  • Patent number: 12140822
    Abstract: A method for controlling an internal light source of a vehicle, wherein the internal light source is for darkening of glasses. The method includes acquiring an image recognition result, wherein the image recognition is for determining whether an occupant of the vehicle wears glasses, and controlling the light source responsive to the acquired image recognition result. In some embodiments, controlling the light source includes activating the light source when the image recognition result indicates that the occupant wears glasses. In some embodiments, the image recognition result is indicative of whether glasses darken responsive to activation of the light source and controlling the light source comprises deactivating the light source when the image recognition result indicates that the glasses do not darken responsive to activation of the light source.

  • Patent number: 12132531
    Abstract: A first antenna processing node receives (710) one or more wireless transmissions from a wireless device and obtains first symbol values from the one or more wireless transmissions. The first antenna processing node receives (720) second symbol values from a second antenna processing node, the second symbol values corresponding to the one or more wireless transmissions as received at the second antenna processing node, and calculates (730) a first weight parameter based on at least a subset of the first symbol values and a corresponding subset of the second symbol values. The first antenna processing node calculates (740) third symbol values by computing a weighted sum of first symbol values and corresponding ones of the second symbol values, using the first weight parameter, and sends (750) the third symbol values to a third antenna processing node or to a controlling node. This combining of symbol values may approximate maximum ratio combining, MRC.

  • Patent number: 12113628
    Abstract: A wireless system comprises a controlling node and two or more antenna processing nodes coupled to the controlling node but separated from each other. The controlling node sends (720) a command to a first one of the two or more antenna processing nodes, instructing the first one of the two or more antenna processing nodes to transmit data to a wireless device. This may be preceded by selecting (715) the first one of the antenna processing nodes based on an estimated signal quality metric corresponding to the wireless device for each antenna processing node. In response to a determination by the controlling node that the wireless device has not successfully decoded the data, the controlling node sends (730) a command to a second one of the two or more antenna processing nodes, instructing the second one of the antenna processing nodes to transmit the data to the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 12028138
    Abstract: An Advanced Antenna System (AAS) receiver and related methods are provided. According to one aspect an AAS receiver comprises a digital processing block of a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC). The digital processing block comprises an interface for communicating with a Central Unit (CU), and a plurality of Antenna Signal Processing Blocks (ASPBs), each receiving a digitized receive signal from a respective antenna element of an antenna array. Each ASPB comprises one or more receivers, each of which receives and processes the signal from the respective antenna element. Some receivers within the ASPB beamform the respective processed signal to produce one or more data streams to be sent to the CU. Other receivers within the ASPB provide the respective processed signal to a processing block that buffers the processed signal and sends it to the CU at a later time, e.g., when traffic to the CU is relatively lower.
