  • Patent number: 10911284
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums which optimize one or more metrics of a communication system by intentionally changing symbols in a bitstream after encoding by an error correction coder, but prior to transmission. The symbols may be changed to meet a communication metric optimization goal, such as decreasing a high PAPR, reducing an error rate, reducing an average power level (to save battery), or altering some other communication metric. The symbol that is intentionally changed is then detected by the receiver as an error and corrected by the receiver utilizing the error correction coding.

  • Patent number: 10903874
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for supporting coexistence of multiple technologies in a Power Line Communication (PLC) network are disclosed. A long coexistence preamble sequence may be transmitted by a device that has been forced to back off the PLC channel multiple times. The long coexistence sequence provides a way for the device to request channel access from devices on the channel using other technology. The device may transmit a data packet after transmitting the long coexistence preamble sequence. A network duty cycle time may also be defined as a maximum allowed duration for nodes of the same network to access the channel. When the network duty cycle time occurs, all nodes will back off the channel for a duty cycle extended inter frame space before transmitting again. The long coexistence preamble sequence and the network duty cycle time may be used together.

The controller is configured to: receive an OFDM signal; apply a maximum likelihood estimator to the received OFDM signal to identify a data symbol that provides a smooth channel response; and estimate the channel impulse response by performing a division or reverse convolution operation between the received OFDM signal and the identified data symbol. The vehicle can use the estimated channel impulse response to decode data symbols from future instances of the OFDM signal.

  • Patent number: 10848190
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a receiving device for handling signalling in a wireless communication network. The receiving device measures a strength, or a complex amplitude, of one or more signals over a signal path to a transmitting device, which measured strength or complex amplitude forms a signal pattern over a time. Furthermore, the receiving device matches the signal pattern with a stored signal pattern and, if the signal pattern matches the stored signal pattern, the receiving device determines whether an object will block the signal path between the receiving device and the transmitting device.

  • Patent number: 10848355
    Abstract: Cognitive radios by dynamically detecting available channels and changing their transmission or reception parameters allow increased concurrent wireless communications within a given spectrum band. It would be beneficial for such cognitive radios to exploit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and accordingly establishing a spectrum monitoring technique suitable for OFDM-based cognitive radios an essential element for this. The inventors have established a technique allowing for the detection of the reappearance of the primary user within a reception period within an OFDM-based cognitive radio network and beneficially does so quickly without requiring received bit decoding and allows for different signal chain impairments to be considered. Further, the technique is applicable to address other important OFDM challenges for cognitive radios such as power leakage as well as extending the embodiments of the invention to multiple antenna systems.

  • Patent number: 10848269
    Abstract: An optical transmitter device includes a digital signal processor (DSP) having digital hardware. The DSP is operative to generate shaped bits from a first set of information bits, and to apply a systematic forward error correction (FEC) scheme to encode the shaped bits and a second set of information bits, where the first set of information bits and the second set of information bits are disjoint sets. Unshaped bits and the shaped bits are mapped to selected symbols or are used to select symbols from one or more constellations. The selected symbols are mapped to physical dimensions. Each unshaped bit is either one of the second set of information bits or one of multiple parity bits resulting from the FEC encoding. In this manner, a target spectral efficiency is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10841064
    Abstract: A transmitting UE schedules radio frequency resources for use in a data transmission. The transmitting UE determines the transmission bandwidth, subject to certain restrictions, such as allowed DFT sizes for the UE for a data transmission. The determination may be performed through autonomous resource selection operations and/or may be performed using information received through signaling received from the network node as part of a scheduling grant. The UE further determines the ALLOCATED BANDWIDTH. The ALLOCATED BANDWIDTH can be determined based on the TRANSMISSION BANDWIDTH, which has been determined, using a defined rule. Furthermore, the UE generates and transmits toward a receiving UE a scheduling assignment (SA) that indicates the number or the set of subchannels that are within, and conform to, the ALLOCATED BANDWIDTH which was determined. The UE can then perform the data transmission using the SA indicated number or set of subchannels.
