  • Patent number: 10985957
    Abstract: A mixed numerology OFDM system is presented herein relative to a first OFDM numerology having a first subcarrier spacing and associated with a first signal having a first length. A second signal having a second length and associated with a second OFDM numerology having a second subcarrier spacing greater than the first subcarrier spacing is generated by generating a sub-frame comprising redundant data appended to each of a plurality of OFDM symbols and generating the second signal by appending group redundant data to the sub-frame such that the second length equals the first length. The number of OFDM symbols in the sub-frame is selected such that a length of the sub-frame is as large as possible without exceeding the length of the first OFDM symbol in the first signal. The receiver may extract the first the first and second signals from a received composite signal using a single FFT.

  • Patent number: 10893473
    Abstract: In one aspect, a transmitting device forms an OFDM signal comprising a plurality of OFDM symbols and carrying user data targeted to a main transceiver of one or more receiving devices. The transmitting device modulates the OFDM signal with a wake-up signature (WUS) targeted to awake-up receiver (WUR) of a receiving device other than the one or more receiving devices. The modulating is performed so as to superimpose a modulation of signal power on the OFDM signal, the resulting variations in signal power conveying the wake-up signature. The modulated OFDM signal is transmitted, where a receiving device receives the OFDM at its WUR. The receiving device detect a WUS modulated in the OFDM signal that is targeted to a wake-up receiver of a receiving device other than the one or more receiving devices. The receiving device wakes up its main transceiver in response to the detecting.
