Abstract: A method performed by a distributed base station system of a wireless communication network. The distributed base station system comprises a base band unit (BBU) and a remote radio unit (RRU) connected to each other over a fronthaul link. The method comprises receiving uplink signals at N antennas of the RRU from a number of user equipment (UEs) connected to the RRU. The BBU determines first beamforming weights based on a first reference signal that is has received from the UEs and sends the first beamforming weights to the RRU. The RRU then determines intermediate signals from the first beamforming weights and the uplink signals and sends the intermediate signals to the BBU. The BBU then determines second beamforming weights from a second reference signal it has received from the RRU. Then, the BBU determines an output signal based on the intermediate signal and the second beamforming weights.

Abstract: Audio video synchronization and alignment or alignment of audio to some other external clock are rendered more effective or easier by treating fragment grid and frame grid as independent values, but, nevertheless, for each fragment the frame grid is aligned to the respective fragment's beginning. A compression effectiveness lost may be kept low when appropriately selecting the fragment size. On the other hand, the alignment of the frame grid with respect to the fragments' beginnings allows for an easy and fragment-synchronized way of handling the fragments in connection with, for example, parallel audio video streaming, bitrate adaptive streaming or the like.

Abstract: A wireless receiver in 5G and 6G can localize message faults by defining an “acceptance region” surrounding each of the predetermined allowed modulation states of a modulation scheme. Then, upon receiving a message, the receiver can measure (or calculate from the I and Q branches) the received amplitude and phase of the waveform signal in each message element. If the received amplitude and phase are within one of the acceptance regions, the message element according to the allowed state in that acceptance region. If the received amplitude and phase are not within the acceptance region of any of the allowed states, that message element is faulted. In addition, the receiver can increment an amplitude fault tally and a phase fault tally according to which parameter—amplitude or phase—is outside the acceptance regions, thereby greatly simplifying recovery of the message without a retransmission.
