  • Patent number: 11621748
    Abstract: A method for controlling an antenna array includes determining, based on a beamstate, an initial weight vector of excitations. The initial weight vector is transformed into an active-impedance vector. When the modulus of any element of the active-impedance vector exceeds a threshold, the initial weight vector is unsafe. In this case, a substitute weight vector is identified such that (i) the initial and substitute weight vectors have a similarity measure that exceeds a similarity threshold and (ii) the substitute weight vector is safe. The antenna array may then be driven according to the substitute weight vector to emit radiation having a radiation pattern that approximates that of the beamstate. The substitute weight vector may be found by searching a library of safe weight vectors or by adjusting the excitations of the initial weight vector until a safe alternative is found.

  • Patent number: 11546101
    Abstract: A cloud-based Wi-Fi network architecture consisting of a CU and RAUs is proposed as an improvement on the conventional Wi-Fi architecture with traditional access points (APs). In addition, a method for uplink data transmission in a cloud-based Wi-Fi network is proposed. In a conventional Wi-Fi network with independently operating APs, APs close to each other may not be able to utilize the same frequency band efficiently because of significant amounts of interference. However, in a cloud-based Wi-Fi network, the CU coordinates RAUs so that they can operate in the same frequency band by transmitting or receiving signals through the shared wireless medium to improve spectral efficiency. For each frequency band, the proposed system utilizes a diversity combining that combines multiple signals and introduces a single improved signal with high signal-to-noise ratio for uplink transmission in the cloud-based Wi-Fi network.

  • Patent number: 11533067
    Abstract: A millimeter-wave phase array system may include massive heterodyne transceivers as its building elements. A transceiver of each element may include an IQ image rejection heterodyne transmitter and a receiver. Each transmitter may include a single DAC, a Tx I channel, and a Tx Q channel. Each receiver may include an Rx I channel, an Rx Q channel, and a single ADC. For Tx IQ image rejection calibration, amplitude and phase offsets are determined, using both the Tx I and Tx Q channels from a first element and using only one of the Rx I or Rx Q channel from a second element. The IQ channel imbalances are compensated using the offsets in analog domain. A similar procedure is used for Rx IQ image rejection calibration with alternated signal path enabling. A frequency response variation of an RF front end is detected with a single path Tx/Rx channel setup.

  • Patent number: 11476998
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently reporting channel state feedback for a set of subbands. As an example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a set of reference signals on the set of subbands and determine a respective channel quality indicator (CQI) index for each of the set of subbands based on the reference signals. The UE may then transmit indications of CQI indices for different subbands of the set using variable length indications, such as indications that include different numbers of bits. Since, in some examples, a small length or number of bits may be allocated for reporting CQI indices with a high probability of being reported, overhead in a wireless communications system may be reduced.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a communication system that includes sensors, a plurality of components, and processors. The sensors receive measurements related to a state of the communication system. The processors receive an indication of an amount of received power at a remote communication system and estimate a state of the plurality of components based on the received one or more measurements and the received indication. Using the indication and the estimated state, the processors determine whether the amount of received power is likely to fall below a minimum received power within a given time interval. When it is likely, the processors select an adjustment technique of a plurality of adjustment techniques for adjusting a data rate of the outbound signal and adjust a given component of the communication system using the selected adjustment technique to change the data rate of the outbound signal.

  • Patent number: 11431374
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for amplifying radio signals between a terminal device and an antenna and to a corresponding circuit arrangement is disclosed. The circuit arrangement has a transmission amplifier path and a reception amplifier path. A signal power in a first frequency range in the transmitting direction is detected to determine a transmitted signal power and a signal power in a second frequency range in the receiving direction is detected to determine a received signal power. The detected transmitted signal power can be compared with the detected received signal power. If the detected transmitted signal power is stronger than the detected received signal power, the transmission amplifier path can amplify transmitted signals in the first frequency range. If the detected received signal power is stronger than the detected transmitted signal power, the reception amplifier path can amplify received signals in the second frequency range.
