    Abstract: A compact photonic converter for radio frequency (RF) signals comprising fewer components than in the prior art. The fields of the invention are electronics, oscillating circuits, radio frequency circuits and optoelectronics. The converter comprises an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), which is the local oscillator (LO) for the frequency conversion operation, and an RF signal injection circuit. The OEO uses a single Mach-Zehnder (MZ) electro-optic modulator and a single photodetector to enable simultaneous up/down frequency conversion of the radio frequency signal from the input of the converter. The frequency conversion is based on the intermodulation that occurs inside the MZ modulator.

  • Patent number: 11671158
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support beam failure determination based on a dynamic range of transmission power ratios between two reference signals (e.g., between a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)). A wireless device may identify the dynamic range of transmission power ratios that may be used by a base station (e.g., via indications of maximum and minimum transmission power ratios, indications of one or more offsets from some average transmission power ratio, etc. sent from the base station). The wireless device may use the identified dynamic range of transmission power ratios, along with a CSI-RS measurement, to determine a range of hypothetical block error rates (BLERs). Values within the range of hypothetical BLERs may be compared to a threshold in order to determine a beam failure status (e.g., a beam failure).

  • Patent number: 11652635
    Abstract: Embodiments for device pairing using optical codes are described. One embodiment is a wearable device with an image sensor configured to capture an image including a first optical code from a first host device. The wearable device decodes the first optical code, and in response to the first optical code, initiates broadcast of a pairing advertisement. The host device displays a second optical code in response to the pairing advertisement, and the wearable device captures and processes the second optical code to determine a host pairing advertisement code. The wearable device then, in response to the second optical code, initiate broadcast of a second pairing advertisement including the host pairing advertisement code. In various embodiments, a secure wireless channel is then established and used for further secure communications.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for radio frequency (RF) calibration in a multiple antenna system (MAS) with multi-user (MU) transmissions (“MU-MAS”) exploiting uplink/downlink channel reciprocity. The RF calibration is used to compute open-loop downlink precoder based on uplink channel estimates, thereby avoiding feedback overhead for channel state information as in closed-loop schemes. For example, a MU-MAS of one embodiment comprises a wireless cellular network with one or multiple beacon stations, multiple client devices and multiple distributed antennas operating cooperatively via precoding methods to eliminate inter-client interference and increase network capacity.
