Patent number: 11323986Abstract: Described is a method of decoding a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). The method comprises: for a PSCCH candidate in a resource grid, processing a received demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a subframe of the resource grid associated with the PSCCH candidate to determine one or more potential PSCCHs for decoding, each of the one or more potential PSCCHs being identified by resource block (RB) position in the resource grid and a corresponding DMRS cyclic shift (ncs) value. This step is repeated for at least one other DMRS in the subframe to determine one or more potential PSCCHs for the at least one other DMRS. Then, a subset L of PSCCHs is selected from the potential PSCCHs. The selected subset L of PSCCHs together with their corresponding DMRS cyclic shift (ncs) values are made available for use in a decoding process for the received channel signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institue Company LimitedInventors: Eddy Chiu, Yun Hou, Yuyi Mao, Xiangyu Liu, Ching Hong Chris Leung, Man Wai Victor Kwan, Kong Chau Eric Tsang

Patent number: 10812221Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for accurate decoding of a received channel signal when station identifier information is unknown. Embodiments accurately decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), such as to obtain downlink control information (DCI), without knowing radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) information. An unknown station identifier information (USII) of embodiments uses redundancy reduction-based error checking (performing error checking between data decoded from a candidate control channel data block containing redundant data and a portion of that candidate control channel data block containing redundancy reduced data) for implementing decoding when station identifier information is unknown. Embodiments of a USII decoder may use a power detection technique for identifying candidate control channel data blocks used in redundancy reduction-based error checking operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xiangyu Liu, Lu Yang, Eddy Chiu, Chenggang Lyu, Jun Zhu, Ching Hong Chris Leung, Man Wai Victor Kwan, Kong Chau Eric Tsang

Patent number: 10795407Abstract: An electronic reading device, including: a housing, wherein exterior surfaces of the housing include a first and second main surface, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge, and a fourth edge, and each of the edges is located in between the first and second main surface, and the third edge is parallel to the fourth edge, and the first edge is located at an opposite side of the housing than the second edge. The first main surface includes a display, and the second main surface is an opposing surface to the first main surface. The housing is asymmetrical as it includes an extended housing portion that is spaced away from one edge of the display, a thickness of the housing between the first and second main surface increases from the second edge to the first edge, and the housing has an upward bend at the extended housing portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: RAKUTEN KOBO INC.Inventors: Archer Wun, Kuan-Chang Lin, Anna Buechin, Chris Leung

Patent number: 8279965Abstract: MIMO detection is described that reduces the complexity of computations for finding the soft bit output. The detection process includes QR factorization splitting the distance calculations into two groups, subset lookup using a last cross constellation set (LCCS) lookup, and minimal distance lookup with soft bit output calculation. By grouping the distance calculations into a first group that has one antenna transmitting using a modulation scheme with a generally square constellation diagram and a second group for all of the other antenna constellation diagrams, the LCCS lookup process may be used which substantially reduces the number of calculations to be made in the detection process. Moreover, in the special case of 2×2 antenna, QR factorization is performed by applying a scaled Givens rotation to the channel matrix. The application of the scaled Givens rotation operator eliminates any square root operations that would be performed in a standard QR factorization.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chris Leung
