The systems and methods described relate to the concept that smart devices can be used to 1) sense various types of phenomena like sound, blue light exposure, RF and microwave radiation, and 2) in real-time analyze, report and/or control outputs (e.g., displays or speakers). The systems are configurable and use standard computing devices, such as wearable electronics, tablet computers, and mobile phones to measure various frequency bands across multiple points, allowing a single user to visualize and/or adjust environmental conditions.

A cooperative multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna array comprises a MIMO subspace processing system communicatively coupled by a fronthaul network to a set of antennas residing on multiple ones of a plurality of geographically distributed wireless terminals in a Radio Access Network. The MIMO subspace processing system can comprise a distributed computing system. The MIMO antenna array is adapted by updating the set of antennas to produce a second set of antennas; reconfiguring the fronthaul network; selecting an updated set of distributed computing resources to perform MIMO subspace processing; and reconfiguring the MIMO subspace processing to employ channel state information of the second set to enable multiple non-interfering subspace channels occupying a common frequency.

A communication system that may be used in room and building automation. A mesh network may be associated with a room of a building, or the like. Connectivity may be provided for devices with servers and a cloud in one mode. Connectivity may be provided for devices to mobile devices and a room-level information module in another mode. These modes of connectivities of various modes may be effected with a software definable radio or radios. Other modes of connectivity may be implemented.

A method and system for controlling an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in an observation path in a transceiver. The transceiver includes a transmit path, a receive path, and an observation path. The observation path includes an analog buffer and an observation ADC. A controller generates a control signal to control sampling events at the observation ADC to activate the observation ADC at combined uniform and non-uniform sampling instants. The controller may also generate a second control signal indicating whether digital data obtained by the observation ADC is valid or not. The digital data generated by the observation ADC at non-uniform sampling instants is indicated as invalid and digital data generated by the observation ADC at uniform sampling instants is indicated as valid. The digital data indicated as invalid may be discarded and the digital data indicated as valid is used for calibration of the transmit path or the receive path.

The processing circuit assigns a routable address to the at least one of the baseband interface or the loopback interface, assigns a non-routable address to the first node based on the first node being a gateway interface, assigns a routable address to the first node based on the first node not being a gateway interface, and assigns a non-routable address to the second node based on the second node being coupled to the wireless RF interface.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a receiver device may identify an analog to digital converter (ADC) clipping rate for one or more measurement windows. The receiver device may modify, based at least in part on a determination that the ADC clipping rate does not satisfy a threshold, a low noise amplifier (LNA) gain value to be used by the receiver device. The receiver device may receive a signal using the modified LNA gain value. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating multiple digital reference pulses synchronously to a master oscillator, selectively switching the multiple digital reference pulses, and providing the switched pulses to multiple radio modules operating within a millimeter wave spectrum. For each radio module, counting cycles of an adjustable LO output signal occurring between consecutive pulses of the switched digital reference pulses, determining a difference between the count value and a reference value, and adjusting the adjustable LO according to the difference. A resulting corrected LO signal is synchronized to the master oscillator. Other embodiments are disclosed.
