The reproduction generator produces a reproduction from the radio frequency signal of the undesired signal at an output. The RF signal separation and suppression system also includes an electrical subtractor having a first input that is electrically connected to the output of the reproduction generator and a second input that is electrically connected to the input of the radio frequency signal separation system. An output of the subtractor generates an output radio frequency signal comprising the desired radio frequency signal and a suppressed undesired radio frequency signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Photonic Systems, Inc.Inventors: Edward I. Ackerman, Charles H. Cox

Patent number: 10132864Abstract: The present disclosure describes a novel method and apparatus for using a device's power and ground terminals as a test and/or debug interface for the device. According to the present disclosure, messages are modulated over DC voltages applied to the power terminals of a device to input test/debug messages to the device and output test/debug messages from the device. The present disclosure advantageously allows a device to be tested and/or debugged without the device having any shared or dedicated test or debug interface terminals.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventor: Lee D.

Patent number: 10129071Abstract: The present disclosure provides a symbol synchronization method and apparatus. By means of the symbol synchronization method and apparatus, a timing location is adjusted outside an adaptive loop. In addition, the adaptive loop proceeds to according to an original function of the adaptive loop. That is, the timing location is stabilized to an initial symbol-synchronization location, and the timing location is then further corrected and adjusted. Therefore, impact of an error of a timing location on symbol synchronization is eliminated by correcting the timing location, and positioning accuracy of a symbol-synchronization location is improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Xiaodong Li, Qiao Liu

Patent number: 10129883Abstract: Techniques for spread spectrum wireless over non-contiguous channels are described. In at least some embodiments, a set of channels is selected for wireless communication, with at least some of the channels being non-contiguous (e.g., non-adjacent) from one another. A spreading sequence is selected, such as based on attributes of a selected set of channels. Communication data that is to be transmitted over the set of channels is combined with the spreading sequence to generate a spread spectrum signal. The spread spectrum signal is then divided into multiple sub-signals for transmission over the set of channels.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Aref Hassan, Paul William Alexander Mitchell, Paul W.

Patent number: 10117261Abstract: A network and method for wireless communications are provided. A first network element in the network may transmit a first reservation signal to reserve a channel. The first reservation signal may at least partially overlap a second reservation signal transmitted by a second network element for channel reservation. The first network element and the second network element share the same channel. The first network element may also perform interference cancellation to cancel the second reservation signal transmitted by the second network element for carrier sensing.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jialing Liu, Fei Teng, Zhiyi Zhou, Weimin Xiao

Patent number: 10117257Abstract: Estimating uplink interference includes determining any wireless devices having available uplink resources, and instructing the wireless devices to estimate and report uplink interference. A method for estimating uplink interference in a wireless network includes determining that a wireless device attached to an access node has available resources within an uplink schedule of the wireless device, and instructing the wireless device to enter a listening mode during the available resources of the uplink schedule. In the listening mode, the wireless device determines a measurement of an uplink interference caused at the wireless device. The method further includes receiving the measurement of the uplink interference from the wireless device via an uplink channel.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Muhammad Ahsan Naim, Luca Zappaterra, Yu Zhou
