  • Patent number: 11643982
    Abstract: To control a hybrid dynamical system, a predictive feedback controller formulates a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem including nonlinear functions of continuous optimization variables representing the continuous elements of the operation of the hybrid dynamical system and/or one or multiple linear functions of integer optimization variables representing the discrete elements of the operation of the hybrid dynamical system. The MINLP problem is formulated into a separable format ensuring that the discrete elements of the operation are present only in the linear functions of the MINLP problem. The MINLP problem is solved over multiple iterations using a partial convexification of a portion of a space of the solution including a current solution guess. The partial convexification produces a convex approximation of the nonlinear functions of the MINLP without approximating the linear functions of the MINLP to produce a partially convexified MINLP.

  • Patent number: 11641293
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of distortion compensation during data transmission uses an interweaved look-up table (ILUT) to mitigate residual signal distortions in a signal transmitted over a transmission link. The ILUT interweaves states across both an I and a Q tributary to calculate mean error and an extended symbol basis. As a result, the method works particularly well against two-dimensional distortions like nonlinearity, IQ-imbalance, and quadrature error. The method may be used for either pre-compensation when it is combined with k-means clustering in a transmitter or post-compensation when it is combined with maximum likelihood (ML) detection in a receiver.

Each chirp can have a center frequency, and the frequency can be swept over the duration of the chirp. In this way each chirp can have a varying frequency over the duration of the chirp, but the phase of the chirp can be continuous throughout the duration of the chirp. The bandwidth and sweep rate of the chirp can be based on the expected maximum velocity of the receiver and the transmitter relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 11528043
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for non-linear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a coefficient calculator. The coefficient calculator may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to a coefficient calculator. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.

  • Patent number: 11510096
    Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) means are disclosed for enabling network operators to optimize 5G and 6G messaging performance, in real-time. AI models, or fieldable algorithms derived therefrom, can select an appropriate modulation scheme according to network conditions. Modulation variables can then be adjusted to optimize performance, such as throughput or failure rates, for low or high traffic densities. Three development phases are described: network data acquisition including faults experienced under various network conditions, AI structure tuning for accurate prediction of performance, and implementation of a fieldable algorithm based on the AI structure. Network operators can use the fieldable algorithm to compare predicted performance metrics in real-time, according to various operating conditions (such as available modulation schemes), and thereby adjust particular modulation parameters (such as amplitude or phase levels).

  • Patent number: 11502756
    Abstract: Joint estimation of the framer index and the frequency offset in an optical communication system are described among various other features. A transmitter can transmit data frames using pilot and framer symbols. A receiver can estimate the framer index and frequency offset using the pilot and framer symbols, and identify the beginning of a header portion of a data frame. By identifying the beginning of the header portion of a data frame, the receiver can then process data received from the transmitter in a manner synchronous to the manner in which the data was transmitted by the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11496244
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting PPDU in a wireless LAN system are proposed. Specifically, a transmitter generates the PPDU, and transmits the PPDU to a receiver through a 320 MHz band in which some bands are punctured. The PPDU includes a legacy preamble and an EHT field. The legacy preamble includes L-STF and L-LTF. The legacy preamble is generated by applying a first phase rotation value or a second phase rotation value. The first phase rotation value is obtained on the basis of a third phase rotation value and a fourth phase rotation value. The third phase rotation value is a phase rotation value having repeated a phase rotation value defined for an 80 MHz band in an 802.11ax system. The fourth phase rotation value is a phase rotation value defined in units of the 80 MHz band in the 320 MHZ band on the basis of an optimal PAPR of the L-LTF.
