  • Patent number: 12119917
    Abstract: A system and method are provided in which an input including a measurement output of digital channel information is received. The digital channel information includes an estimated digital channel, a beamforming codebook, and quantized angle of arrival (AoA) values. A basis corresponding to one of the quantized AoA values is selected according to a largest projection power of the measurement output. A partial channel is recovered based on the beamforming codebook and the estimated digital channel. An analog channel is recovered based on the partial channel and the basis.

  • Publication number: 20240283411
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided in which a processor of a user equipment (UE) combines loop-back signals from a plurality of antenna paths of the UE to generate a combined signal. The loop-back signals are based on a signal transmitted over the antenna paths. The processor determines power amplifier (PA) polynomials based on a comparison of the combined signal to the signal transmitted over the antenna paths. The processor generates a single look-up table (LUT) for the PA polynomials.

  • Patent number: 11870512
    Abstract: A closed-loop power control (CLPC) system is disclosed that includes a first signal path for a first polarization and a second signal path for a second polarization. The first signal path includes a first power amplifier, a first output power detector configured to detect a first output power level of the first power amplifier, and a first processor configured to determine a first analog gain for a first controller and a first gain for a first digital-to-analog converter based on a first accumulated error between the first output power level and a target Effective Isotropically Radiated Power. A second processor is configured to set a first variable gain of a first variable gain amplifier coupled to an input of the first power amplifier. The CLPC can be configured to control the gain of the first signal path separately or as one signal path.

  • Patent number: 11211994
    Abstract: Compressive sensing (CS) channel recovery using history measurements. Both current and history measurements for AoAs estimation, and only use current measurement for coefficient estimation. The dominant angle of arrival (AoA) is estimated using history and current measurements. In Approach 1, the dominant AoA is invariant and the coefficients are uncorrelated. In Approach 2, the dominant AoA is invariant and the coefficients are fully correlated. The remaining AoAs are estimated. The coefficients corresponding to each estimated dominant AoA are estimated. And the channel is recovered.

  • Patent number: 11159208
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a method of deriving an optimal precoder, in which a precoder is derived using water filling power allocation, and then is multiplied with some unitary matrix satisfying certain conditions to meet a per layer power constraint. Since the multiplication with the unitary matrix does not change the capacity, the derived precoder is optimal in achieving maximum capacity in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication scheme.
