  • Publication number: 20230113600
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data delayed versions of at least a portion of the respective processing results with coefficient data specific to a processing mode selection. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data delayed versions of respective outputs of various layers of multiplication/accumulation processing units (MAC units) 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 a wireless processing mode selection. In another example, such mixing input data with delayed versions of processing results may be to receive and process noisy wireless input data. 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.

  • Publication number: 20230115877
    Abstract: Examples described herein utilize multi-layer neural networks, such as multi-layer recurrent neural networks, to estimate a bit error rate (BER) of encoded data based on a retrieved version of encoded data (e.g., data encoded using one or more encoding techniques) from a memory. The neural networks may have nonlinear mapping and distributed processing capabilities which may be advantageous to estimate a BER of encoded data, e.g., to facilitate decoding of the encoded data. In this manner, neural networks described herein may be used to improve or facilitate aspects of decoding at ECC decoders, e.g., by comparing an estimated BER to a threshold (e.g., a threshold BER level) prior to decoding of the encoded data. For example, an additional NN activation indication may be provided, e.g., to indicate that the encoded data may be decoded or to indicate that error present in the encoded data is to be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20230079385
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which compensates input data for I/Q imbalance or noise related thereto to generate compensated input data. In doing such the above compensation, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide converted input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN calculates 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 I/Q imbalance. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data is transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path is deactivated and the receiver stage receives an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 11601146
    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.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing video processmg matrix operations within a memory fabric. Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to converting a memory array into a matrix fabric for discrete cosine transform (DCT) matrix transformations and performing DCT matrix operations therein. Exemplary embodiments described herein perform DCT matrix-matrix multiplication operations within a memory device that includes a matrix fabric and matrix multiplication unit (MMU). In one embodiment, matrix-matrix multiplication operations are obtained using separate matrix-vector products. 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.
