Patent number: 10432254Abstract: A user terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives a downlink signal that is transmitted in repetitions in narrow bands to which frequency hopping is applied, and a processor that specifies a pattern of the applied frequency hopping based on a starting index that indicates a first narrow band in the narrow bands and a frequency offset that is a shift in a frequency direction from the first narrow band. The processor causes the receiver to receive the downlink signal using the specified pattern. Each of the narrow bands is a part of a system band. The user terminal communicates using the narrow bands only. The downlink signal starts being allocated to the first narrow band.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Kazuaki Takeda, Ruifeng Ma, Qin Mu, Liu Liu, Huiling Jiang

Patent number: 10389369Abstract: An apparatus is comprised of a processor, a tuning voltage generator, a tuning circuit, an amplifier, and a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The processor generates a tuning voltage command and a modulation command signal. The tuning voltage generator, coupled to the processor, receives the tuning voltage command and generates a baseline analog tuning signal based on the received tuning voltage command. The amplifier, coupled to the tuning voltage generator, receives the baseline analog tuning signal and the modulation signal, and generates a tuning signal based on the received baseline analog tuning signal and the received modulation command signal. The VCO, coupled to the amplifier, receives the tuning signal, generates a modulated radio frequency output signal based on the received tuning signal, and outputs the modulated radio frequency output signal, the modulated radio frequency output signal emulating a communication waveform.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: IXI TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Hyman, Jeffrey Norris, Joe Truong, Michael Dekoker, Anthony Aquino

Patent number: 10362574Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide for different uplink resource allocation schemes in transmissions that use different shared radio frequency spectrum bands. In some cases, the different shared radio frequency spectrum bands may have different transmission characteristics or parameters, and associated resource allocation schemes may be selected to provide transmissions that are more likely to comply with the transmission characteristics or parameters associated with a particular band. In some cases, resource allocation types may be identified based on one band and mapped to identify uplink resources for an uplink transmission on a different shared radio frequency spectrum band.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Arumugam Chendamarai Kannan, Chirag Sureshbhai Patel, Tamer Kadous

Patent number: 10225841Abstract: A distributed antenna system is provided that frequency shifts the output of one or more microcells to a 60 GHz or higher frequency range for transmission to a set of distributed antennas. The cellular band outputs of these microcell base station devices are used to modulate a 60 GHz (or higher) carrier wave, yielding a group of subcarriers on the 60 GHz carrier wave. This group will then be transmitted in the air via analog microwave RF unit, after which it can be repeated or radiated to the surrounding area. The repeaters amplify the signal and resend it on the air again toward the next repeater. In places where a microcell is required, the 60 GHz signal is shifted in frequency back to its original frequency (e.g., the 1.9 GHz cellular band) and radiated locally to nearby mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Farhad Barzegar, Donald J. Barnickel, Jr., George Blandino, Irwin Gerszberg, Paul Shala Henry, Thomas M. Willis, III

Patent number: 10148401Abstract: It is possible to provide a radio communication terminal device and a radio transmission method which can improve reception performance of a CQI and a reference signal. A phase table storage unit stores a phase table which correlates the amount of cyclic shift to complex coefficients {w1, w2} to be multiplied on the reference signal. A complex coefficient multiplication unit reads out a complex coefficient corresponding to the amount of cyclic shift indicated by resource allocation information, from the phase table storage unit and multiplies the read-out complex coefficient on the reference signal so as to change the phase relationship between the reference signals in a slot.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Sun Patent TrustInventors: Tomofumi Takata, Daichi Imamura, Seigo Nakao, Sadaki Futagi, Takashi Iwai, Yoshihiko Ogawa
