  • Patent number: 11917422
    Abstract: An information handling system executing an intelligent throughput performance analysis and issue detection system may comprise a network interface device to establish a wireless link with a wireless network and a processor to execute a neural network trained to predict wireless link throughput values based on controlled connectivity testing metrics gathered in a controlled laboratory from tested information handling systems. The processor may gather measured throughput of the wireless link and operational connectivity metrics for the information handling system that describe antenna positional information, antenna adaptation controller parameters, signal strength measurements, and wireless link performance metrics. The neural network may output, based on the gathered operational connectivity metrics a predicted throughput value that differs from the measured throughput by a maximum tolerance.

  • Patent number: 11910224
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a receiver-centric transmission system for IoT systems, such as lighting networks, with combo protocol radio chips that share a single radio front-end for two or more transmission protocols of different network technologies while preventing unacceptable performance degradations in one or both protocol modes. The receiver-centric approach allows implementation of two networks with acceptable performances on one single radio chip per node rather than requiring two radio chips per node.

  • Patent number: 11825344
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a measurement operation to attain multiple measurements to report to a base station. The measurements may correspond to a first number of bits if reported. The UE may compress the measurements using an encoder neural network (NN) to obtain an encoder output indicating the measurements. This encoder output may include a second number of bits that is less than the first number of bits. The UE may report the encoder output to the base station in this compressed form. At the base station, the encoder output may be decompressed according to a decoder NN. Once the base station decompresses the encoder output, the UE and base station may communicate according to the measurements determined from the decompression. In some cases, the base station may perform load redistribution based on the measurements.
