  • Publication number: 20240195474
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a beamforming solution for FDD MIMO communication. A first device receives a reference signal from a second device in a first channel, and determines a covariance matrix associated with the first channel. The first device determines a set of beamforming vectors from the covariance matrix based on the number of dominant angles of arrival associated with the reference signal and the number of beams associated with the set of beamforming vectors, and performs a transmission to the second device based on the set of beamforming vectors in a second channel. In this way, beamforming vectors can be calculated from the transformed channel covariance matrix with the angular spread and imperfect reciprocity considered.

  • Patent number: 11963970
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a preparation method of ginseng composition with high ginsenoside bioavailability. The composition is composed of ginseng powder of 250 meshes or more and ?-cyclodextrin, and the mass ratio of the ginseng powder to the ?-cyclodextrin is 1:0.05. Results show that when ?-cyclodextrin is used as a solid dispersant and added to the 1000-mesh ginseng powder at a mass ratio of 5%, the total dissolution amount is maximum; and furthermore, animal experiments (SD rats) show that the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC0-48 h) after 48 h of ginseng powder ingestion is maximum, indicating that in-vivo bioavailability of the ginseng powder is the highest. The method of this application can effectively inhibit the aggregation of the ultra-finely pulverized 1000-mesh ginseng powder by adding the ?-cyclodextrin, thus significantly improving the total dissolution amount of ginsenoside.
