  • Patent number: 11368346
    Abstract: A constellation of many satellites and associated ground stations provide communication service to user terminals. These devices use modulation techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to send large quantities of data. For transmission, a power amplifier increases the amplitude of a waveform modulated in this way. The power amplifier operates more efficiently closer to saturation. However, operation at saturation results in nonlinear distortion, producing unwanted signals and increasing bit error rate. A set of techniques are used to reduce the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the waveform provided to the power amplifier. A distortionless technique remaps blocks of bits to reduce the resulting PAPR of that block. Additional techniques may also be progressively applied to reduce PAPR while minimizing adverse consequences such as in-band distortion, out of band emissions, increased bit error rate, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 11343052
    Abstract: A network device such as an evolved NodeB (eNB) or next generation NodeB (gNB) can configure a set of user equipment (UE) for cell reference signal (CRS) muting in order to provide better channel quality and power efficiency in communications. Where an eNB mutes CRS transmissions that are not needed by any UE, an improvement in downlink throughput and reduce connection drop rate can be generated. A CRS muting capability can be determined based on a user equipment (UE) capability information. According to the CRS muting capability of a UE, CRS muting can be generated in a physical channel outside of a narrow band (NB) or a wide band (WB) plus/minus X physical resource blocks (PRBs), wherein X is a non-negative integer, based on the CRS muting capability.

  • Patent number: 11337213
    Abstract: Example signal receiving methods and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a time-domain signal sent by a sending device. The time-domain signal is replicated to obtain N time-domain signals. N window functions are configured, where the N window functions are in a one-to-one correspondence with the N time-domain signals. An operation is performed on each of the N time-domain signals based on a corresponding window function to obtain N windowed time-domain signals. The N windowed time-domain signals are separately converted to obtain N frequency-domain signals. An RB corresponding to an interference frequency is determined. One or more RBs are selected from each of the N frequency-domain signals and are arranged in sequence based on indexes to obtain a target frequency-domain signal.
