  • Publication number: 20240063861
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a radio unit (RU) of a radio access network (RAN), that extracts payload data and beamforming parameters from matrices received from a base station based on format parameters of the matrices and format parameters of channel state information resource signal resource elements (CSI-RS REs). The matrices include a payload matrix and first and second bit mask matrices. Locations of CSI-RS REs are determined based on the bit mask matrices. The payload matrix is separated into CSI-RS RE and non-CSI-RS RE payload matrices based on the locations of the CSI-RS REs. CSI-RS REs and the non-CSI-RS REs beamforming weight matrices are recovered from the bit mask matrices based on known features of the CSI-RS REs and the bit mask matrices. Digital downlink beamforming is performed based on the recovered payload matrices and beamforming weight matrices.

  • Publication number: 20230142818
    Abstract: Multiplication of integers over a finite field involves an array of arithmetic circuits configured to input a-limbs, d-limbs, and r-limbs. The array determines an intermediate term, Z, having z-limbs 0 through Kby determining respective sets of intermediate z-limbs 0 through K- 1 for r-limbs i for i = 0 to K - 1, and summing corresponding ones of the intermediate z-limbs of sets i through K - 1. The arithmetic circuits determine for r-limb 0, intermediate z-limbs 0 through K - 1 of set 0 as products of r-limb 0 and a-limbs 0 through K - 1, and for the remaining r-limbs determines intermediate z-limbs using different combinations of a-limbs, r-limbs, modulus, and d-limbs. A modulo circuit computes G as (most significant M bits of Z* m) + (least significant Q bits of Z, wherein M is a number of bits by which a number of bits of Z exceeds N, and Q is equal to M + ceil (log2 m), and increases G by m if bits Q through N - 1 of Z all having bit value one, and G ? 2Q - m.

  • Patent number: 11082067
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a code generation mechanism (FIG. 3, 301) in a Polar encoder (FIG. 2, 204) to determine a bit type (FIG. 3, 312) corresponding to each coded bit in the Polar code before sending the data bits for encoding (FIG. 3, 303). For example, each bit in the Polar code is determined to have a bit type of a frozen bit, parity bit, an information bit, or a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bit based at least on the respective reliability index of the bit from a pre-computed reliability index lookup table (FIG. 4A, 411). In this way, the bit type determination can be completed in one loop by iterating the list of entries in the pre-computed reliability index lookup table.
