Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device (e.g., user equipment (UE), base station) may determine a block fading pattern associated with a communication link between the first wireless device and a second wireless device, the block fading pattern including a pattern of fluctuating channel quality. The first wireless device may selectively adjust one or more communications parameters for communicating with the second wireless device over the communication link based on the determined block fading pattern. The first wireless device may then communicate with the second wireless device over the communication link based at least in part on the one or more adjusted communications parameters.

A wireless communication unit to facilitate determining a plurality of communication link cost metrics at a receiving wireless communication unit using a multiple modulation and coding scheme, MCS, in a wireless mesh network, is described. A transmitter transmits sounding transmissions to at least two neighboring wireless communication units. A processor generates a sounding burst comprising: a plurality of multicast sounding transmissions that employ a different MCS; and a plurality of parameters contained at an application layer protocol level. The plurality of parameters comprises: an intra-burst sequence number for each MCS transmitted within each multicast sounding transmission; an indication of a number of sounding transmissions in the sounding burst; and an index value that references a particular table within a set of tables which is then used to determine a transmission bit rate, B, at the receiving unit for each multicast sounding transmission within the sounding burst.

A method and system to improve the link budget of a wireless system using fast Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) protocol. In one embodiment of the invention, the Medium Access Control (MAC) logic in a base station determines whether the quality of the communication link with a mobile station is bad. When the MAC logic in the base station determines that the quality is bad, the base station uses a fast Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) protocol to indicate to the mobile station to send identical information to the base station in each of a plurality of successive or consecutive communication intervals before processing any received identical information from the mobile station. The fast HARQ protocol reduces the latency of receiving the identical information correctly, as compared with the current HARQ protocol.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for selecting modulation and coding schemes (MCS) per-sub-band, and in some examples, per-stream. In some examples, channel condition metrics regarding wireless communication conditions from a communication node of a wireless access system may be received. Based at least on the received channel condition metrics, a modulation and coding scheme may be selected. In some examples, the selected modulation and coding scheme may be transmitted to various modulators/demodulators, encoders/decoders, and/or other communication nodes within the wireless access system.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can rapidly evaluate a faulted message in 5G or 6G, calculate a likelihood that each message element is faulted, and optionally suggest a most probable corrected version for each of the likely faulted message elements. To do so, the AI takes in numerous factors besides the message itself, such as the modulation quality of each message element, the proximity and quality of a nearest demodulation reference, a signal-to-noise ratio of the message element, a measure of current electromagnetic noise during the message element, an expected format or expected codewords based on prior messages or convention, and other factors. The AI model can then provide guidance as to mitigation, such as choosing whether to request a retransmission or attempting to vary the likely faulted message elements. The AI model can be adapted to fixed-site computers or to the more limited computers of a mobile user device.

Embodiments herein provide a method for machine learning-based data rate control in a wireless network system. The method includes detecting a rate change event by a data rate controller for at least one receiving node in the wireless network system. Furthermore, the method includes dynamically generating a data rate configuration comprising a data rate configuration comprising a plurality of rates, and an accuracy level of each of the rates. The method further includes determining by the data rate controller that the accuracy level of at least one rate from the plurality of rates meets an accuracy criteria and causing by the data rate controller to transmit at least one packet using the at least one rate.

A transmitter for transmitting payload data and emergency information using data symbols in a single-carrier or multi-carrier broadcast system comprises a modulator configured to modulate one or more transmission symbols with signaling data for use in detecting and recovering the payload data at a receiver and to modulate one or more transmission symbols with the payload data. An emergency information receiver receives emergency information carrying information of an actual emergency. An emergency information embedder embeds emergency information into one or more transmission symbols, wherein the emergency information is embedded within a predetermined time period after its reception by using a resource used for carrying signaling data and/or payload data if no emergency information shall be transmitted. A transmission unit transmits the transmission symbols.

Apparatus and methods of bandwidth part (BWP) operation for multiple downlink control information (DCI) based multiple transmit receive points (TRP) transmission are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a receiver that receives a plurality of Downlink Control Information (DCIs) in a slot, each of the DCIs having a Bandwidth Part (BWP) indicator field for indicating a BWP for a corresponding downlink (DL) reception or uplink (UL) transmission; and a processor that detects whether any one of the BWPs indicated in the DCIs is different from a current BWP which is used to receive the DCIs; and, upon detection that at least one of the BWPs indicated by the DCIs is different from the current BWP, configures the receiver and/or a transmitter to perform a BWP change.

The present disclosure relates to a method, a medium, a program product, and a modem for setting modulation modes. The method includes detecting by a modem whether a modulation mode of the modem is inverted, the modem being capable of operating in a plurality of modulation modes, and each modulation mode having a different modulation order; and in response to the determination that the number of times of inversion of the modulation mode within a first predetermined time has reached a threshold, setting by the modem the modulation mode of the modem to a modulation mode other than a modulation mode with the highest modulation order in all modulation modes included in the inversion process and maintaining the set modulation mode for a second predetermined time. By the above method, the modulation mode is prevented from repeatedly inverting, thereby maintaining the downstream data throughput at a high level.
