    Abstract: A resource allocation method is applied to a communication system based on massive MIMO. The method includes: A donor eNodeB detects whether a target terminal exists in a donor cell, where a correlation between a wireless air interface channel of the target terminal and a wireless air interface channel of a relay node is greater than a target threshold; and if the target terminal does not exist, the donor eNodeB determines, for the relay node through resource spatial multiplexing, one or more beams used for data backhaul, where the one or more beams are beams formed by a massive antenna array of the donor eNodeB through air interface beamforming.

  • Publication number: 20220255590
    Abstract: Wi-Fi communication is further secured by perturbation of a spatial mapping matrix. In an embodiment channel state information is obtained from a receiving device in a wireless network through the wireless network. A first set of beam steering vectors is derived based on the channel state information to direct a radio signal to the receiving device. A second set of beam steering vectors is derived based on the channel state information to direct a radio signal other than to the receiving device. A perturbation matrix is generated. A spatial mapping matrix is formed by combining the first and the second set of beam steering vectors with a perturbation matrix. Data symbols to be transmitted are pre-coded to the receiving device using the spatial mapping matrix and transmitted through the wireless network to the receiving device.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method performed by a BBU system of a wireless communication network, comprising a distributed base station system (100), which comprises a BBU (110) and an RRU (120) connected over a fronthaul link (140). The method comprises determining first and second parts of beamforming weights based on a determined downlink channel estimate, and compressing the second part of the beamforming weights. The first part of the beamforming weights is determined for performing interference cancellation between user-layer signals, and the second part is determined for expanding the user-layer signals to antenna signals. The BBU then sends the first part and the compressed second part of the beamforming weights to the RRU, as well as the user-layer signals, over the fronthaul link (140). The RRU (120) then beamforms the user-layer signals according to the first and the second parts of the beamforming weights before sending the signals to a number of UEs (131, 132, 133).

    Abstract: Provided are M signal processors that respectively generate modulated signals for M reception apparatuses (where M is an integer equal to 2 or greater), a multiplexing signal processor, and N antenna sections (where N is an integer equal to 1 or greater). When transmitting multiple streams, each of the M signal processors generates two mapped signals, generates first and second precoded signals by precoding the two mapped signals, periodically changes the phase of signal points in the IQ plane with respect to the second precoded signal, outputs the phase-changed signal, and outputs the first precoded signal and the phase-changed second precoded signal as two modulated signals. When transmitting a single stream, each of the M signal processor outputs a single modulated signal. The multiplexing signal processor multiplexes the modulated signals output from the M signal processors, and generates N multiplexed signals. The N antenna sections respectively transmit the N multiplexed signals.

Based on such information, line losses at different wavelengths are determined and then compared in order to detect an optical network condition, such as a fiber bend. Since the measurements can be performed on optical data signals ordinarily communicated between the OLT and the ONTs, the testing may be performed during data communication. Further, as long as optical communication between the OLT and the ONTs is possible, a fiber bend or other network condition may be detected at any point along the optical path.

  • Publication number: 20220255629
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that perform coarse chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation by applying precomputed coarse front-end equalizer (FEE) tap weights to a receiver based on an assumed propagation distance. After a waiting period, the FEE tap weights are applied, and it is determined whether the FEE tap weights cause a decision-directed tracking of channel rotations to satisfy a stability metric. In response to the stability metric not being satisfied, the assumed propagation distance is adjusted and used to obtain updated FEE tap weights. Conversely, if the stability metric is satisfied, a fine CD compensation is performed that comprises maintaining the updated FEE tap weights; performing an iterative least-mean-squared (LMS) error adaption to adjust Back-End Equalizer (BEE) tap weights and obtain updated BEE tap weights; and using the updated BEE tap weights to adjust the FEE tap weights to, ultimately, have the BEE output an equalized data bit stream.

  • Publication number: 20220255632
    Abstract: A photonic-based microwave generator includes a mode-locked laser that generates an optical pulse train, a feedback photodiode that samples the optical pulse train, and a servo amplifier that processes the photodiode output into a servo signal. The servo signal controls the mode-locked laser to suppress relative intensity noise on the optical pulse train. The microwave generator may also include a microwave photodiode for converting the optical pulse train into a microwave signal. The microwave generator may also include a second servo amplifier that processes a low-frequency output of the microwave photodiode into a second servo signal that drives an optical modulator that modulates the optical pulse train. The microwave photodiode, optical modulator, and servo amplifier form a feedback loop that suppresses amplitude noise on the microwave signal. By reducing amplitude noise and relative intensity noise, phase noise caused by amplitude-to-phase noise conversion is minimized.
