Patent number: 11095414Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a control channel is required in order to use limited resources effectively. However, the control channel resource is part of the system overhead, and thus reduces the data channel resource used for data transmission. In the long term evolution (LTE) system based on OFDM, one sub frame the consists of fourteen OFDM symbols wherein a maximum of three OFDM symbols are used for the control channel resource and remaining eleven OFDM symbols are used for the data channel resource. Therefore, the quantity of energy that can be transmitted for the control channel resource is extremely limited compared to the data channel resource. For this reason, the coverage of the control channel becomes less than that of the data channel, and even if a user can successfully receive the data channel, reception failure of a control channel sometimes results in failure of data recovery.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: In Ho Lee, Jin Kyu Han, Ju Ho Lee, Jae Chon Yu

Patent number: 11057249Abstract: Examples of wireless OFDM communication systems are described herein which replace pilot subcarriers having known modulation with lower dual subcarriers. At the transmitter, for each resource block, the bits that modulate a few payload subcarriers are selected and then encoded with a short dual code thereby forming dual systematic bits and dual check bits. Such selected payload subcarriers are designated as upper dual subcarriers and the dual check bits modulate the lower dual subcarriers, At the receiver, for each resource block, the dual subcarriers are phase adjusted, demodulated, decoded using the short dual code, and re-modulated thereby forming the original dual subcarrier modulation without phase noise nor channel impairments. The re-modulated dual subcarriers are compared against the received dual subcarriers for channel estimation or carrier phase-locked-loop purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Tarana Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Kelly Davidson Hawkes

Patent number: 11057226Abstract: Disclosed is electronic device configured to switch a power mode from a first mode to a second mode as a first time interval and a second time interval sequentially pass. The electronic device includes a first mode receiver, a second mode detector, and a second mode verifier. The first mode receiver outputs a first detection signal, based on three or more receive signals, when the first time interval begins. The second mode detector outputs a second detection signal, based on the first detection signal and a change in voltage levels of the three or more receive signals, when the second time interval begins. When the second detection signal is received, the second mode verifier detects an option pattern generated by the three or more receive signals and verifies that the second time interval begins.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Philjae Jeon

Patent number: 11051344Abstract: A base station transmits a random access response in response to a random access request (random access preamble) of a user equipment. The random access response includes information about a time when the random access request is transmitted and sequence number information of the random access request (random access preamble). The user equipment checks whether the received random access response is the response of the random access request transmitted by the user equipment, using the information about the time when the random access request is transmitted and the sequence number information included in the received random access response.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: PANTECH CORPORATIONInventors: Min Seok Noh, Yeong Hyeon Kwon, Jin Sam Kwak, Dong Cheol Kim, Sung Ho Moon, Seung Hee Han, Hyun Woo Lee, Dragan Vujcic

Patent number: 11042212Abstract: Within a communication system that includes multiple communication channels, a low-power mode of operation and a higher-power mode of operation are provided. Each channel is allocated to one of several groups, based on criteria such as whether power is allocated to that channel in low power mode, and whether power was allocated to that channel in a previous high power mode. Initial power levels for each channel for each mode are approximated using an interpolation rule known to both the receive and the transmitter. The system switches between modes according to a PMD pre-defined schedule. When a new power mode begins, the receiver measures signal power received on each channel and then transmits corrective information sufficient to allow adaptation of power levels to achieve PMD pre-defined levels of received power.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Lantiq Beteiligungs-GmbH & Co.
