  • Publication number: 20250062869
    Abstract: A base station may generate and transmit a transport stream including a sequence of frames. A frame may include a plurality of partitions, where each partition includes a corresponding set of OFDM symbols. For each partition, the OFDM symbols in that partition may have a corresponding cyclic prefix size and a corresponding FFT size, allowing different partitions to be targeted for different collections of user devices, e.g., user devices having different expected values of maximum delay spread and/or different ranges of mobility. The base station may also dynamically re-configure the sample rate of each frame, allowing further resolution in control of subcarrier spacing. By allowing the cyclic prefixes of different OFDM symbols to have different lengths, it is feasible to construct a frame that confirms to a set payload duration and has arbitrary values of cyclic prefix size per partition and FFT size per partition. The partitions may be multiplexed in time and/or frequency.

  • Patent number: 12225555
    Abstract: A method disclosed includes receiving data from a plurality of data sources in a broadcast core network for transmission over a radio access network (RAN). The method includes assigning radio spectrum resources for transmitting the data over the RAN according to a policy guidance set by a plurality of network operators for sharing the radio spectrum resources and generating a baseband packet corresponding to the data at a distributed unit (DU) in the RAN. The method includes collecting transmission data from a plurality of user equipments (UEs) in the RAN for training a machine learning algorithm and scheduling transmission of the generated baseband packet to a remote unit (RU) over a fronthaul in a radio topology of a plurality of radio topologies under control of the machine learning algorithm according to the policy guidance. The generated baseband packet is compatible for transmission in the plurality of radio technologies.

  • Publication number: 20250043283
    Abstract: Provided herein are processes for preparing an oligomer (e.g., a morpholino oligomer). The synthetic processes described herein may be advantageous to scaling up oligomersynthesis while maintaining overall yield and purity of a synthesized oligomer.
