Publication number: 20250103861Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to training a node of a two-sided model. When a new user equipment (UE) side node is added to a two-sided model, training information representing a trained model is received (e.g., from the network side). An encoder model for the UE is trained based at least in part on the training information and, once trained, the UE transmits data encoded at the UE using the trained encoder model. When a new network (e.g., base station) side node is added to the two-sided model, training information associated with one or more UEs is received. A decoder model for the base station is trained based at least in part on the training information and, once trained, the base station uses the trained decoder model to decode data encoded at and received from UE.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte.

Publication number: 20250021881Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to training dataset updates. A training dataset is partitioned into multiple dataset groups and each dataset group includes one or more training datapoints. Each dataset group is associated with a first label and a second label. The first label corresponds to a temporal or time-domain related parameter, such as a time stamp or a time duration. The second label is at least one of a weight or a value associated with a characteristic of the dataset. The training dataset is updated based on at least one of the first label or the second label, such as by updating a subset of values of the second label, removing a dataset group, or adding a new dataset group to the training dataset. Updated information corresponding to the updated training dataset can then be sent from one device to another.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte.

Patent number: 10181923Abstract: A method and apparatus is for generating a modulation signal that comprises a resource block. A resource element sequence, Mnp, of M pilot symbols is determined that corresponds to an nth of N subcarriers. A pilot frequency domain sample sequence, rnp, corresponding to the resource element sequence Mnp comprises a quantity, RnNZ, of non-zero magnitude pilot frequency domain samples. RnNZ is determined based on M and an excess bandwidth, ?, of an adjacent subcarrier filter. The resource element sequence Mnp, which has no inter-subcarrier interference, is multiplexed with N?1 resource element sequences to form the resource block. The modulation signal is generated by modulating each subcarrier of the N subcarriers with a corresponding resource element sequence of the N resource element sequences and filtering each of the modulated subcarriers using a subcarrier filter. The resource element sequence Mnp is used during receiving for efficiently determining a channel estimate.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Vahid Pourahmadi, Vijay Nangia

Patent number: 10075954Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for using band-limited subframes in wireless communication networks are provided. During the band-limited subframes, the macro cell base station may mute its transmission or transmit at a low power over some frequency sub-band, while transmitting at a normal or higher power over other frequency sub-band. Correspondingly, the small cell base station may communicate with UEs within its coverage at the frequency sub-band that the macro cell base station transmits at a low power. The band-limited subframe enables the small cell base station to communicate with the UE with reduced interference, and in the meantime, increases the throughput of macro cell base station as it does not require the macro cell base station to completely mute its transmission during the band-limited subframe.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Blackberry LimitedInventors: Vahid Pourahmadi, Yongkang Jia, Yi Song, Siva Dharshan Muruganathan, Yufei Wu Blankenship, Hua Xu, Robert Mark Harrison, Shiwei Gao, Masoud Ebrahimi Tazeh Mahalleh
