  • Patent number: 10804989
    Abstract: Multiple mobility sets are maintained for nodes of radio networks. The sets comprise information such as: transmit and receive point identities; cell identities; beam identities; frequency channels; channel bandwidth; and black lists. The sets may be defined at different levels, such as network and physical (PHY) level. A network mobility set, e.g., a new-radio (NR) mobility set may, be determined by the gNB, the cell, the UE, or another device. Multiple radio access network nodes and UEs may exchange mobility set information to achieve a distributed mobility solution. A UE may monitor its orientation relative to a TRP, e.g., via use of an onboard MEMS gyroscope, and alter its beamforming parameters in response to changes in orientation and/or changes in TRP connection strength. Cell selection and reselection for beam based networks may use Single Frequency Network (SFN) broadcast of initial access signals without beam sweeping.

  • Patent number: 10735991
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe wireless transmission techniques for mitigating interference between wirelessly controlled machines in a shared space. To mitigate interference, the machines may be assigned different channels within the same frequency band. However, if machines using the same channel in a frequency band receive each other's wireless signals, the wireless signals can interfere. To free up additional bandwidth, in one embodiment, the command signals are transmitted using a different frequency band than a heartbeat signal used to stop the machines in case of emergencies. In another embodiment, time multiplexing or directional antennas can be used to mitigate interference. In another example, antenna diversity and multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) can be used to further focus the radiation pattern onto the desired machine while avoiding transmitting wireless signals to neighboring machines. In one embodiment, the machines may use dual-channels to transmit and receive duplicate data.

    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.

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: 10623214
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for multi-level amplitude modulation and demodulation. The system accepts a frame delimiter signal, when a comparator is triggered upon receiving the frame delimiter signal from a transmitter. Further, the system receives modulated data associated with a data frame from the transmitter. In one aspect, the modulated data may be generated by modulation of the data frame using a set of three amplitude levels. Upon receiving the modulated data, the system demodulates the modulated data to retrieve the data frame along with the frame delimiter signal, which can be used for successive digital logic elements for enhanced performance.

  • Patent number: 10623121
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method for time delay estimation in a wireless communication system. A signal received, from a transmitter, is delayed due to hardware components in the receiver. A time domain representation of a computed complex channel impulse response (CIR) is generated. A first set of peaks of a time domain representation of the complex CIR is determined and a first peak, having a lowest time delay of the first set of peaks relative to the arrival time of the signal at the receiver, is identified. Following the interpolation of a region corresponding to the first peak, a second set of peaks is determined, and a more accurate estimation of the delay experienced by the signal through the receiver is determined.
