For example, a J×K channel group of the array is selected in each of a sequence of measurement frames based on a calibration schema. Over J*K measurement sub-frames, a set of J*K aggregate measurements is obtained, each with different subsets of the channel group activated and excluded from the measurement. The aggregate calibration measurements can be used to compute J*K individualized calibration values, each for a channel of the channel group. In some implementations, each calibration value is computed as a complex value including both amplitude and phase calibrations information.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Xiaoling Huang, Channasandra Ravishankar

Patent number: 11757752Abstract: Extensive resources can be required to stage, clean-and-screen, repair, diagnose, etc. a network device. To reduce the impact on resources, a diagnostic device is used to perform diagnostic testing or analysis of a network device, such as a set top box received at a facility. The diagnostic device connects to the network device via one or more connections to initiate a diagnostic testing and analysis. The network device sends diagnostic data to the diagnostic device which uses this data to generate a diagnostic report and/or sends this data to a network resource. The diagnostic testing or analysis is used to appropriately direct the network device, for example, for repair, redistribution, disposal, or other treatment.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: ARRIS ENTERPRISES LLCInventors: Richard Moore, Jr., John D.

Patent number: 11751115Abstract: Hybrid use of dual policies is provided to improve a communication system. In a multiple access scenario, when an inactive user equipment (UE) transitions to an active state, it may be become a burden to a radio cell on which it was previously camping. In some embodiments, hybrid load balancing is provided using a hierarchical machine learning paradigm based on reinforcement learning in which an LSTM generates a goal for one policy influencing cell reselection so that another policy influencing handover over active UEs can be assisted. The communication system as influenced by the policies is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The policies controlling the active UEs and inactive UEs are coupled, and measureable system characteristics are improved. In some embodiments, policy actions depend at least in part on energy saving.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jikun Kang, Xi Chen, Di Wu, Yi Tian Xu, Xue Liu, Gregory Lewis Dudek, Taeseop Lee, Intaik Park

Patent number: 11750911Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for detecting UAVs in an RF environment are disclosed. An apparatus is constructed and configured for network communication with at least one camera. The at least one camera captures images of the RF environment and transmits video data to the apparatus. The apparatus receives RF data and generates FFT data based on the RF data, identifies at least one signal based on a first derivative and a second derivative of the FFT data, measures a direction from which the at least one signal is transmitted, analyzes the video data. The apparatus then identifies at least one UAV to which the at least one signal is related based on the analyzed video data, the RF data, and the direction from which the at least one signal is transmitted, and controls the at least one camera based on the analyzed video data.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2023Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: DIGITAL GLOBAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: David William Kleinbeck

Patent number: 11751117Abstract: The disclosed technology proposes a new methodology to include the effect of speed and direction of a UE into the threshold used for determining when to switch between a 4G UL connection and a 5G UL connection. The system can use a lookup table with various speeds mapping to varying thresholds. The system can use an accelerometer sensor or digital compass to determine the direction of the vehicle, such as heading away from or toward the 5G site, so the vehicle can switch sooner from 5G-NR to LTE and from LTE to NR, respectively. For C-V2X applications, latency is an important factor because 5G technology provides shorter latency than 4G; thus keeping the link on 5G is preferred when under good coverage. Further, the idea is not limited to UL, 5G and/or vehicle technologies, but can also be applied to DL direction, Wi-Fi and/or drone technologies as well.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2023Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Gaviphat Lekutai
