output data using DFT operation. The DFT output data is then mapped with subcarriers to generate the sub-carrier mapped DFT data and modulated using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation to generate the waveform with low PAPR.

  • Patent number: 11405042
    Abstract: In described examples, a method of operating a transceiver with a transmitter and a receiver includes generating a frequency reference. In the transmitter: A phase locked loop (PLL) generates a first voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) control voltage responsive to the frequency reference. A VCO in the transmitter generates a transmitter VCO signal responsive to the first VCO control voltage, and the PLL is locked to the transmitter VCO signal. In the receiver: A signal is received. A receiver VCO generates a receiver VCO signal responsive to the first or a second VCO control voltage. The receiver VCO signal is multiplied by the received signal to generate an I component, and by the received signal phase shifted by 90° to generate a Q component. The second VCO control signal is generated responsive to the I component and the Q component.

  • Patent number: 11393098
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of segmenting a medical patient image using an atlas and relating the segmentation result to a model of possible geometric changes to the segmentation result (e.g. for correcting the position of the segmentation of anatomical structures) which consider for example anatomical limitations. The thus-related segmentation result may be used as a basis for changing and/or correcting the position, shape and/or orientation of at least parts of the segmentation result, e.g. by user interaction. The invention also relates to an atlas data set comprising information such as values of the variables of the model of possible geometric changes in relation to the positions of anatomical structures in the atlas.

  • Patent number: 11386708
    Abstract: A system for providing cognition assistance including a contextual memory trainer, which receives preprocessed data including facial data, scene data, and activity data related to a video in association with temporal data and geographical location data of the camera that captured the video, where the scene data, the activity data, the geographical location data, and the temporal data collectively define spatiotemporal data. The trainer identifies an unknown aspect in the preprocessed data based on historical data and determines a predefined priority factor therefor. The priority factor includes one of a frequency of occurrence within a set period and relative proximity of the unknown aspect to the camera, a known face, place, or scene. The unknown aspect is prioritized for annotation based on a value of the priority factor exceeding a predefined threshold value, based on which facial data is associated with the spatiotemporal data to provide contextual annotated data.
