Patent number: 11038719Abstract: Channel estimation performance depends on the amount of averaging performed by a channel impulse response coherent filter. For half-duplex UEs, which use a single phase locked loop (PLL) for both downlink transmissions and uplink transmissions, averaging may not be performed across downlink subframes before and after uplink subframes if the PLL's phase changes and locks to a random initial value when switching transmission directions. Techniques disclosed herein facilitate estimating the PLL's random initial phase and enable correcting the phase of symbols accordingly. By correcting the phase of the symbols, it is possible to average across symbols before and after a frequency re-tune and/or a transmission direction switch based on the phase correction. This may serve to improve the accuracy of channel estimation.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Parisa Babaheidarian, Vijayvaradharaj Tirucherai Muralidharan, Murali Menon

The substructure is dispatched from the client to the server across a first network node with an anonymization module, wherein data of the first substructure is transformed by the anonymization module. The second substructure from the client is dispatched to a second network node with a storage module. The second substructure is received by the server from the network node with the storage module, and the obtained data substructures are combined into a second data structure by the server.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: AO Kapersky LabInventors: Andrey A.

Patent number: 10986514Abstract: An eNB may determine a root for a sequence to be included in a signal to a UE. The eNB may generate a generalized Chu sequence based on the root and scramble the generalized Chu sequence using a pseudorandom sequence that is common to a plurality of eNBs. The eNB may transmit the scrambled generalized Chu sequence to indicate the beginning of a downlink transmission. The UE may receive this scrambled generalized Chu sequence and determine if a beginning of a downlink transmission from a serving eNB based on the received generalized Chu sequence and an expected generalized Chu sequence.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Sun, Taesang Yoo, Xiaoxia Zhang

Patent number: 10985825Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for transmitting an uplink signal and a downlink signal. A method for transmitting an uplink signal comprises detecting whether there is a beam failure; if there is a beam failure, determining at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information; and transmitting a beam failure recovery request message to a base station, the beam failure recovery request message being used for informing the base station of at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information. A method for transmitting a downlink signal comprises detecting a beam failure recovery request message, determining at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information in the UE; and transmitting a feedback message corresponding to the beam failure recovery request message.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Qi Xiong, Chen Qian, Bin Yu

Patent number: 10980029Abstract: A station (STA), which supports multiple spatial streams, can, and sometimes does, re-advertise the station as supporting less spatial stream (SS) than the actual number of spatial streams that the device does actually support. In some embodiments, a station's maximum advertised maximum number of spatial streams is proactively reduced based on the station's throughput being below one or more thresholds. In some embodiments, the analysis and level of spatial stream value to be reported in a re-advertisement is determined by the access point. In some other embodiments, the analysis and level of spatial stream value to be reported in a re-advertisement is determined by the station. The access point allocating its limited supported spatial streams among stations is able to more efficiently allocate the air link resources.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Taren G.

Patent number: 10979255Abstract: Systems and methods of performing data transmission and reception in a communication system are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a method performed by a wireless device for transmitting a signal in a first communication system that is frequency-domain multiplexed with a second communication system may include generating (201), by a modulator (401), a modulated signal that represents one or more information symbols. The modulated signal may include one or more modulation symbols of the first communication system. The method may also include filtering (203), by a pulse shaping filter (403), the modulated signal to obtain the filtered modulated signal. The pulse shaping filter (403) may be configured to operate with a period that corresponds to the symbol rate of the second communication system. In addition, the method may include transmitting (209), by a transmitter (409), the filtered modulated signal at a carrier or sub-carrier frequency of the first communication system.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Miguel Lopez, Bo Hagerman

Patent number: 10973020Abstract: A signal scrambling method and apparatus, and a signal descrambling method and apparatus are disclosed. In the signal scrambling method, a communications apparatus scrambles a signal by using a scrambling sequence, and sends the scrambled signal. In the signal descrambling method, a communications apparatus receives a signal, and descrambles the signal by using a scrambling sequence. An initial value of the scrambling sequence is determined based on a time unit number corresponding to a frame structure parameter used for transmitting the signal, so that different scrambling sequences can be used to scramble signals that are transmitted by using different frame structure parameters. Therefore, interference randomization can be implemented for signal scrambling, and this can be applicable to various application scenarios in 5G NR to improve performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Ting Wang, Yuanjie Li, Hao Tang, Zhenfei Tang
