Patent number: 11916704Abstract: Techniques are described for pre-equalization at the demodulator of a satellite receiver terminal to compensate for forward link distortions. Some satellite channel filters can manifest distortions, such as asymmetric group delay response. Such distortions can conventionally force restriction of symbol rate only to the portion of the channel bandwidth having a symmetric filter response. Embodiments include a pre-equalizer in the demodulation path that filters received downlink communications based on a set of pre-equalizer filter coefficients computed to at least partially compensate for the channel filter distortions. Some embodiments support updating the filter coefficients based on channel reassignments, and/or dynamically updating the filter coefficients based on detecting and exploiting pre-equalization frames. The pre-equalized sample stream can facilitate reliable decoding by the demodulator with an appreciably increased symbol rate and correspondingly increased forward link capacity.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventor: Bala Subramaniam

Patent number: 11860812Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems and methods for performing link training using stored and retrieved equalization parameters obtained from a previous equalization procedure. As part of a link training sequence, links interconnecting an upstream port with a downstream port and with any intervening retimers, can undergo an equalization procedure. The equalization parameter values from each system component, including the upstream port, downstream port, and retimer(s) can be stored in a nonvolatile memory. During a subsequent link training process, the equalization parameter values stored in the nonvolatile memory can be written to registers associated with the upstream port, downstream port, and retimer(s) to be used to operate the interconnecting links. The equalization parameter values can be used instead of performing a new equalization procedure or can be used as a starting point to reduce latency associated with equalization procedures.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Inventor: Debendra Das Sharma

Patent number: 11294886Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for fixing anomalies in a preserved data structure used to generate a temporary data structure during system initialization. A preserved data structure in persistent storage is used to build a temporary data structure in a memory of the computing system during initialization of the computing system. The temporary data structure represents computational resources in the computing system and is rebuilt from the preserved data structure during the initialization. The preserved data structure and the temporary data structure are processed to determine whether the preserved data structure includes at least one anomaly that would result in rebuilding the temporary data structure with an error. Information on the preserved data structure and the temporary data structure having the anomaly are processed to determine modifications to correct the preserved data structure. The determined modifications are processed to correct the preserved data structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew G. Borlick, Lokesh M. Gupta, Clint A. Hardy

Patent number: 11265126Abstract: A set of different pilot structures are designed for use in different environments and/or different user behaviours that are expected to occur in a cell. The radio conditions for a user are estimated. Each user is then assigned an area (108A-E) in resource space for its communication, which has a suitable pilot configuration. In one embodiment, the entire resource space is provided with different pilot structures in different parts (110A-D). In advance and allocation of resources to the users are then performed in order to match estimated radio conditions to the provided pilot structure. In another embodiment, allocation is performed first, and then the actual pilot structure is adapted within the allocated resource space area to suit the environmental conditions.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Johan Nyström, Pàl Frenger, Erik Dahlman, Svante Signell, Göran Klang

Patent number: 11265031Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for removing any fixed frequency interfering signal from an input signal without introducing artifacts that are not part of the original signal of interest. An embodiment operates by using a virtual buffer with a length that matches a length of one cycle of an interfering signal. The embodiment extracts the interfering signal into the virtual buffer. For a sample in the next cycle of the interfering signal that corresponds to a virtual memory location for the virtual buffer, the embodiment can update one or more physical memory locations of the virtual buffer that are in the vicinity of the virtual memory location. This use of virtual buffer can remove any interfering signal without creating the artifacts associated with conventional notch filters.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: BioSig Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Budimir S. Drakulic, Sina Fakhar, Thomas G. Foxall, Branislav Vlajinic
