    Abstract: A wireless communication control method suppresses interference using an MMSE weight in an environment of wireless communication where the number of transmission stations transmitting a signal to a receiving station is larger than the number of reception antennas of the receiving station. The receiving station calculates power of an interference signal included in a signal received by the receiving station from the transmission stations the number of which is larger than the number of reception antennas, the interference signal corresponding to a part by which the number of transmission stations exceeds the number of reception antennas. The receiving station calculates the MMSE weight depending on the power of the interference signal, recalculates the power of the interference signal using the MMSE weight, and recalculates the MMSE weight depending on the recalculated power of the interference signal.

  • Patent number: 10985955
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for automatically identifying a modulation mode for a digital communication signal. The method comprises the following steps of: S1: preprocessing a training digital modulation signal; S2: extracting a characteristic value of the training digital modulation signal; S3: constructing a strong classifier by Bagging learning; and S4: preprocessing a modulation signal to be tested and extracting a corresponding characteristic parameter, and then inputting the characteristic parameter into the strong classifier in the S3 to classify and identify the modulation signal. According to the method, by processing all characteristic values in parallel, a success rate of identification has little to do with an identification performance of a single characteristic parameter and is mainly related to an overall performance, so that the identification to the modulation mode has the advantages of fast identification speed and high success rate of identification.

  • Patent number: 10931324
    Abstract: Techniques for a communication device with a receiver to dynamically control the gain of an analog front end of the receiver. Rather than having a single circuit path in the analog front end, the analog front end includes multiple circuit paths, and dynamically selects one of the circuit paths that optimizes the gain of the analog front end. For example, an amplifier circuit path may be selected to amplify the power level of the signal received from the antenna. However, the analog front end may further include an attenuator circuit path that includes an attenuator to reduce the power level of a high-power input signal received from the antenna to ensure that the high-power signal is attenuated below a power level associated with saturation of the receiver.
