  • Methods and devices for device-to-device communications
    Patent number: 11451260
    Abstract: A terminal device includes a controller configured to identify a data hopping sequence for a first superframe including a plurality of frames, and a transceiver configured to switch hopping frequencies over the plurality of frames according to a data hopping sequence that excludes one or more hopping frequencies scheduled for use by a synchronization hopping sequence in one or more superframes immediately succeeding the first superframe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignee: INTEL CORPORATION
    Inventors: Tobias Scholand, Jan Ellenbeck, Biljana Badic, Oana-Elena Barbu, Thomas Hans-Joerg Reichelmeir, Norman Goris, Lea Castel, Nuno Manuel Kiilerich Pratas, Christian Drewes, Johannes Brendel

  • Methods and devices for channel estimation
    Patent number: 10219170
    Abstract: A device and method for performing channel estimation, including in a first iteration of channel estimation, determining a channel estimate based on at least a first pilot symbol of a reference signal received at the device; and in each respective iteration of one or more ensuing iterations determining a reference channel estimate based on at least one subsequent pilot symbol of the reference signal; decoding a data signal received at the device based on the reference channel estimate; determining a data channel estimate based on at least one data symbol from the decoded data signal; and calculating a channel estimate for the respective iteration based on the reference channel estimate, the data channel estimate, and a channel estimate from a previous iteration.
