  • Patent number: 11916704
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11860812
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11726865
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for bit and signal level mapping are described to enable a memory device to transmit or receive a multi-symbol signal that includes more than two (2) physical levels. Some cyclic redundancy check (CRC) calculations generate one or more bits of CRC output per symbol of an associated signal and the output are transmitted via a multi-symbol signal by converting one or more CRC output bit to a physical level of the signal. The conversion, or mapping, process is performed such that the physical levels of the signal avoid a transition between a highest physical level and lowest physical level. For example, a modulation scheme or mapping process is configured to map different values of CRC output bits to different physical levels, where the different physical levels are separated by one other physical level associated with the signal or the modulation scheme.

The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the converted input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 11368348
    Abstract: A signal transmission method and apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem that because a PAPR of a signal is comparatively high, a waveform distortion of the signal is comparatively serious after power amplification is performed on the signal by using a PA. The method includes: separately performing phase rotation on M pieces of modulated data to obtain M pieces of phase-rotated data, where a phase factor for performing phase rotation on the M pieces of modulated data is determined based on M. The method further includes: determining time domain data based on the M pieces of phase-rotated data, and sending the time domain data to a receive end.

  • Patent number: 11336586
    Abstract: A method for communicating in real-time to users of a provider of Internet access service, without requiring any installation or set-up by the user, that utilizes the unique identification information automatically provided by the user during communications for identifying the user to provide a fixed identifier which is then communicated to a redirecting device. Messages may then be selectively transmitted to the user. The system is normally transparent to the user, with no modification of its content along the path. Content then may be modified or replaced along the path to the user. For the purposes of establishing a reliable delivery of bulletin messages from providers to their users, the system forces the delivery of specially-composed World Wide Web browser pages to the user, although it is not limited to that type of data.

  • Patent number: 11294886
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11265126
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11265031
    Abstract: 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.
