  • Publication number: 20190007242
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of full duplex compensation with a self-interference noise calculator. The self-interference noise calculator may be coupled to antennas of a wireless device and configured to generate adjusted signals that compensate self-interference. The self-interference noise calculator may include a network of processing elements configured to combine transmission signals into sets of intermediate results. Each set of intermediate results may be summed in the self-interference noise calculator to generate a corresponding adjusted signal. The adjusted signal is received by a corresponding wireless receiver to compensate for the self-interference noise generated by a wireless transmitter transmitting on the same frequency band as the wireless receiver is receiving.

  • Publication number: 20180324021
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data with coefficient data. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data for a transmission in a radio frequency (RF) wireless domain with the coefficient data to generate output data that is representative of the transmission being processed according to the wireless protocol in the RF wireless domain. A computing device may be trained to generate coefficient data based on the operations of a wireless transceiver such that mixing input data using the coefficient data generates an approximation of the output data, as if it were processed by the wireless transceiver. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

    Abstract: An image processing method and system using a low-complexity scheme is provided. According to one aspect of the method, input components from a RGB model are used directly to calculate the down-sampled components of a YCbCr model. In an exemplary instance where average down-sampling and a down-sampling rate of “4:2:0” are used, the following equations are used to derive the down-sampled components of the YCbCr model: Y l ? = ? 0.29900 ? R i + 0.58700 ? G l + 0.11400 ? B l Cb ? = ? - 0.04219 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? R l - 0.082815 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? G l + 0.12500 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? B l + 2 SP / 2 Cr ? = ? 0.12500 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? R i - 0.10467 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? G i - 0.02033 ? ? i = 0 3 ? ? B i + 2 SP / 2 where Ri, Gi and Bi are three input components of the color conversion for the pixel i and “SP” represents a specified sample precision under the RGB model.
