Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for puncturing of structured low density parity check (LDPC) codes. A method for wireless communications by wireless node is provided. The method generally includes encoding a set of information bits based on a LDPC code to produce a code word, the LDPC code defined by a matrix having a first number of variable nodes and a second number of check nodes, puncturing the code word to produce a punctured code word, wherein the puncturing is performed according to a first puncturing pattern designed to puncture bits corresponding to one or more of the variable nodes having a certain degree of connectivity to the check nodes, and transmitting the punctured code word.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to low density parity check (LDPC) coding utilizing a configurable circular buffer for rate matched transmissions. The circular buffer may be configured based on a selected mother code rate and a fixed circular buffer length. For example, the respective sizes of the systematic and parity bit sections of the circular buffer may be variable based on the selected mother code rate.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method are provided for estimating the shortest time of arrival or the shortest round-trip time (RTT) of radio signals between communication devices in a wireless network. Filtering is performed by adaptive filters with suppressed side lobes adjustable in the time domain and widths of main lobes adjustable in the frequency domain to improve detection of signals on the shortest path of arrival or line-of-sight (LOS) path while mitigating the effects signals received from longer paths of arrival or non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths.

Abstract:
Systems and methods which implement repair bandwidth control techniques, such as may provide a feedback control structure for regulating repair bandwidth in the storage system. Embodiments control a source object repair rate in a storage system by analyzing source objects represented in a repair queue to determine repair rate metrics for the source objects and determining a repair rate based on the repair rate metrics to provide a determined level of recovery of source data stored as by the source objects and to provide a determined level of repair efficiency in the storage system. For example, embodiments may determine a per storage object repair rate (e.g., a repair rate preference for each of a plurality of source objects) and select a particular repair rate (e.g., a maximum repair rate) for use by a repair policy. Thereafter, the repair policy of embodiments may implement repair of one or more source objects in accordance with the repair rate.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for deriving an identifier encoded in a visible light communication (VLC) signal. One method includes capturing a first part of the VLC signal; extracting, from the first part of the VLC signal, a first pattern of bits representing at least a portion of the identifier encoded in the VLC signal; comparing the first pattern of bits to different portions of a plurality of identifiers; and identifying, based at least in part on the comparing, a subset of the plurality of identifiers as candidate matches to the identifier encoded in the VLC signal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods utilizing available storage space within a storage system (e.g., as “supplemental” storage) and/or implement less physical storage space in the storage system (e.g., reduced storage overhead) through operation of fragment pre-storage techniques are disclosed. Such fragment pre-storage utilization of the aforementioned available storage space may provide operation emulating larger storage overhead than is actually provided in the storage system, facilitate improved repair rates, and/or facilitate reduced repair bandwidth in the storage system according to embodiments. A fragment pre-storage repair policy may implement source object repair whereby additional fragments for the source object are pre-generated and pre-stored in the storage system as transient fragments, whereby the transient fragments are moved to corresponding storage nodes when those storage nodes become physically present in the storage system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods which implement one or more data organization techniques that facilitate efficient access to source data stored by a storage system are disclosed. Data organization techniques implemented according to embodiments are adapted to optimize (e.g., maximize) input/output efficiency and/or (e.g., minimize) storage overhead, while maintaining mean time to data loss, repair efficiency, and/or traffic efficiency. Data organization techniques as may be implemented by embodiments include blob based organization techniques, grouped symbols organization techniques, data ordering organization techniques, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that may determine phase offsets in wireless devices. In accordance with some embodiments, a phase of a local oscillator signal associated with transmission of data from a wireless device may be measured by generating a reference signal having a frequency that is a selected integer value times a frequency of a baseband clock signal, generating the local oscillator (LO) signal to have a frequency substantially equal to a carrier frequency of the data transmission, and mixing the reference signal and the LO signal to generate a mixed signal indicative of the phase of the LO signal.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for communication are provided. The apparatus obtains a message for communication using visible light communication (VLC) through a light emitting diode (LED) luminary device and formats the message using a synchronization signal followed by one or more data signals. The synchronization signal and/or the one or more data signals are modulated using a Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation scheme. The apparatus further receives a dimming level value associated with a brightness of light to be emitted from the LED luminary device, generates a waveform with frequencies based on the formatted message and a duty cycle for the LED luminary device based on the dimming level value, and sends the generated waveform to the LED luminary device for communication using VLC.
