  • Patent number: 11646913
    Abstract: Fiber, cable, and wireless data channels are typically impaired by reflectors and other imperfections, producing a channel state with echoes and frequency shifts in data waveforms. Here, methods of using pilot symbol waveform bursts to automatically produce a detailed 2D model of the channel state are presented. This 2D channel state can then be used to optimize data transmission. For wireless data channels, an even more detailed 2D model of channel state can be produced by using polarization and multiple antennas in the process. Once 2D channel states are known, the system turns imperfect data channels from a liability to an advantage by using channel imperfections to boost data transmission rates. The methods can be used to improve legacy data transmission modes in multiple types of media, and are particularly useful for producing new types of robust and high capacity wireless communications using non-legacy data transmission methods as well.

  • Patent number: 11362694
    Abstract: Aspects relate to reconstructing a received non-linearly distorted (e.g., clipped) signal. A transmitting device may non-linearly distort a signal to be transmitted (e.g., by clipping peaks of the signal). A receiving device uses a signal reconstruction procedure to reconstruct the original signal. For example, the receiving device may estimate the non-linear distortion (e.g., due to clipped peaks) in the received signal by slicing the received signal, and applying a non-linear distortion to (e.g., clipping) the sliced signal using a threshold that corresponds to a threshold (e.g., a clipping threshold) used by the transmitting device. The receiving device may thereby generate a reconstructed signal based on this estimate of the non-linear distortion.
