An apparatus for compensating a channel based on an artificial neural network includes a channel learning device that learns a property of the channel, and a channel compensating device that compensates for an error of the channel based on a learning result of the channel learning device.

System and methods for out-of-band pairing sterile medical device with non-sterile devices without compromising sterility thereof. A system includes a sterile medical device; a non-sterile computing device; at least one near field communication (NFC) tag; and a sterile packaging enclosing the sterile medical device. In one example, a sterile percutaneous needle guidance device needs to pair and communicate with a non-sterile computer. The sterile device has an NFC tag embedded in the sterile device and an NFC tag embedded in the sterile packaging. The two NFC tags include identification information duplicate of each other. Before opening the sterile packaging either NFC tag can be scanned with the non-sterile device to initiate wireless pairing. If the sterile package is opened before pairing, the NFC tag contained in the packaging can be brought out of the sterile field and scanned with the non-sterile computer thus preserving the sterility of the sterile device.

A network system receives an order request from a requesting device including a list of requested items and a delivery location. The network system may create an order entry by selecting a source location and a provider for the order. The network system sends order information from the order entry to a provider device of the selected provider and a source device corresponding to the source location, where the order information includes an order identifier, a source identifier, and a provider identifier. The provider device broadcasts a beacon including the source identifier and the order identifier. The provider device detects a short range beacon signal from the source device and determines whether the detected source identifier and order identifier match the received source identifier and order identifier from the order information. Responsive to a successful match the provider device verifies its proximity to the source device.

A Bluetooth device, which realizes different types of device by setting a MAC address of the device or a type of a broadcast device; when the device is used as a Bluetooth keyboard device, it can realize a function for inputting a dynamic password, and the device shifts an obtained dynamic password value into Bluetooth keyboard class virtual key information according to the Bluetooth keyboard protocol, and sends automatically the virtual key information to the upper computer successively, and the device can restore a type of the device so as to resolve a keyboard conflict between the keyboard device and the upper computer, in this way, the user makes less error to input a dynamic password and the identity authentication becomes safer.

A multi-antenna operation mode indication method and an apparatus resolve a problem that increased power consumption and a resource waste are caused because a terminal device still operates in a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) mode by default in a single-port transmission mode. The method includes: a network device sends indication information to a terminal device, to indicate that a multi-antenna operation mode of the terminal device is single-user multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO) or MU-MIMO. The terminal device determines, based on the indication information from the network device, whether a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port number corresponding to the terminal device and a DMRS port number not corresponding to the terminal device are allocated to another terminal device, to adjust the multi-antenna operation mode.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Disclosed are a base station and a random access preamble sequence detection method thereof, and a terminal and a random access channel configuration method thereof.

An IQ generator capable of consuming lower power and occupying smaller die area. The IQ generator is configured without any synthesizer and divide-by-2 circuitry. The IQ generator may be configured to convert one or more phase outputs of a test tone generator (TTG) into I and Q signals. The IQ generator may receive as inputs differential outputs of a single phase of a TTG and/or multiple phase outputs of a TTG. The IQ generator may include one or more delay paths configured to generate the I and Q signals, and a calibration circuitry configured to compare the average pulse widths of the I and Q signals and provide one or more control signals to the one or more delay paths such that the I and Q signals are orthogonal in phase.

Systems for bi-directional single-ended transmission are described. For example, a system may include a receiver with a first differential input terminal and a second differential input terminal, wherein the first differential input terminal is coupled to a first node and the second differential input terminal is coupled to a second node; a transmitter with an output terminal coupled to a third node; a first inductor connected between the first node and the third node; a second inductor connected between the second node and the third node; and a shunt resistor connected between the third node and a ground node.

A method and an apparatus for determining a PDSCH reception beam, a storage medium, and a terminal are provided. The method includes: receiving one or more PDCCHs and determining a to-be-received PDSCH, wherein the to-be-received PDSCH is repeatedly scheduled by the one or more PDCCHs; determining a duration between a last symbol of the one or more PDCCHs which schedule the to-be-received PDSCH and a first symbol of the to-be-received PDSCH; using a first reception beam to receive the to-be-received PDSCH based on the duration being shorter than a preset duration; and using a second reception beam to receive the to-be-received PDSCH based on the duration being longer than or equal to the preset duration, wherein the first reception beam and the second reception beam are the same or different.

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that, when there is no downlink signal having an indicated TCI state in a same symbol as the A-CSI-RS, receives an aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (A-CSI-RS) using two default transmission configuration indication (TCI) states for a physical downlink shared channel; and a control section that uses, based on at least one of capability information and a physical downlink control channel for triggering of the A-CSI-RS, one default TCI state of the two default TCI states for measurement of the A-CSI-RS. According to the aspect of the present disclosure, the A-CSI-RS can be appropriately measured.
