  • Publication number: 20150163826
    Abstract: A method of communication includes allocating a portion of a superframe centralized contention based period where the access method is based on directional ALOHA. The centralized contention based period is divided into equal time slots, and each sequential set of N time slots forms a time cycle. During a time cycle, a wireless device listens for requests from other wireless devices while it changes its receiving direction from one time slot to another.

  • Publication number: 20150036773
    Abstract: In a millimeter-wave radar, full-duplex operation is achieved by measuring a time interval during which a leakage signal is present in a digital baseband received signal, generating samples of the digital baseband received signal, and masking a subset of the samples corresponding to the time interval, which removes the leakage signal from the digital baseband received signal. The step of measuring the time interval may be performed during a calibration phase during which desired signals are suppressed.
