  • Patent number: 12294544
    Abstract: For improved reception of PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) messages in 5G and 6G, each message can be preceded by a special demarcation, and optionally followed by another (preferably different) demarcation. For even better reception, the two demarcations may be configured as short-form demodulation references that exhibit two predetermined modulation levels of the modulation scheme, such as the maximum and minimum amplitude or phase levels. For optimal reception, one or both demarcations may be surrounded by gaps, consisting of a single resource element with no transmission. Downlink messages with such multi-functional demarcations may greatly simplify the task of user devices in receiving their control messages from the base station.

  • Patent number: 12289636
    Abstract: A wireless device may receive packets according to a protocol, such as Bluetooth, and may rapidly react to receive an interfering RF packet instead of dropping the first RF packet and the interfering RF packet, to decrease message delay due to collisions in high device density environments. When a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) difference between the interfering RF packet and the first RF packet exceeds a threshold, the device may detect the interfering packet and resync a portion of its circuitry to lock on to and receive the interfering packet. The wireless receiver may detect the interfering RF packet by detecting one or more of: a specific resync byte sequence, an increase in RSSI, or a phase shift. Additionally, a wireless device may add the specific resync byte sequence to an RF packet of a standard protocol.

  • Patent number: 12284064
    Abstract: A transmitter system includes a mapper that maps data bits and power information to N subcarriers. A first-level modulator converts the mapped information of subcarriers into subcarrier specifications, defining their amplitude and phase (or real and imaginary amplitudes). An orthogonal subcarrier generator, for example an IFFT, calculates N successive values of baseband real and imaginary signals. A second-level modulator multiplies the baseband signals with in-phase and quadrature intermediate frequency (IF) components to generate an orthogonal IF signal. A single-sideband (SSB) prep unit may remove the lower or upper sideband. A beam former modifies the phase and/or the amplitude of the orthogonal IF signal for transmission through multiple sub-antennas in a phased array antenna.

  • Patent number: 12255851
    Abstract: Waveforms for wireless communication are shaped asymmetrically according to a complex-valued weighted overlap/add (WOLA) filter. A wireless communication device generates a waveform corresponding to a carrier. The device determines whether neighboring carriers are being used for wireless communication. If one neighboring carrier is occupied and the other is unoccupied, the wireless communication device applies the asymmetrical filter to the waveform such that out-of-band signals which may interfere with the occupied carrier are suppressed to a greater extent than out-of-band signals potentially present in or around the unoccupied carrier. The wireless communication device then transmits the asymmetrically shaped waveform to maximize interference reduction and signal quality.

  • Patent number: 12249409
    Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology transmits digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance. To support extended operation, particularly with battery power sources, the inventors have established UWB devices which support wake-up from deep sleep modes when these devices exploit low frequency clock sources for ultra-low power consumption. Further, power consumption may be reduced by exploiting transistors or so-called compounded MOSFET structures whose effective gain and output resistance exceeds any single transistor irrespective of length or by employing biasless low power differential (exponential) transconductance stages within operational transconductance amplifiers in order to provide very high gain low power amplification stages. Further, the inventors have established voltage reference sources that consume very low current, a few nA, and ultra-low power low dropout regulators.

    Abstract: Data is scrambled at a transmitter according to one of a number of predetermined scrambling sequences which are associated with a particular one of a number of predetermined transmit antenna diversity schemes (i.e., a specific number of transmit antenna ports). Received data is decoded using one or more of the known transmit antenna diversity schemes and the scrambled data is descrambled according to a corresponding descrambling sequence (related to the scrambling sequence). Based on the descrambled data, the receiver determines which transmit antenna diversity scheme (i.e., the number of antenna ports) is used by the transmitter. In one specific embodiment, CRC parity data is scrambled in the transmitter and the receiver descrambles the recovered CRC parity data according to a descrambling sequence, computes CRC parity data from the received data, and compares the descrambled CRC parity data to the newly computed CRC parity data.

  • Patent number: 12143250
    Abstract: The invention provides an optical interconnect system and method for a data center. A nonlinear differential precoding module performs nonlinear differential precoding on an inputted original signal, to obtain a precoded signal with an increased quantity of levels. A generalized Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (GTHP) module pre-equalizes the precoded signal, to obtain a pre-equalized signal with scattered distribution. A faster than Nyquist (FTN) module performs high-frequency truncation filtering on the pre-equalized signal, to obtain a discrete signal. A signal transmission module transmits the discrete signal from a transmitting end to a receiving end. A feed-forward equalizer (FFE) performs strong equalization on the discrete signal to obtain a level slice signal, and decodes the level slice signal according to a GTHP decoding table, to obtain a decoded signal.

  • Patent number: 12119850
    Abstract: This disclosure provides wireless communication methods, components, devices and systems for applying spectral masks and spectral flatness parameters in conjunction with transmission of millimeter wave (mmWave) signals in wireless communication networks. In some examples, in conjunction with transmission of an mmWave signal, a wireless communication device can apply a derivative spectral mask featuring transitional offset ranges that correspond to transitional frequency offset ranges of a spectral mask for a nominal carrier signal, scaled according to a ratio between a bandwidth of the mmWave signal and a bandwidth of the nominal carrier signal. In some examples, the derivative spectral mask can feature an in-band frequency offset range that is wider than a scaled width of an in-band frequency offset range of the spectral mask for the nominal carrier signal.

    Abstract: Processing relaxation for aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) is discussed for networks that include full dimension multiple input, multiple output (FD-MIMO) operations. A user equipment (UE) operating in such a system monitors for the presence of aperiodic CSI-RS. When such aperiodic CSI-RS are detected, the UE may provide process relaxation in CSI reporting by transmitting aperiodic CSI reporting according to an uplink shared channel limitation, or by relaxing the processing of the aperiodic CSI reporting transmitted by the UE, or a combination of both.
