  • Patent number: 12199650
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for nonlinear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 12177167
    Abstract: Examples described herein include apparatuses and methods for full duplex device-to-device cooperative communication. Example systems described herein may include self-interference noise calculators. The output of a self-interference noise calculator may be used to compensate for the interference experienced due to signals transmitted by another antenna of the same wireless device or system. In implementing such a self-interference noise calculator, a selected wireless relaying device or wireless destination device may operate in a full-duplex mode, such that relayed messages may be transmitted as well as information from other sources or destinations during a common time period (e.g., symbol, slot, subframe, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20240412050
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to signal processing systems that employ various techniques to enhance data transfer quality. In some cases, a memory controller uses a neural network (e.g., time delay neural network (TDNN) to enable nonlinear processing to improve equalization. In some other cases, the memory controller uses an activation function to enable nonlinear processing to improve equalization. The systems may incorporate a finite impulse response (FIR) filter with the activation function applied to its output. A memory controller including a cache may store precomputed values of the activation function. Various types of activation functions or neural network configurations may be employed to introduce nonlinearity and adapt to different application requirements. The present disclosure is applicable in communication systems, control systems, and other digital signal processing systems requiring efficient processing of complex data transmission patterns.

  • Publication number: 20240411471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a memory controller and a memory device that are configured to communicate with each other using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology. The memory controller includes a precoder that precodes data for transmission. The precoding is based on channel state information, a neural network, or both. The memory device receives the precoded data and decodes them to retrieve the original data. In some cases, the precoder uses the channel state information to optimize the precoding matrix for the given channel conditions. In some cases, a neural network is trained to predict the optimal precoding matrix for the current channel state. The precoding matrix is then used to encode the data, which is then transmitted to the memory device. The use of MIMO and precoding improves the reliability and efficiency of the communication between the memory controller and memory device.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for error correction based on data characteristics are disclosed. Data characteristics can include importance of the data. Data is received at a memory controller from a host device, and a characteristic of the received data is determined. A level of error correction is selected from a plurality of error correction levels for the received data based on the determined characteristic. The received data and an error correction code are written to a memory. The error correction code is generated based on the selected level of error correction. In some implementations, the characteristic of the received data is determined using a neural network.

  • Publication number: 20240385977
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for determining a channel characteristic are disclosed. The channel characteristic can be a characteristic of a channel between a memory controller and a memory. The channel characteristic is determined at the memory controller relating to logic levels of data written to or read from the memory over the channel, and transceiver settings of a transceiver of the memory controller are modified according to the determined characteristic. The channel characteristic can be determined based on storing a pilot signal at the memory controller, causing the pilot signal to be written to the memory, and comparing a read pilot signal corresponding to the written pilot signal with the stored pilot signal.

  • Patent number: 12118056
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing matrix transforms within a memory fabric. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to converting a memory array into a matrix fabric for matrix transformations and performing matrix operations therein. Exemplary embodiments described herein perform matrix transformations within a memory device that includes a matrix fabric and matrix multiplication unit (MMU). In one exemplary embodiment, the matrix fabric uses a “crossbar” construction of resistive elements. Each resistive element stores a level of impedance that represents the corresponding matrix coefficient value. The crossbar connectivity can be driven with an electrical signal representing the input vector as an analog voltage. The resulting signals can be converted from analog voltages to a digital values by an MMU to yield a vector-matrix product. In some cases, the MMU may additionally perform various other logical operations within the digital domain.
