METHODS FOR CONFORMING NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK COMMUNICATION TO TERRESTRIAL STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

User equipment may configure a transmitter or receiver to conform to regulations or standards of a geographical region to communicate with non-terrestrial networks (e.g., satellite networks). In one embodiment, the user equipment may receive an indication of a regulation or standard to which to conform to from a terrestrial communication node, and apply an emission mask to the transmitter based on the regulation or standard. The user equipment may additionally or alternatively configure the receiver to be compliant with a noise level tolerance of a received signal specified by the regulation or standard. In some embodiments, the user equipment may implement a frequency offset between the received signal and an interfering signal associated with the noise level tolerance that is scaled based at least on a channel bandwidth associated with the desired signal. Moreover, the user equipment may scale the noise level tolerance based on the frequency offset.

An example method for enabling coherent reception of a radio signal includes, in some implementations, tuning a radio receiver to a first receiver frequency, generating within the radio receiver a test signal having a first test frequency, and measuring a first phase of the test signal while the radio receiver is tuned to the first receiver frequency. The example method also includes tuning the radio receiver to a second receiver frequency, which is different from the first receiver frequency, measuring a second phase of the test signal while the radio receiver is tuned to the second receiver frequency, and calculating a phase relationship depending on the first and second phases of the test signal. A radio receiver for coherent reception of a radio signal also is disclosed.

Fault-Tolerant Method for Demodulating 5G or 6G Messages
20230081108 · 2023-03-16 ·

With rapid increases in the number and spatial density of wireless messages as 5G and 6G are rolled out, it is essential that improved methods for fault-tolerant demodulation and error mitigation be developed. Disclosed herein are methods for receiving a message concatenated with a demodulation reference, determining the predetermined modulation levels of a modulation scheme, and demodulating the message by measuring the amplitude mad/or phase modulation values of each message element. The measured modulation values are then compared with the predetermined modulation levels of the modulation scheme to demodulate the message. Importantly, the message can be demodulated by determining an amplitude and phase of the raw signal for each message element, or by separating the raw signal into two orthogonal “branches” and determining the amplitudes of the two branches. By demodulating the message both ways, message faults may be identified and mitigated, according to some embodiments.

An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. The wireless circuitry may operate in the presence of radio-frequency interference coming from various sources, which can cause a loss of sensitivity or desensitization of the wireless circuitry. To detect and mitigate desensitization of the wireless circuitry, one or more processors may receive wireless circuitry performance metric data, discriminate between wideband interference and narrowband interference based on the wireless circuitry performance metric data, and use different representative noise floor values for wideband interference or narrowband interference to characterize the desensitization of the wireless circuitry.
