Patents by Inventor PETER ODERO AKUON

PETER ODERO AKUON has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11258491
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method of conveying information from a sender to a receiver by use of various codeword patterns given in a mapping table and detection through decoding via the reverse mapping process. The codeword patterns may be selected as combinations of bits, frequencies, ports, or other elements as desired. Associated systems for carrying out the described encoding methods are also provided. The various methods may be applicable in low transmit power, energy-saving, secure, low latency, storage and in military, mobile, optical, deep space and fixed telecommunication systems for long range transmission and reliable information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10224998
    Abstract: This invention relates to decorrelation of signals in order to improve coding gains of wireless communications. To this end a branch signal processor includes a summer to determine a sum of a first branch signal and a second branch signal to produce a sum signal. A conjugate swapper to determine a conjugate swap of the first branch signal and a conjugate swap of the second branch signal to produce two swapped signals, wherein the conjugate swapper takes an imaginary part of the first branch signal to become a real part and a real part of the first branch signal to become an imaginary part of a new complex signal which new complex signal becomes a first swapped signal, and wherein the conjugate swapper takes an imaginary part of the second branch signal to become a real part and a real part of the second branch signal to become an imaginary part of a second complex signal which second complex signal becomes a second swapped signal.

  • Publication number: 20180269944
    Abstract: A system and method for multiple rank modulation transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) or Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) system is provided. The method includes receiving at a transmitter, a signal with a plurality of bits and separating the received signal into a rank index bit block and a signal modulation bit block. The signal modulation bit block is encoded in a signal modulation scheme for transmission. The rank index bit block is used to select a rank to be activated, wherein the activated rank contains at least one active transmitter antenna and the encoded signal modulation bit block is transmitted via the activated rank being at least one activated transmitter antenna. The transmitted encoded signal modulation bit block is received via the receive antenna and a receiver a rank index and a transmitted symbol estimated from the received signal. The signal modulation bit block is finally decoded.
