The present invention relates to a method for adapting a link using a polar-modulation (PQAM) constellation. It applies in particular to the communications in the sub-THz band, in which the oscillator of the receiver has phase fluctuations. In a PQAM-modulation constellation, the modulation symbols are distributed on concentric circles equidistant in the complex plane, each circle including the same number of symbols, the angular distribution of the symbols on a circle being uniform and identical regardless of the circle. The adaptation of the link is carried out by taking into account the thermal noise as well as the phase noise.

In various examples there is a communications network comprising a plurality of nodes connected via an interconnection medium to form a receive-from-many communications network. The network has a synchronisation mechanism which synchronizes a signal frequency of the nodes. The network has at least one store holding signal amplitude data of signals previously sent between specified pairs of nodes of the communications network. An amplitude controller uses the stored data to adjust amplitudes of signals communicated between at least one of the pairs of nodes of the communications network.

A method for detecting times-of-arrival of signals comprising, at a receiving node: during a time slot, receiving a signal comprising a carrier signal characterized by a carrier frequency and modulated by a template signal defining a code sequence characterized by a transmitter chip period; demodulating the signal according to a local oscillator frequency to generate a received baseband signal, the local oscillator frequency and the carrier frequency defining a desynchronization ratio characterized by a denominator greater than a threshold denominator; sampling the received baseband signal at the transmitter chip period to generate a set of digital samples; generating a reconstructed baseband signal based on the set of digital samples; calculating a cross-correlation function comprising a cross-correlation of the reconstructed baseband signal and the template signal; and calculating, on the fine time grid, a time-of-arrival of the signal based on the cross-correlation function.

Various aspects described herein relate to techniques for synchronization channel design and signaling in wireless communications systems (e.g., a 5th Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) system). In an aspect, a method includes identifying a frequency band supported by a user equipment (UE), identifying one or more frequency locations based on the identified frequency band, and the one or more frequency locations are a subset of synchronization raster points used for synchronization signal transmission. The method further includes searching for at least one synchronization signal based on the one or more identified frequency locations.

A restraint control module is provided in this disclosure. The restraint control module is configured to communicate a sync pulse to a sensor. The control module may include a sync pulse driver circuit and a memory. The memory may store the waveform profile of a sync pulse. The sync pulse driver circuit generates a sync pulse in response to the waveform profile stored in the memory. The sync pulse may be transmitted to one or more sensors. The waveform profile stored in the memory may be derived from a sync pulse with reduced electro-magnetic emissions by applying spectrum analysis.
