AI-Assisted Selection of Demodulation Reference Type in 5G and 6G
20230231685 · 2023-07-20 ·

Demodulation of 5G and 6G messages involves complex demodulation reference signals that occupy valuable resource grid area. Disclosed are numerous configurations of short-form demodulation reference types that provide sufficient modulation information to enable a receiver to determine all of the predetermined modulation levels of the modulation scheme, while consuming minimal resources. Selection of the appropriate modulation scheme and demodulation reference type generally depends on many competing factors. Therefore, an AI model may be required. The AI model may be trained on network data to recommend when a different modulation scheme would be beneficial, as the network default or to serve a particular user device. The AI model may be configured to select between the disclosed short-form demodulation references and prior-art demodulation reference signals, thereby optimizing the subsequent network performance as well as individual user satisfaction, while minimizing costs, bandwidth, power, and especially avoiding interference with neighboring cells.

How to Maximize Phase-Noise Margins in 5G and 6G
20230231645 · 2023-07-20 ·

Enhanced phase-noise mitigation is possible at low-to-no cost. Communication at the high frequencies envisioned for late 5G and 6G will require much better phase-noise control than current frequency bands, because the tight margins will result in excessive phase faults and greatly reduced throughput. The disclosed examples show how to use two modulation schemes to provide the best phase margins at the final step. For example, the message can be initially modulated in classical amplitude-phase modulation as transmitted, but is received and processed using convenient QAM orthogonal components. Then the receiver can convert the results back to the amplitude-phase modulation scheme analytically, and can finally demodulate using calibrated amplitude and phase levels derived from a proximate demodulation reference. Since the amplitude-phase modulation scheme provides substantially larger phase margins than QAM with the same information content, substantially higher frequencies can be accessed while retaining high reliability.

Identifying Faulted Message Elements by Modulation Consistency in 5G/6G
20230224196 · 2023-07-13 ·

Disclosed is a method to demodulate messages according to two different modulation schemes in 5G and 6G, and thereby identifying which message elements are likely faulted. The two modulation schemes are QAM in which the signal is a sum of two orthogonal amplitude-modulated “branch” signals, and classical amplitude-phase modulation in which each message element's raw signal is both amplitude and phase modulated. The two schemes have similar information density but different noise sensitivities. Therefore, a receiver can compare the demodulated message using one modulation scheme to the same message demodulated according to the other modulation scheme, and flag any message elements that demodulate differently. In addition, one modulation scheme may be more effective than the other depending on conditions.
