IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems Draft Amendment: Management Information Base Extensions

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) technology can enable unique system capabilities and network architectures by allowing devices to transmit and receive on the same frequency at the same time. While previously considered impossible, this ability can now be used to optimize resource sharing within the crowded frequency spectrum for various communication systems, including 5G new radio. The potential of these IBFD systems can only be realized if each device incorporates a sufficient number of self-interference cancellation techniques to ensure that its receivers do not saturate. This tutorial survey offers the most comprehensive collection to date of these techniques and discusses how all of them can be implemented within the different domains of a typical transceiver. In addition, the results of a novel IBFD system study are presented for more than 50 demonstrated communication systems with more than 80 different measurement scenarios. The various system parameters are then combined into a new figure of merit, which can be used to propel future research and accelerate the inclusion of IBFD technology within an upcoming wireless standard.

In-Band Full-Duplex Technology: Techniques and Systems Survey

Fast and reliable time and frequency synchronization is crucial for packet-based orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) systems. In this paper we compare and analyze preambles for OFDM systems based on repeated OFDM data symbols or repeated short pseudonoise sequences (PN-sequences). We make an analytical evaluation for AWGN channels and simulate the performance in oneand two-tap Rayleigh fading channels. The PN-based preamble gives better detection properties in terms of lower false detection probability and lower probability of missing the synchronization signal. The PN-based preamble has low peak-to-average power ratio and it makes it possible to use an ADC with one-bit quantization in stand-by mode. For frequency offset estimation both preambles give similar performance, but the PN-based preamble allows for a greater reduction in stand-by mode power consumption.

A block-request streaming system provides for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be served by the file server, which might or might not include a cache. A client device can be adapted to take advantage of the ingestion process as well as including improvements that make for a better presentation independent of the ingestion process. In the block-request streaming system, the an ingestion system generates data according to erasure codes and the client device, through various selection and timing of requests for media data and redundant data, can efficiently decode media to provide for presentations.

The embodiments described herein methods and devices that enhance the endurance of a non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory). The method includes obtaining, for each of the plurality of die, an endurance metric. The method also includes sorting the plurality of die into a plurality of die groups based on their corresponding endurance metrics, where each die group includes one or more die and each die group is associated with a range of endurance metrics. In response to a write command specifying a set of write data, the method further includes writing the write data to the non-volatile memory by writing in parallel subsets of the write data to the one or more die assigned to a single die group of the plurality of die groups.

The present invention relates to a low density parity check (LDPC) encoding method and an apparatus thereof. In the LDPC encoding method, a matrix multiplication corresponding to ET−1 and T−1 is eliminated according to a structural characteristic in an encoding process. Accordingly, shift weights that are not −1 among shift weights corresponding to partial blocks A, B, and C of a parity check matrix are used to perform an encoding operation, and a cyclic shift operation of an information unit block is performed in parallel so that a first parity block and a second parity block may be simultaneously generated.

The encoder comprises a parity check matrix generator for generating a parity check matrix H; and a codeword generator for processing the parity check matrix H to generate a codeword, and the codeword generator comprises: an AB analyzer for analyzing the parity check matrix H into matrixes A and B; a pivoting unit for pivoting the parity check matrix H; a bit-reversing unit for bit-reversing the pivoted matrix; an LU analyzer for analyzing the matrix A into matrixes L and U; and a codeword generator unit for performing a logical operation on the matrixes A, B, L and U. A bit-reversing method is used to effectively generate a parity check matrix having a high girth by using a regular encoder.

The performance of the ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) signal detection method is well known to depend on the successful detection of the first layer. In a previous work, in an effort to mitigate the error propagation effect, all the constellation points were tried as the first layer symbol, thereby achieving a better performance. In this letter, we show that the selection of the first layer impacts the error performance significantly, and based on the observation, we propose a novel signal detection method QR-LRL. In the proposed work, the least reliable layer (LRL) is chosen to be the first layer, which is shown to be the best choice in terms of noise enhancement in detecting the other layers. Also, we discuss Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) computation when the proposed method is used. Computer simulations confirm the efficacy of the proposed method.

QR-LRL Signal Detection for Spatially Multiplexed MIMO Systems

When a base station of a time division duplex based mobile communication system receives an initial ranging request signal from a subscriber station, the base station generates initial ranging information including delay time information to the subscriber station, and receives uplink data delayed and transmitted using a delay time from the subscriber station. Also, when the subscriber station transmits an initial ranging request signal to the base station and receives initial ranging information including delay time information from the base station, the subscriber station establishes a transmission parameter value by using the transmission parameter value included in the initial ranging information and transmits uplink data by using the established delay time.
