  • Patent number: 11496350
    Abstract: Conventional filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) wireless communication systems offer superior spectral properties compared to the cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) approach, at the cost of an inherent shortcoming in dispersive channels called intrinsic imaginary interference. In this disclosure the DP-FBMC system was disclosed. A DP-FBMC based communication system uses two orthogonal polarizations for wireless communication systems: dual-polarization FBMC (DP-FBMC). The system significantly suppresses FBMC intrinsic interference. For the disclosed DP-FBMC all the multicarrier techniques used in CP-OFDM systems for channel equalization etc., are applicable without using complex processing methods that are required for conventional FBMC. Disclosed DP-FBMC also is more robust in multipath fading channels, and also to receiver carrier frequency offset (CFO) and Timing offset (TO).

  • Patent number: 11153780
    Abstract: Wireless networks, such as 5G (and future 6G) networks, can recognize opportunities to enhance message performance by analyzing fault types in real-time, and selecting an appropriate mitigating modulation table accordingly. Noise patterns causing adjacent-amplitude faults and adjacent-phase faults indicate the need for different modulation schemes, while the large non-adjacent faults from pulsed external interference lead to yet a different choice. Disclosed examples show how to select an appropriate mitigating modulation table through fault analysis of failed messages. By selecting and switching to different modulation tables according to the types of message faults experienced by user messages, network operators can reduce message failure rates and increase overall throughput while reducing average delay per message, according to some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10798747
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing random access in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In general, the cellular communications network is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) based cellular communications network (e.g., a 3GPP LTE cellular communications network) or similar multi-subcarrier based cellular communications network. Random access is performed using a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) including subcarriers having a subcarrier frequency spacing that is equal to a subcarrier frequency spacing in one or more other channels of the uplink (e.g., a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)). As a result, the subcarriers in the PRACH are orthogonal to the subcarriers in the other channel(s) of the uplink, which in turn reduces, or substantially eliminates, interference between the PRACH subcarriers and the subcarriers of the other channel(s) of the uplink.

    Abstract: A framework for error correction coding that takes into account the difference in bit significance in the source symbols by using an appropriate error metric and minimizing it using a Bayes decoder and an optimized codebook. The Bayes decoder performs better than standard soft and hard minimum distance decoding and the optimized codebook performs better than classical linear block codes, e.g., Hamming codes. The error metric is a norm in information symbol space and is based on a loss function appropriately defined according to an approach for assigning significance to the various bits in the source bit stream. The Bayes decoder of this metric is defined and an optimized codebook generated that optimizes this metric under a noisy channel. The framework for error correction coding is implemented for increased reduncancy in a communications system or a data storage system and is optimized to combat noise in such systems.

On the other hand, for a short packet, the two possible values in the same field indicate whether the channel for transmitting the instant packet is currently time-variant as determined by the transmitting device.

  • Patent number: 10542506
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for obtaining an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing. The method for obtaining an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing may include initiating, by user equipment (UE), a request in a first cell to access an NB-IoT, and receiving an indication message sent by a base station. The method may also include determining, by the UE according to the indication information, an uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell. Therefore, the base station can notify the UE of the uplink-downlink carrier frequency spacing corresponding to the first cell, so that the terminal obtains a correct uplink carrier frequency.

  • Patent number: 10531400
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control part. The control part performs control to transmit a frame for requesting the transmission of data to an information processing apparatus as a destination of the data and for requesting information processing apparatuses other than the information processing apparatus as the destination to set a transmission inhibition time, the frame being transmitted with transmitting power determined on the basis of surrounding environment information regarding an environment surrounding the information processing apparatus transmitting the frame. Transmission of the frame causes the transmission inhibition time to be set over an appropriate range of information processing apparatuses. Efficiency of utilization of communication resources is improved by suitably setting a transmission inhibition time.

  • Patent number: 10524161
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a wireless communication device. A wireless communication device may receive a data frame and use it to estimate a residual channel length (RCL). The device may then modify a finite impulse response (FIR) filter based on the estimated RCL. For example, the device may add additional taps to the FIR filter. The device may continue to adjust the FIR filter until the RCL is at or near zero. In some cases, the wireless communication device may send an indication to the transmitting device to adjust an FIR filter based on the estimated RCL. In some cases, the length of a guard interval may also be adjusted based on the estimated RCL.

  • Patent number: 10404558
    Abstract: Dynamic reporting rates for a log management system are adaptively allocated. Each individual controller node device of plurality of controller nodes is initially allocated an EPS rate limit for submitting event records to a log management system (e.g., an SIEM log management system) out of a licensed EPS rate. When surges are detected, the log management system dynamically reallocates proportions of EPS rates, within the licensed EPS rate. The individual EPS rate limit for at least one collector node is adjusted in real-time for a specific controller node based on under usage by other collector nodes. Another technique is to prioritize or weight events causing the surge to determine adjustments to EPS rate.
