  • Patent number: 11811526
    Abstract: A method of joint encoding schemes with interleaver and tone mapper for multiple-resource unit (multi-RU) operation involves performing joint encoding of a plurality of information bits to generate a plurality of encoded bit sequences. The method also involves processing the plurality of encoded bit sequences by interleaving and tone mapping the encoded bit sequences with respect to a plurality of resource units (RUs) on either or both of an aggregate-RU basis and an individual-RU basis to generate a plurality of processed bit sequences. The method further involves transmitting the plurality of processed bit sequences over the plurality of RUs.

  • Publication number: 20230354195
    Abstract: Systems and methods of transmitting and receiving a Wake-Up Radio (WUR) packet by using a simplified preamble structure that contains no training field. The preamble carries a signature sequence selected from a set of predefined sequences, each corresponding to a different data transmission rate. The preamble and the control information of the WUR packet are transmitted in the same rate as indicated by the selected sequence. Hence, a receiving WUR can determine the data transmission rate and locate the associated control information directly if a sequence that matches a predefined signature sequence is detected. The same sequence or in combination with an additional sequence in the preamble may also be used to indicate automatic gain control synchronization, packet type and other related information.

  • Publication number: 20230336964
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for triggering of device inventory discovery. The system may electronically listen to one or more event streaming data sources for identification information about new devices on the network. In response to receiving identification information about a new device on the network resulting from the listening, the system triggers a separate network discovery tool to electronically interrogate the new device over the network using the identification information to obtain additional information about the new device. Based on the triggering of the network discovery tool, the system receives the additional information from the network discovery tool about the new device on the network.

  • Publication number: 20230333865
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards an intelligent user interface for interrelated services. The data-rich ecosystem of a telecommunication service provider's wireless network is leveraged in creative and intuitive ways to bring data points to users' fingertips how they need it and when they need it. A single pane of glass is made up of selectable and controllable user interface elements that paint a larger picture together of the telecommunication service provider's network and individual components thereof. For example, the system may electronically provide a plurality of software services, each having a respective user interface (UI), and electronically orchestrate, at a service orchestration layer, the plurality of software services such that when any one service of the plurality of services is used, usage of the one service automatically affects what data is presented or how the data is presented in one or more respective user interfaces of other services of the plurality of services.

  • Publication number: 20230336435
    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for model-based inventory of wireless telecommunication networks. In response to receiving information regarding network components or connectivity as system components are implemented (e.g., installed and/or activated), the system may electronically compare the received information to a model previously built according to the current standards of the telecommunication service provider, such as a mobile network operator (MNO) for the wireless telecommunication network, and then electronically determine whether there exists a discrepancy between the received information regarding network components or connectivity and the model based on the comparison. An action may then be performed based on the determination of whether there exists a discrepancy, such as sending an alert or taking other corrective action.

  • Publication number: 20230316081
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new type of generalized artificial neural network where neurons and synapses maintain multiple states. While classical gradient-based backpropagation in artificial neural networks can be seen as a special case of a two-state network where one state is used for activations and another for gradients with update rules derived from the chain rule, example implementations of the generalized framework proposed herein may additionally: have neither explicit notion of nor ever receive gradients; contain more than two states; and/or implement or apply learned (e.g., meta-learned) update rules that control updates to the state(s) of the neuron during forward and/or backward propagation of information.
