  • Patent number: 10649067
    Abstract: A wideband simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) subsystem for a radar or communications system including self-interference cancellation and external noise cancellation. The STAR subsystem includes a canceller circuit which digitally prepares a cancellation signal to cancel out leaked or reflected portions of the transmit signal and correlated noise in the receiver signal. The self-interference cancellation can be adaptively configured in a closed-loop mode, and operated open loop in real time to minimize bandwidth limitations and achieve wideband performance. The STAR subsystem also includes an external noise active canceller which greatly diminishes high-power external noise in the receiver signal. The external noise canceller digitally synthesizes a cancellation signal which dramatically improves the signal-to-noise ratio in the receiver. Together, the combined cancellation techniques prevent receiver saturation and preserve receiver sensitivity.

  • Patent number: 10200894
    Abstract: Interference management methods are proposed to facilitate multi-cell, multi-user millimeter wave cellular networks. One method includes a feedback approach in which a base station (BS) device collects information from mobile devices in the cell operated by the BS device and other BS devices in other cells. Each mobile device feeds back a best beams set and a worst interference beams set to its serving BS device and the information is shared amongst other BS devices in the network. According to the information, BS devices implement a beam selection criterion to select a beam for downlink transmission. To reduce feedback cost, another method leverages the channel reciprocity in time division duplexing to use the measured uplink power and interference information to select the narrow beam for downlink transmission. The BS device selects the narrow beam that establishes a reliable channel and reduces interference to mobile devices in neighboring cells.

  • Patent number: 10187478
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for dynamic detection of inactive virtual private network clients. Specifically, a network device receives periodic messages from a first device at a first interval, and determines a timeout value for the first device based at least on the first interval, at which the periodic messages are received from the first device. Subsequent to determining the timeout value, the network device detects that a message has not been received from the first device for a period of time corresponding to the timeout value for the first device. The network device then terminates at least one connection with the first device responsive to determining that no message has been received from the first device for the period of time corresponding to the timeout value for the first device.

  • Patent number: 10178588
    Abstract: A method performed by a first wireless device for handling a device-to-device (D2D) communication with a second wireless device during handover of the first wireless device from a source network node to a target network node in a wireless telecommunications network is provided. The first wireless device interrupts the D2D communication. Then, the first wireless device determines a first uplink timing difference as the difference between the uplink timing to the source network node and the uplink timing to the target network node. Further, the first wireless device reconfigures the D2D communication based on the first uplink timing difference. Then, the first wireless device restarts the D2D communication as reconfigured. A first wireless device is also provided, along with a target network node, a source network node and methods therein for handling a D2D communication.
