  • Patent number: 11762001
    Abstract: Measurement arrangement and method for measuring an electromagnetic field. It is for this purpose that a measurement probe is arranged on a mechanical probe positioning structure and moved along a number of one or more circular tracks. In this way, the measurement probe can be subsequently located at multiple different spatial positions and the corresponding electromagnetic signal can be measured. Accordingly, properties of an electromagnetic field can be determined by taking into account the measured electromagnetic signal with respect to the related spatial position.

  • Patent number: 11758486
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a wireless device receives configuration parameters of first reference signals (RSs) and second RSs. A first RS of the first RSs is selected based on signal strengths of first RSs. A second RS of the second RSs is selected based on signal strengths of the second RSs. A random access preamble based on at least one of the first RS and the second RS is transmitted. A random access response comprising an uplink grant scheduling uplink resources for uplink transmissions with repetitions is received. First repetitions, of the repetitions of a transport block, with a first transmission power based on the first RS are transmitted via the uplink resources. Second repetitions, of the repetitions of the transport block, with a second transmission power based on the second RS are transmitted via the uplink resources.

  • Patent number: 11750319
    Abstract: We disclose a novel methodology for wireless networks that optimizes the transmission probability, transmit power at an agent, and the reflection matrix of an IRS for covert RF communications. Key features include: (1) An exact closed-form expression for the expected detection error probability (DEP) at an adversary is provided considering the transmission probability at the agent; and (2) a novel method to optimize the transmission probability, transmit power at the agent and the reflection matrix of the IRS with the goal of maximizing the achievable rate at a client while ensuring a covertness constraint is developed. More specifically, the method may require only one-dimensional line search schemes, achieves near-optimal performance, and exhibits enhanced achievable data rate when compared to the conventional technique without the transmission probability optimization.
