  • Patent number: 11936468
    Abstract: A spatial position-dependent I/Q domain modulation method, dual domain modulation method and multiple access communication method are provided. The methods eliminate the dependence of physical layer secure communication on channel state information, and realize the function that a receiver at an expected position can communicate normally, while an eavesdropper at other positions cannot receive a signal or can only receive a wrong signal. The security capability of a wireless communication system is improved from the spatial dimension. The multiple access communication method can realize the distinguishing of multiple users according to precise spatial position points. Even if a plurality of users are located in the same sector in an angular domain, as long as the spatial positions of these users are different, the method can be used to perform multiple access communication, thereby further improving the spatial multiplexing rate of the system and increasing the system capacity.

  • Patent number: 11923930
    Abstract: A high-dimensional signal transmission method is provided. The method generates M M-dimensional first signals on the basis of M original signals and generates M M-dimensional second signals on the basis of a precoding signal and of the first signals, and finally, a transmitter sums all of the second signals and then transmits by utilizing M subchannels. As such, each subchannel carries information of the M original signals; hence, when any subchannel experiences deep fading, the deep fading is shared jointly by M signals, thus preventing the deep fading from causing a particularly severe impact on any signal. Moreover, all of the original signals can be recovered by utilizing the signals on the other subchannels, thus increasing the systematic resistance against subchannel deep fading. Meanwhile, the system implements the parallel transmission of the M original signals, thus ensuring the throughput of a communication system.

  • Patent number: 11893094
    Abstract: The invention discloses a DNN watermarking method, comprising embedding part of the digital watermark in selected redundant elements of a deep neural network (DNN) model—without compromising the performance of the DNN. The proposed method aims for a robust watermark scheme by embedding a large watermark that can span the whole DNN model. If an adversary attempts to destroy the watermark, the whole DNN model will be destroyed. However, maximizing the hiding capacity can lead to degradation in the performance of the DNN model. In this work, this capacity-performance trade-off problem is solved using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Moreover, the DCT can work more efficiently with highly correlated data. Therefore, this work suggests segmenting the weights of the DNN model into correlated segments to fully exploit the advantages of the DCT.

  • Patent number: 11812421
    Abstract: Reliable communication in 5G and planned 6G networks depends on the fast, realtime decision-making regarding signal quality, beam parameters, and modulation. Rapid-fire messaging among hordes of diverse users in a busy urban setting will require efficient procedures for managing beam parameters in realtime, under complex changing conditions. The required time scales have already shrunk below the reflex time of humans. Therefore, artificial intelligence procedures are required for certain key aspects of feedback beam management. Disclosed are AI models for (a) instant evaluation of signal quality based on received signal properties and backgrounds, (b) incremental adjustment of beam parameters on demand, and (c) adapting the modulation scheme and size, based on fault patterns and QoS requirements. Each of these AI models can be tuned using network data, and then adapted for field use by a base station or a user device, for realtime beam parameter optimization.

  • Patent number: 11792056
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method of performing synchronization and frequency offset estimation The method includes an input signal corresponding to a single received training sequence. Phase information and a phase index are generated by performing an auto-correlation function (ACF) on the input signal. A templet signal associated with a sample index of the input signal is generated based on at least one pre-stored look-up table (LUT), the phase index, a frequency bandwidth of the input signal, and the sample index. Power associated with the sample index is calculated by performing a matched filtering on the input signal based on the templet signal. A synchronization timing and a frequency offset for the input signal are simultaneously determined based on a result of the matched filtering.

  • Patent number: 11784695
    Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) operations are disclosed with regard to elevation beamforming (EB)/full dimension (FD) multiple input, multiple output (ED/FD-MIMO) operations. With CSI processing associated with multiple CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, ambiguities may arise in determining the CSI reporting type and rank. CSI reporting type may be determined using a last reported beam selection indicator (BI) or, in the absence of a BI, may be determined according to a predefined rule. When rank and BI are reported separately and rank is absent, user equipment may determine a default reference rank for CSI reporting based on either or both of previously reported rank or BI. When rank and BI are jointly reported, encoding schemes with fixed bitwidths determined based on either CSI-RS processes or resources may be used to enhance decoding. CSI-RS antenna ports, processes, or resources may also be used in determining application of CSI processing relaxation.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory, a memory interface that reads data recorded in the non-volatile memory as a received value, a converting unit that converts the received value to first likelihood information by using a first conversion table, a decoder that decodes the first likelihood information, a control unit that outputs an estimated value with respect to the received value, which is a decoding result obtained by the decoding, when decoding by the decoder has succeeded, and a generating unit that generates a second conversion table based on a decoding result obtained by the decoding, when decoding of the first likelihood information by the decoder has failed. When the generating unit generates the second conversion table, the converting unit converts the received value to the second likelihood information by using the second conversion table, and the decoder decodes the second likelihood information.

The second transceiver may selectively couple to the antenna elements, the second transceiver being configured to drive a second selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a second beam from the selected second antenna element.

  • Patent number: 11757475
    Abstract: A radio-frequency (RF) sampling transmitter (e.g., of the type that may be used in 5G wireless base stations) includes a complex baseband digital-to-analog converter (DAC) response compensator that operates on a complex baseband signal at a sampling rate lower than the sampling rate of an RF sampling DAC in the RF sampling transmitter. The DAC response compensator flattens the sample-and-hold response of the RF sampling DAC only in the passband of interest, addressing the problem of a sin c response introduced by the sample-and-hold operation of the RF sampling DAC and avoiding the architectural complexity and high power consumption of an inverse sin c filter that operates on the signal at a point in the signal chain after it has already been up-converted to an RF passband.

  • Patent number: 11736268
    Abstract: Clock recovery from a serial data signal involves using a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) to produce a clock signal which periodically alternates between high and low output clock values. These high and low clock values are generated by outputting for each clock period a series of N digital bits including a plurality of low-level bits to form each low output clock value and a plurality of high-level bits to form each high output clock value. A sync pulse obtained from a sync word present in each frame of the serial data signal is used to periodically determine a frequency error of the clock signal. The frequency error is used as a basis to change a phase of the adjusted clock signal responsive to the frequency error.
