Patent number: 10721017Abstract: A method is disclosed performed by a second transceiver (140) of a packet based wireless communication network (100) for wireless communication with a first transceiver (130) of the network. The method comprises receiving, from the first transceiver (130), a data sequence comprising a first data field comprising data coded with a first modulation and coding scheme, MCS, and a second data field comprising data coded with a second MCS different from the first MCS, wherein the second transceiver (140) has information indicating that the data of the first data field is coded with the first MCS and the data of the second data field is coded with the second MCS. The method further comprises performing a decoding operation on the data of the first data field using the first MCS and a decoding operation on the data of the second data field using the second MCS, and selecting the first MCS or the second MCS based on a result of the performed decoding operations.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Dennis Sundman, Miguel Lopez, Nafiseh Shariati

Patent number: 10440748Abstract: A first communications device 102 and a method therein for transmitting data to a second communications device 104 on a sub-channel. The first device performs carrier sensing on a first sub-channel assigned an unknown occupancy state. When the first sub-channel is determined as being vacant, the first device transmits, to the second device, the data on the first sub-channel. When the first sub-channel is determined as being occupied, the first device assigns the first sub-channel an occupied state, starts a first time period associated with the first sub-channel, and performs carrier sensing on a second sub-channel assigned with the unknown occupancy state. When the second sub-channel is determined as being vacant, the first device transmits, to the second device, the data on the second sub-channel. In absence of the second sub-channel assigned an unknown occupancy state, the first device enters an inactive mode until the first time period has expired.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Dennis Sundman, Miguel Lopez, Thomas Nilsson, Nafiseh Shariati

Patent number: 10305711Abstract: A method for modulating and coding a data packet comprising digitally encoded information. The method comprises selecting a hierarchy of modulation and coding schemes to use for modulation and coding of the digitally encoded information. The method also comprises identifying, among the bits in the digitally encoded information and based on the selected hierarchy of modulation and coding schemes, two sets of data, a first set of data and a second set of data, the second set of data being a sub-set of the first set of data and comprising bits different from the most robust bits of the first set of data. The method further comprises performing modulation and coding of the first set of data using a modulation and coding scheme with high order modulation in order to create a first layer of the data packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Leif Wilhelmsson, Miguel Lopez, Nafiseh Shariati, Dennis Sundman

Publication number: 20180287778Abstract: A receiving node 202 and a method therein for estimating a time synchronization position m0 of a signal received from a transmitting node 204. The receiving node r1w receives a first signal ? from the transmitting node, wherein the first signal comprises a first training signal t1n. The first training signal is known to the receiving and transmitting nodes. The receiving node performs a non-linear transformation of the first signal r1w resulting in a first non-linearly transformed signal r?,r?, and a non-linear transformation of the first training signal resulting in a second non-linearly transformed signal t?,t?. Further, the receiving node performs a cross-correlation of the first non-linearly transformed signal and the second non-linearly transformed signal. The receiving node estimates the time synchronization position of the first signal based on the cross-correlation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2015Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Dennis Sundman, Miguel Lopez, Nafiseh Shariati
