  • Publication number: 20210315013
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a base station of an uncoordinated wireless communication system, wherein the communication system is configured to communicate in a radio band used by a plurality of communication systems, wherein the base station is configured to receive an uplink transmission from an end point of the wireless communication system, wherein the base station is configured to transmit, in response to the reception of the uplink transmission, a downlink transmission to the end point in a downlink transmission window, wherein the downlink transmission window is synchronized in time to the uplink transmission, wherein the base station is configured, in case of an expected collision of the downlink transmission with another transmission, to reposition the downlink transmission in time and/or frequency within the downlink transmission window, in order to avoid a collision of the downlink transmission with the other transmission.

  • Publication number: 20210175929
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for transmitting data between a user terminal and another apparatus. The method has a step of generating a signal for driving an electromagnetic oscillating circuit connected to the user terminal. Additionally, the method has a step of driving the electromagnetic oscillating circuit by the generated signal to produce, by the electromagnetic oscillating circuit, a magnetic field which carries data to be transmitted from the user terminal to the other apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10855494
    Abstract: A transmitter is configured to transmit signals each having a pilot sequence including a plurality of pilot sequence symbols, wherein the transmitter includes a signal generator, wherein the signal generator is configured to provide the pilot sequence starting from a base sequence which includes a plurality of base sequence symbols, wherein the signal generator provides the pilot sequence symbols starting from the base sequence symbol successively repeated R?1 times, and wherein R is a natural number greater than or equal to two, wherein the base sequence is configured such that a correlation of the pilot sequence with a transmission signal formed from the pilot sequence has a main maximum which is as narrow as possible and/or secondary maximums which are as small as possible.

  • Publication number: 20200343980
    Abstract: A data receiver receives at least one signal from a data transmitter and determines therefrom at least one environment parameter of the data transmitter or of an environment of the data transmitter. The data receiver is configured to identify an operational state of the data transmitter or of a component of the data transmitter by comparing the at least one environment parameter so received or an environment parameter profile determined on the basis of the at least one environment parameter, with an environment parameter reference profile which describes an expected environment parameter or an expected environment parameter profile in the environment of the data transmitter.

  • Publication number: 20200168987
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a data transmitter having a transmitter configured to transmit a signal, wherein at least one signal parameter of the signal depends on an environmental parameter in an environment of the data transmitter, and a shielding unit configured to shield the transmitter or part of the transmitter from the environmental parameter to reduce a receiver-side reconstructable effect of the environmental parameter on the at least one signal parameter and/or a modifier for modifying the signal parameter configured to modify the at least one signal parameter to reduce a receiver-side reconstructable effect of the environmental parameter on the at least one signal parameter, wherein the modifier for modifying the signal parameter is configured to modify the at least one signal parameter directly or a signal derived from a clock signal of a clock generator of the data transmitter on which the signal or generation of the signal depends, in order to modify the at least one signal parameter.

  • Publication number: 20200044687
    Abstract: In embodiments, instead of a uniform (global) hopping pattern that is used equally by all data transmitters and data receivers of a communication system, data transmitters and the data receiver use an individual hopping pattern for the communication. This individual hopping pattern may depend on an operation and is therefore only used by the data transmitter and the data receiver themselves or by a small group of data transmitters and/or data receivers, which may significantly increase the interference immunity.
