SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWERING RE-GENERATION AND RE-TRANSMISSION OF MILLIMETER WAVES FOR BUILDING PENETRATION
A system for providing a residential IP network includes a plurality of transceiver circuitries, each associated with a building, for transmitting signals to/from the associated building. An optical network unit transmits and receives signals at a first frequency with an optical network. A remote unit integrated with the optical network unit converts the received signals at the first frequency into a first format that overcome losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building over a wireless communications link and transmits the signals in the first format using beam forming and beam steering to provide the wireless signals to at least one of the plurality of transceiver circuitries. Each of the plurality of transceiver circuitries further includes first circuitry, located on an exterior of the building, for transmitting and receiving the signals in the first format. A first antenna associated with the first circuitry for transmits the signals in the first format into the interior of the building via a wireless communications link and receives signals from the interior of the building in the first format via the wireless communications link. Second circuitry, located on the interior of the building and communicatively linked with the first circuitry via the wireless communications link, receives and transmits the converted received signals in the first format that counteracts the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building from/to the first circuitry. A second antenna associated with the second circuitry transmits the signals in the first format to the exterior of the building via the wireless communications link and receives signals from the exterior of the building in the first format via the wireless communications link.
TECHNIQUES FOR SIGNALING A SOURCE OF DOMINANT NOISE AT A USER EQUIPMENT
This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for pre-compensation of downlink communication based on a transmission of a request for the pre-compensation from a user equipment (UE). For example, the UE may determine an impairment at the UE that has a greater severity (a greater impact on downlink communication) or is associated with a greater amount of resources for processing relative to a remainder of a set of impairments that is experienced at the UE and the UE may transmit a request for pre-compensation of the impairment by a base station. The base station may transmit feedback to the UE indicating a confirmation of pre-compensation for the impairment by the base station or to deferment of compensation for the impairment back to the UE. If the base station acknowledges pre-compensation for the impairment, the base station may pre-compensate a downlink transmission to the UE for the impairment.
Systems and methods for TDR using standing waves and an injected test signal
Systems and methods provide for a network test that by capturing in-phase values of a reflected signal off a transmission medium or irregularity therein. The in-phase values are converted to time-domain, which is then halved and converted back to the frequency domain to identify calculated quadrature values associated with the measured in-phase values. The measured in-phase values and calculated quadrature values may be used to determine impedance reflection/transmission characteristics of transmission medium or an irregularity therein. The measured in-phase values and calculated quadrature values may be used to determine if the transmission medium is minimum phase.
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING SHAPE-SHIFTED SINUSOIDAL WAVEFORMS
A data communication method in which input digital data is received and encoded into an encoded waveform having zero crossings representative of the input digital data. The encoding includes generating the encoded waveform based upon a continuous piecewise function having sinusoidal components. The continuous piecewise function may be used in generating a plurality of symbol waveforms, each of which occupies a period of the encoded waveform and represents bits of the input digital data. The plurality of symbol waveforms are defined so that a value of a phase offset used in the continuous piecewise function is different for each of the plurality of symbol waveforms, thereby resulting in each symbol waveform having a different zero crossing. An encoded analog waveform is generated from a representation of the encoded waveform and transmitted to a receiver.

The transceiver includes: (i) a transmit signal path; (ii) a calibration path, comprising a conductor to connect a calibration tone into the transmit signal path; (iii) a receive signal path, comprising a first data signal path to process a first data and a second data signal path, different than the first data signal path, to process a second data; (iv) a first capacitive coupling to couple a response to the calibration tone from the transmit signal path to the first data signal path; and (v) a second capacitive coupling to couple a response to the calibration tone from the transmit signal path to the second data signal path.
Distortion probing reference signals
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device and a second device may communicate via a channel. The first device may generate and transmit a reference signal, which may be a distortion probing reference signal with a high peak to average power ratio. In one implementation, the first device may use the reference signal as an input for a neural network model to learn a nonlinear response of the second device transmission components. In another implementation, the second device may sample the generated reference signal, and use the samples as inputs for a neural network model to learn the nonlinear response. The first device and the second device may exchange signaling based on learning the nonlinear response, and each device may compensate for the nonlinear response when communicating via the channel.
Calibration for mismatch in receiver circuitry with multiple samplers
Receiver circuitries having multiple branches, such as unrolled feedback equalizers and fractional-rate receivers, may present differences between filtering elements of different branches with common filter inputs. Embodiments include devices capable of calibration that compensates such differences. The devices may be capable of introducing front-end offsets to emphasize the mismatches, and sweep filter input values to calculate the mismatches, and introducing offsets in the branches to compensate for the mismatches. Methods for use of the calibration devices are also described.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USING A PHASE TRACKING REFERENCE SIGNAL WITH A SINGLE CARRIER WAVEFORM
Aspects of the present application provide methods and devices for a phase tracking reference (PT-RS) scheme for use by a single carrier Offset QAM (SC-OQAM) transmitter and receiver to estimate, and correct, phase errors that occur over the communication link between the SC-OQAM transmitter and receiver. Phase errors can occur due to, for example, phase noise or carrier frequency offset (CFO). A PT-RS that includes PT-RS symbols can be used to track phase error. As a result of SC-OQAM waveform generation, real-valued PT-RS symbols may incur imaginary valued interference and imaginary-valued PT-RS symbols may incur real-valued interference. In order to effectively use the PT-RS to estimate and compensate for the phase noise, the interference must be appropriately considered.
High spectral efficiency data communications system
A method of recovering information encoded by a modulated sinusoidal waveform having first, second, third and fourth data notches at respective phase angles, where a power of the modulated sinusoidal waveform is reduced relative to a power of an unmodulated sinusoidal waveform within selected ones of the first, second, third and fourth data notches so as to encode input digital data. The method includes receiving the modulated sinusoidal waveform and generating digital values representing the modulated sinusoidal waveform. A digital representation of the unmodulated sinusoidal waveform is subtracted from the digital values in order to generate a received digital data sequence, which includes digital data notch values representative of the amplitude of the modulated sinusoidal waveform within the first, second, third and fourth data notches. The input digital data is then estimated based upon the digital data notch values.
