  • Patent number: 11050532
    Abstract: A bit-level operation may be implemented prior to modulation and resource element (RE) mapping in order to generate a NoMA transmission using standard (QAM, QPSK, BPSK, etc.) modulators. In this way, the bit-level operation is exploited to achieve the benefits of NoMA (e.g., improved spectral efficiency, reduced overhead, etc.) at significantly less signal processing and hardware implementation complexity. The bit-level operation is specifically designed to produce an output bit-stream that is longer than the input bit-stream, and that includes output bit-values that are computed as a function of the input bit-values such that when the output bit-stream is subjected to modulation (e.g., m-ary QAM, QPSK, BPSK), the resulting symbols emulate a spreading operation that would otherwise have been generated from the input bit-stream, either by a NoMA-specific modulator or by a symbol-domain spreading operation.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining a phase measurement difference between a received modulated signal and a local clock signal. An adjusted local clock phase measurement may be determined by subtracting, from the phase measurement difference, a phase correction that is based on the frequency difference between the modulator signal's carrier frequency and the local clock's frequency. A phase modulation value may be generated by scaling the adjusted local clock phase measurement. The scaling may be based on a ratio of the modulated signal's carrier frequency and the local clock's frequency.

  • Patent number: 11005619
    Abstract: A bit-level operation may be implemented prior to modulation and resource element (RE) mapping in order to generate a NoMA transmission using standard (QAM, QPSK, BPSK, etc.) modulators. In this way, the bit-level operation is exploited to achieve the benefits of NoMA (e.g., improved spectral efficiency, reduced overhead, etc.) at significantly less signal processing and hardware implementation complexity. The bit-level operation is specifically designed to produce an output bit-stream that is longer than the input bit-stream, and that includes output bit-values that are computed as a function of the input bit-values such that when the output bit-stream is subjected to modulation (e.g., m-ary QAM, QPSK, BPSK), the resulting symbols emulate a spreading operation that would otherwise have been generated from the input bit-stream, either by a NoMA-specific modulator or by a symbol-domain spreading operation.

  • Patent number: 10980017
    Abstract: Improved downlink control information decoding is disclosed herein. Downlink control information, can be in different formats depending on the rank of transmission from the network to the user equipment device. For instance, if the transmission rank is between 1 and 4, the transmission will be a single codeword transmission, while a rank of 5-8 can have two codewords. The downlink control information can have a different format, or structure depending on the number of codewords. The user equipment device can predict whether a single codeword transmission or a multicode codeword transmission is more likely, and attempt to decode the downlink control information using the corresponding format. If the first pass is unsuccessful, the user equipment device can make a second pass decoding based on the alternate format of downlink control information.
