Abstract:
System and method designed to allow different wireless carriers to provide wireless services using configurable infrastructure. The method includes receiving, from a first wireless network operator, first virtual RF configuration information and receiving, from a second wireless network operator, second virtual RF configuration information. A first portion of the configurable infrastructure and a first set of a plurality of physical antennas may then be configured, based upon the first virtual RF configuration information, into a first virtual RF configuration including a first virtual antenna. A second portion of the configurable infrastructure and a second set of the plurality of physical antennas may then be configured, based upon the second virtual RF configuration information, into a second virtual RF configuration including a second virtual antenna. Connections are established between the configurable infrastructure and wireless subscriber devices in accordance with the virtual RF configurations.
Abstract:
A system and method of operating an Internet of Things (IOT) device and an IOT manager device. The method includes determining, during operation of the IOT device in a low power mode, an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) transmission waveform using two-dimensional (2D) channel state information relevant to a delay-Doppler channel domain. The method further includes transmitting, during operation of the IOT device in a high power mode, the OTFS transmission waveform. The process of determining the OTFS transmission waveform may include, for example, receiving, from the IOT manager device, the 2D channel state information and storing it within a memory of the IOT device. Alternatively, at least one OTFS pilot transmission may be received from the IOT manager device and the 2D channel state information determined using the OTFS pilot transmission.
Abstract:
A method of data transmission including arranging a set of data elements into an original data frame having a first dimension of N elements and a second dimension of N elements, where N is greater than one. The method includes transforming the original data frame in accordance with a transformation matrix to form a first transformed data matrix having at least N2 transformed data elements wherein each of the transformed data elements is based upon a plurality of the data elements of the original data frame and wherein a first dimension of the first transformed data matrix corresponds to a frequency shift axis and a second dimension corresponds to a time shift axis. A permuted data matrix is formed by permuting at least a portion of the elements of the first transformed data matrix so as to shift the at least a portion of the elements with respect to the time shift axis. The method further includes transforming the permuted data matrix using a frequency-shift encoding matrix to form a transmit frame and generating a modulated signal in accordance with elements of the transmit frame.
Abstract:
A method for coordinated wireless network management applicable to overlay network access points. The method includes sending, from an overlay access point of a plurality of overlay access points to a coordinator device, wireless operational parameters characterizing operation of the one of the plurality of overlay access points. The overlay access point receives suggested operational information provided by the coordinator device. The suggested operational information causes modification of a perceived value of at least one operational parameter of the one of the plurality of overlay access points wherein the perceived value is different from an actual value of the operational parameter. The method further includes adjusting an operational mode of the overlay access point based upon the perceived value. The adjusting may be further based at least in part upon a negotiation of wireless access parameters between the overlay access point and one or more local wireless devices.

A system and method for orthogonal time frequency space communication and waveform generation. The method includes receiving a plurality of information symbols and encoding an N×M array containing the plurality of information symbols into a two-dimensional array of modulation symbols by spreading each of the plurality of information symbols with respect to both time and frequency. The two-dimensional array of modulation symbols is then transmitted using M mutually orthogonal waveforms included within M frequency sub-bands.
