A MIMO transmission point utilizes respective pluralities of beam weights to transmit corresponding pluralities of beams to each group of wireless devices, with respective numbers of resources being allocated for transmissions to each group of wireless devices. One method comprises: determining an average output power of the transmission point over a period of time in a first direction; comparing the average output power to an output power reference value; determining a fraction of a pool of available resources for the allocation of data to be transmitted by the transmission point as a function of the comparison; for each group of wireless devices, and determining beam gains in the first direction for each of the plurality of beams and weighting the number of resources allocated to the group of wireless devices according to the determined beam gains to obtain an effective number of resource blocks in the resources in the first direction.

In one aspect there is provided a process for beam management. In some embodiments, the process includes: a TRP classifying a data session between the TRP and a UE into one of at least two classifications; and the TRP selecting a beam management procedure for managing one or more BPLs between the TRP and the UE based on the classification into which the data session is classified.

In a message modulated according to orthogonal amplitude-modulated component signals in 5G or 6G, the receiver can attempt to recover a corrupted message by evaluating the modulation quality of each component signal in each message element. The modulation quality of each component signal may be determined according to a distance between the amplitude of the component signal and the closest amplitude level of the modulation scheme, as determined by a prior demodulation reference. The modulation quality may also be determined by the SNR and amplitude stability of the component signal. Upon detecting a corrupted message, the receiver can identify the faulted message elements according to modulation quality, and if the faulted message elements are clustered in a portion of the message (as is common), the receiver can request that just the faulted portion be retransmitted, saving time and bandwidth.

A method and system are provided for scheduling data transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The MIMO system may comprise at least one MIMO transmitter and at least one MIMO receiver. Feedback from one or more receivers may be used by a transmitter to improve quality, capacity, and scheduling in MIMO communication systems. The method may include generating or receiving information pertaining to a MIMO channel metric and information pertaining to a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in respect of a transmitted signal; and sending a next transmission to a receiver using a MIMO mode selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the MIMO channel metric, and an adaptive coding and modulation selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the CQI.

There is provided a method and device for forwarding a digital signal arranged into portions that each contain a timestamp and an error detection code. Duplicates of the digital signal are received on a first optical path and a second, separate optical path. Corresponding timestamps are identified in the signals and used to synchronize corresponding portions of the signals. The error detection codes in the synchronized portions are used to allow one and only one of the corresponding portions to be selected for forwarding. The selected portions are then forwarded.

Transmitting the combined signal.

A radio communication system transmits data between terrestrial sites using one or more stochastically distributed orbiting satellites. The satellites and ground stations have the capability of sending and receiving data content in different radio technologies (signal formats) and over different satellite routes. Data content is assembled into packets and divided into segments and transmitted multiple times in different signal formats and/or over different routes, with each segment including error correction coding. A system node (satellite or ground station) that receives the multiple data packets applies error correction to each segment and re-assembles the data content from the separate segments in each transmission deemed to have the fewest errors.

Methods and apparatus for successive interference cancellation (SIC). In an embodiment, a method includes receiving symbols from a plurality of user equipment (UE), identify a target UE and non-target UEs, decoding code blocks from the symbols received from the non-target UEs to generate decoded bits for each code block. The method also includes performing a CRC check on each code block to generate a tag (0) when the CRC check passes and a tag (1) when the CRC check fails, and re-encoding the decoded bits to generate re-encoded code blocks having the associated tags attached. The method also includes reconstructing symbols from the re-encoded code blocks where symbols reconstructed from re-encoded code blocks having tag (0) are reconstructed with data and symbols reconstructed from re-encoded code blocks having tag (1) are reconstructed as zero value symbols, and utilizing the reconstructed symbols to cancel interference on symbols from the target UE.
