  • Patent number: 10952279
    Abstract: In the present disclosure, an access point obtains a current network feature and generates a matching rule and an access rule, so that a station performs uplink access according to the matching rule and the access rule. This resolves a prior-art problem of reduced quality of service of a high-priority service because in an EDCA protocol, when there are relatively many low-priority service nodes, the high-priority service has difficulty in obtaining a resource through contention, or a conflict occurs between a low-priority packet and a high-priority packet. Effects of ensuring quality of service and user experience are achieved.

  • Patent number: 10951292
    Abstract: Systems and methods for random access communication in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are described in which receivers can handle uncoordinated transmissions of a large and unknown number of transmitters. Communication systems in accordance with many embodiments of the invention include a plurality of transmitters that encode message data as symbols using a rateless code. During transmission, the transmitters receive feedback messages at a predetermined set of potential decoding times until an end of epoch message is received. A receiver transmits at least one start of epoch message and, at each of a predetermined set of decoding times, determines whether a decoding rule is satisfied. When the decoding rule is satisfied, the receiver can decode at least one message from observed symbols based upon the rateless code. The receiver can end the transmission epoch by transmitting an end of epoch message.

One or more of the received multiple CSI reports correspond to one or more respective multi-user superposition transmission states. The radio access network node also determines whether to use multi-user superposition transmission or an orthogonal multiple access transmission for scheduling the first UE in a first scheduling interval, based on the received multiple CSI reports.

  • Patent number: 10871561
    Abstract: A digital beamforming synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mixes a first analog signal to generate a frequency-shifted first signal having a first spectral band, mixes a second analog signal to generate a frequency-shifted second signal having a second spectral band, positioned at a defined frequency offset from the first spectral band, and positioned non-overlapping relation with the first spectral band, combines the first and second frequency-shifted signals to generate a combined analog receive signal, and band-pass samples the combined analog receive signal to generate a digital baseband signal representative of the first and second analog signals. The SAR may mix the second analog signal to position the second spectral band in the Nyquist bandwidth, and in non-overlapping relationship with the first spectral band. Mixing may include down converting the analog signal.

    Abstract: A switched-capacitor power amplifier comprising a plurality of cells and methods for its operation are described. Switched signal lines switch supply to respective capacitors. Switches connect respective signal lines to a first supply and switches connect respective signal lines to a second supply. Pairs of switches on each signal line are switched so that one is switched off whilst the other is switched on. In a “full amplitude” mode, operation of the switches provides an output having a peak determined by the first supply. A switch signal line is provided between nodes in respective signal lines, a switch being provided in the switch signal line. In a “half amplitude” mode, switch is switched at the radio frequency in the other direction to that of switches connecting the signal lines to respective ones of the first and second supplies with the other switches being kept open.
