Patents by Inventor Thomas Guerena

Thomas Guerena 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).

  • Publication number: 20240007331
    Abstract: In some aspects, there is provided a method. The method may include estimating, based on a first signal-phase in a plurality of signal-phases associated with an input signal, a first channel impulse response; estimating, based on a second signal-phase in the plurality of signal-phases, a second channel impulse response; selecting, based on at least one characteristic of the estimated first channel impulse response and the estimated second channel impulse response, a signal-phase from the plurality of signal-phases; equalizing, based on the selected signal phase, the input signal to produce an equalized signal; and outputting, to a symbol detector, the equalized signal. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230362669
    Abstract: In some aspects, there is provided a method. The method may include selecting a first antenna coupled to a first transceiver at a first vehicle; determining a configuration of a first beam pattern emanated by the first antenna; and reconfiguring, based on the configuration of the first beam pattern and a beam tracking packet, the first antenna to provide a beam tracking of the first beam pattern. The first beam pattern may be associated with a wireless communication link to an object proximate to the first vehicle, which may be a second vehicle or a stationary object. Reconfiguring the first antenna may be further based on a steering angle associated with the first antenna and a distance between the first vehicle and the object proximate to the first vehicle.
