Patent number: 10349092Abstract: An encoder for encoding secondary media data including metadata and control data for primary media data is shown, wherein the encoder is configured to encode the secondary media data using adding redundancy or bandlimiting and wherein the encoder is configured to output the encoded secondary media data as a stream of digital words. Therefore, the stream of digital words may be formed such that it is capable to resist a typical processing of a digital audio stream. Furthermore, processors for processing a digital audio stream are able to process the stream of digital words, since the stream of digital words may be designed as an audio-like or analog-like digital stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Robert Bleidt, Tobias Bliem, Stefan Kraegeloh

Patent number: 10291459Abstract: Coding gains can be achieved by encoding binary data directly to multi-dimensional codewords, which circumvents QAM symbol mapping employed by conventional CDMA encoding techniques. Further, multiple access can be achieved by assigning different codebooks to different multiplexed layers. Moreover, sparse codewords can be used to reduce baseband processing complexity on the receiver-side of the network, as sparse codewords can be detected within multiplexed codewords in accordance with message passing algorithms (MPAs).Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hosein Nikopour, Mohammadhadi Baligh

Patent number: 10084515Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for communication in a Millimeter Wave Hotspot (mmH) backhaul system which uses mesh nodes. A mmH mesh node may receive a control signal which includes a total number of available control slots. The mesh node may determine the number of iterations of a resource scheduling mechanism that can be made during the time period of all available control slots, based on the number of neighbor nodes for the mesh node. Further, the mesh node may receive control slot information, including information about traffic queues and priorities. The mesh node may then perform resource scheduling using the resource scheduling mechanism based on the currently received control slot information and control slot information received in previous iterations of resource scheduling. The mesh node may also adjust a preamble based on a time between a last packet transmission and a current packet transmission to a neighboring node.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Steven Ferrante, Arnab Roy, Philip J.

Patent number: 10079614Abstract: In a noise canceler, interference signals received by sub-antennas 12 are cross-correlated by a first correlation-value calculation unit and the peaks of the interference signals are detected by a first peak detector. Interference signal information is acquired by a first-interference-signal information acquisition unit and the interference signals are synthesized by an interference signal synthesizer. A signal received by a main antenna and the synthesized interference signal are correlated by a second correlation-value calculation unit and the peak of the synthesized interference signal is detected by a second peak detector.
