  • Patent number: 11910322
    Abstract: A limited-function, low-power wakeup receiver is based on frequency shift keying (FSK), avoiding the inherent problems of AM demodulation such as non-linearity of the amplitude detector. The FSK detector is easily realized in the digital domain. Due to the time discrete nature of FSK signals, the detector has a periodic response in frequency, allowing the signal to be demodulated at different offsets from the center frequency. The relaxed accuracy demands on the local oscillator frequency avoid the need for a power-hungry phase locked loop (PLL) circuit. To avoid potential loss if a signal coincides with one of the regular sensitivity nulls, the network at least occasionally transmits an FSK wakeup signal at a slightly shifted frequency, so at least one of the FSK wakeup signals will be received. Transmitting multiple frequency-shifted signals improves the likelihood of reception.

  • Patent number: 11901931
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may filter leaked power from a signal to accurately perform antenna compensation operations (e.g., apply a transmit gain, perform cable loss measurements) using valid power. A switch at the UE may leak power to an antenna for a transmission, and the UE may use a dynamic filtering algorithm to determine whether a pulse power of a detected signal is leaked or valid. The dynamic filtering algorithm may be able to account for variations in leaked power values, as leaked power may increase or decrease proportionally to intended power (e.g., from which power was leaked). By determining whether pulse power is leaked or valid, the UE may be able to filter out the leaked power and accurately perform antenna compensation operations such as applying a transmit gain for a transmission, performing a cable loss measurement, or the like.

The first set of proposed base stations are updated based on the first modeled spectral interference values to obtain a second set of proposed base stations. First empirical spectral interference values are then obtained for a first proper subset of the second set of proposed base stations. The first empirical spectral interference values are compared with the modeled spectral interference values and the second set of proposed base stations are updated based on the comparison.
