  • Patent number: 10840746
    Abstract: A wireless power transmitting device transmits wireless power signals to a wireless power receiving device using a wireless power transmitting coil. The wireless power receiving device may transmit data packets to the wireless power transmitting device. The wireless power transmitting device may include a data receiver that is coupled to the wireless power transmitting coil and that receives the transmitted data packets. The data receiver may be configured to demodulate the received data packets. The data packets may include at least preamble bits, start bits, and data bits encoded as biphase half-bit signals in accordance with a predefined wireless power transfer protocol. During demodulation, the receiver may perform preamble detection, start bit detection, and data bit detection by comparing the input signals to corresponding reference patterns using a maximum likelihood sequence detection scheme. Phase recovery may be employed throughout to help provide immunity to phase change.

  • Publication number: 20200287774
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an encoding method and an encoder for a (n, n(n?1), n?1) permutation group code in a communication modulation system, in which 2k k-length binary information sequences are mapped to 2k n-length permutation codeword signal points in a n-dimensional modulation constellation ?n. The constellation ?n with the coset characteristics is formed by selecting 2k n-length permutation codewords from n(n?1) permutation codewords of a code set Pn,xi of the (n, n(n?1), n?1) permutation group code based on coset partition. The constellation ?n is a coset code in which 2k1 cosets are included and each coset includes 2k2 permutation codewords, where k=k1+k2, and 2k?n(n?1). The present disclosure utilizes the coset characteristics to realize one-to-one correspondence mapping of the binary information sequence set to the permutation code constellation, so that the time complexity of executing the encoder is at most the linear complexity of the code length n.

  • Publication number: 20200287570
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses an algebraic decoding method and a decoder for a (n, n(n?1), n?1) permutation group code in a communication modulation system. The basic principle of the decoding method is: assuming that two code elements p(r1)=s1 and p(r2)=s2 can be correctly detected in a received real vector with a length of n, including their element values s1, s2 and position indices r1, r2 in the vector, an intermediate parameter w is determined by solving an equation (r1?r2)w=(s1?s2)(mod n); and each code element is calculated by w according to p(i)=(s1+(n?r1+i)w)(mod n), i=1, 2, . . . , n. The decoder is mainly composed of multiple n-dimensional registers, a w calculator, n code element calculators, and a code element buffer. In the disclosure, in a case where a receiver only correctly detects two code elements in a transmitted codeword with a length of n, the codeword can be correctly decoded by using the received information of the two code elements.

  • Patent number: 10763896
    Abstract: A construction method for a (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code based on coset partition is provided. The presented (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code has an error-correcting capability of d?1 and features a strong anti-interference capability for channel interferences comprising multi-frequency interferences and signal fading. As n is a prime, for a permutation code family with a minimum distance of n?1 and a code set size of n(n?1), the invention provides a method of calculating n?1 orbit leader permutation codewords by On={?o1}?=1n-1(mod n) and enumerating residual codewords of the code set by Pn=CnOn={(l1)n-1On}={(rn)n-1On}. Besides, a generator of the code set thereof is provided. The (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code of the invention is an algebraic-structured code, n?1 codewords of the orbit leader array can be obtained simply by adder and (mod n) calculator rather than multiplication of positive integers.
