  • Patent number: 12101635
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an access point (AP) capable of simultaneously capturing both wireless data traffic and wired data traffic and mirroring the captured data traffic to a communication port on the AP. The AP includes a data mirroring circuit to capture the wireless data traffic and/or wired data traffic and mirror the captured data traffic to the communication port so that the captured data is transferred to an external device (e.g., a USB flash drive) connected to the communication port. In some examples, to enable the capturing and mirroring of the data traffic, the AP includes a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver captures the wireless data traffic and the wired data traffic transmitted and received by a data processing circuit of the AP, and the transmitter transmits the captured data traffic to the communication port to store the captured data traffic in the external device.

  • Patent number: 11695612
    Abstract: A faulted message element in 5G or 6G can often be identified according to its modulation parameters, including a large deviation of the branch amplitudes from the predetermined amplitude levels of the modulation scheme, and/or the SNR of the branch amplitudes, and/or an amplitude variation of the raw signal or the branches during the message element, and/or an inconsistency between the modulation state as determined by the amplitude and phase of the raw waveform versus the amplitudes of the orthogonal branch signals, among other measures of modulation quality. An AI model may be necessary to correlate the various quality measures, and optionally to determine the correct demodulation of faulted message elements. Costly, time-consuming retransmissions may be avoided by determining the correct demodulation of each message element at the receiver, thereby improving throughput and reliability with fewer delays.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Described is a method for providing a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) in a wireless communication system. The method comprises transmitting, by a base station to a plurality of mobile devices, the PTRS in a wide beam transmission at a first power level. The first power level is set such that at least some of the mobile devices receive the PTRS with a sufficiently high signal strength to enable the PTRS to be correctly received and such that at least some of the mobile devices receive the PTRS with a sufficiently low signal strength to enable the PTRS to be processed as manageable interference. A first mobile device may estimate the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the received PTRS, and transmit, to the base station, feedback information based on the estimated SINR.

  • Patent number: 11349966
    Abstract: An example according to the present disclosure relates to a technique for identifying a wireless LAN (WLAN) packet. For example, when a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) includes a legacy signal field, a field contiguous to the legacy signal field may be used to identify a type of the PPDU. A field contiguous to the legacy signal field may include information indicating that the PPDU is an extreme high throughput (EHT) PPDU. The field contiguous to the legacy signal field may include at least one of information related to a frame format, a transmission opportunity, an STA ID, and/or a bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 11343820
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of resource allocation for wireless communication are presented. In an example, a user equipment may contain radio circuitry and processing circuitry such that the user equipment is configured to obtain a set of multiple indices, where each index in the set of multiple indices corresponds to a different uplink resource allocation from a set of uplink resource allocations formed from twelve contiguous subcarriers. In an aspect, the set of uplink resource allocations includes an allocation of the twelve contiguous subcarriers, two allocations of six contiguous subcarriers, four allocations of three contiguous subcarriers, and twelve allocations of a single subcarrier. In a further aspect, the user equipment can receive an index indication corresponding to an index from the set of multiple indices from the base station. Also, the user equipment can transmit data to the base station using the resource allocation corresponding to the received index indication.

  • Patent number: 11283658
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for phased-based pre-carrier signal detection in a communication system are described. In embodiments, inphase and quadrature (IQ) data is generated from a received signal. A current phase delta value is determined from the IQ data and combined with existing phase delta value, such as an averaged phase delta value, which is compared with a threshold value to determine if a pre-carrier signal in the received signal has ended.

  • Patent number: 11277786
    Abstract: A system facilitating compact signaling design for reserved resource configuration via a multi-dimensional bitmap is provided for a wireless communication system. A method comprises: determining a multi-dimensional bitmap (MDB) in time and frequency domains, wherein the time domain is represented by an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol and the frequency domain is represented by an OFDM subcarrier. The determining comprises: selecting a group of reserved resource allocations of the MDB in which data information is not to be communicated; assigning a first value for the OFDM multiplexed symbol and the OFDM subcarrier according to a location of elements of the group of reserved resource allocations; and assigning, to other portions of the MDB other than the group of reserved resource allocations, a second value distinct from the first value. The method also comprises facilitating, by the device, transmitting the MDB to a mobile device.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to downlink (DL) control channel communications are provided. A wireless communication device identifies a search space set including a plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces for a downlink control channel. The wireless communication device determines that a first resource associated with a first PDCCH candidate search space of the plurality of PDCCH candidate search spaces overlaps with a preconfigured resource. The wireless communication device monitors for a downlink control message over the downlink control channel by excluding monitoring in at least the first PDCCH candidate search space based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 11212151
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Pre-discrete Fourier transform (DFT) time-domain spreading codes may be applied for UE multiplexing for uplink control information (e.g., over shared resources of an uplink slot). For example, a moderate number of UEs may be multiplexed within the same slot by having each UE spread modulation symbols before DFT-spreading by different spreading code. For orthogonality across UEs, the pre-DFT spreading codes may be selected as orthogonal cover codes (OCCs). The spreading sequences can be generated from a set of any orthogonal sequences or generated from unitary matrices. In some cases, orthogonality in the time domain may be kept as well as a frequency division multiplexed (FDM) structure in the frequency domain. For such property, a Fourier basis OCC design may be used. In some other examples, a Hadamard matrix based OCC design may be used.
