Abstract

A wireless communication system includes TX and RX signal restructure units for digital baseband signal processing. The TX signal restructure unit receives single-ended input signals and applies configurable weight coefficients to generate common-mode and differential-mode output signals through mathematical transformation operations. The RX signal restructure unit performs inverse operations, receiving common-mode and differential-mode input signals and recovering original single-ended signals using corresponding weight matrices. Both restructure units operate in multiple modes with different coefficient configurations, enabling adaptive signal processing based on channel conditions. The units are positioned in the baseband section to reduce RF front-end losses while providing precise control of signal relationships. An RF communication system integrates the restructure units with digital processing circuits, transceivers and antennas to achieve MIMO operation.

Abstract

An electronic device includes a processor and a hardware circuit. The processor utilizes an instruction set architecture (ISA) to transmit a first request with a first verification key to the hardware circuit, for requesting the hardware circuit to execute a system task in an unprivileged mode. The hardware circuit determines whether to access a target hardware address according to the first verification key. In response to the processor being initially in a privileged mode, the processor transmits a second request to the hardware circuit for requesting the hardware circuit to generate a key. The hardware circuit writes the key into the target hardware address as a second verification key, and returns the key to the processor as the first verification key. In response to the processor being returned from the unprivileged mode to the privileged mode, the processor requests the hardware circuit to regenerate the key.

Abstract

For 6G systems, new preamble formats are proposed to accommodate even lower bandwidths, further improving uplink CNR and communication reliability in NTN scenarios. These new preamble formats feature flexible frequency and time domain resource occupation, depending on the subcarrier spacing (SCS) and preamble sequence length, and can span multiple slots based on network configuration. The proposed methods address critical challenges in random-access processes, uplink link budget optimization, and GNSS error calculation. In one aspect, the invention proposes methods for designing back-to-back preambles, data-back-to-preamble and cyclic prefix (CP) designs for PRACH preambles where the CP duration is set to integer multiples of 144 preambles, with various subcarrier spacings (SCS), including 1.25 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 3.75 kHz, 5 kHz, 7.5 kHz, 15 kHz, and larger than 15 kHz. These methods ensure efficient and reliable random-access procedures, reducing latency and improving overall user experience. Additionally, the invention introduces methods for GNSS error calculation method, which is critical for accurate positioning and synchronization in wireless communication systems. This method improves the precision of error estimation, enabling more reliable network operations.

Abstract

A video coding method that generates and uses out-of-bound (OOB) padding samples as reference is provided. A video coder receives data to be encoded or decoded as a current picture of a video. The video coder generates OOB padding samples of the current picture by using a motion information of a boundary block of the current picture to fetch samples of a first reference block in a first reference picture. The video coder computes an offset value based on a first DC value of the boundary block and a second DC value of the first reference block. The first and second DC values are calculated based on reconstructed samples without in-loop filtering. The video coder applies the offset value to the padding samples. The video coder derives a candidate reference picture based on the current picture and the padding samples for encoding or decoding a subsequent picture in the video.

Abstract

Current steering digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are described. These DACs are suitable for high speed operation. Weight transistors conventionally used in DACs are replaced with resistors, resulting in a lower RC constant. Further, the resistors cause a smaller voltage drop, thus improving the voltage headroom of the DAC. Additionally, the current steering switches are biased in the triode region, as opposed to the saturation region as in conventional designs. Biasing the switches in the triode region results in a smaller drain-source voltage, which further improves the voltage headroom of the DAC. The triode operation further results in a substantially smaller output impedance, which leads to the output voltage being dictated primarily by the output transistor of the current path. Lastly, reset switches are added which reduce data-dependent memory effects that can otherwise produce distortion.

The UE performs latency measurement on the packets according to a latency measurement configuration to obtain latency of the packets. The UE generates a latency measurement report with the latency of the packets measured, and transmits the latency measurement report to one or more report receiving stations according to a latency report configuration. Upon receiving the latency measurement report, the report receiving stations may perform transmission reconfiguration.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for video coding are disclosed. According to the method, the current block is partitioned into a first region and a second region along a partition line. A target candidate list comprising one or more GPM (Geometry Partition Mode) subblock candidates corresponding to one or more GPM subblock modes for one of the first region and the second region is derived. Said one of the first region and the second region are encoded or decoded using the target candidate list comprising said one or more GPM subblock candidates. According to another method, an inherited LIC (Local Illumination Compensation) flag is determined by inheriting a reference LIC flag associated with a reference block of the current block.

Abstract

Examples pertaining to a low complexity mode of distributed high-rank MIMO transmission in mobile communications are described. A mobile communication device communicating with a network node generates first precoding information implying a first precoding matrix and second precoding information implying a second precoding matrix according to a first channel response between the network node and a first group of antennas thereof, a second channel response between the network node and a second group of antennas thereof, and an assumption that a first signal precoded by the first precoding matrix and a second signal precoded by the second precoding matrix are transmitted from the network node on the same time-frequency resources. The first signal is decoded based on radio frequency (RF) signals received by the first group of antennas, and the second signal is decoded based on RF signals received by the second group of antennas
