Title: Method and system for multiband interference mitigation with multipath cancellation
Inventor: MARK ROZENTAL
IPC: H04B1/525
Filed: 2015-04-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for mitigating multiband self-interference using multipath cancellation. A dual-band transceiver receives an incoming radio-frequency signal that includes a multipath self-interference component generated by the transmission of an outgoing radio-frequency signal. The transceiver creates a plurality of reference signals from the outgoing radio-frequency signal by introducing delay values with respect to the outgoing signal. The transceiver adjusts the amplitude and phase of each of the delayed reference signals and combines the resulting signals with the incoming radio-frequency signal to cancel the self-interference component. The delay values may be determined adaptively. The systems and methods described herein are particularly useful for dual-band transceivers capable of communicating simultaneously using Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wideband signals and Public-Safety Narrowband (PSNB) signals.

IPC: H01M8/04119
Filed: 2017-12-27
Abstract: A liquid level state detection apparatus 10 includes a float portion 20 which is guided by a guide rod 45 erected in a liquid storage tank 1 for storing a liquid 2, and which enables the float to move in a vertical direction, and a pair of electrode portions 30 which are fixed integrally to the float portion 20, and which are disposed opposite each other in the vertical direction. A space defined between the upper electrode plate 31 and the lower electrode plate 32 is opened outwards via a plurality of window portions 36, so that the liquid 2 stored in the liquid storage tank 1 and air inside the liquid storage tank 1 are allowed to enter and exit from the space freely. A stopper 46 is provided at a lower portion of the guide rod 45. If the amount of liquid is greater than a predetermined amount then liquid 2 fills the space between the electrode plates, fig. 2. If the level is lower than stopper 46, the space between the electrode plates is exposed to air. If the tank is inclined the space between the electrodes plates is exposed to a mix of air and water. The level of the liquid 2 and an inclination of the liquid storage tank 1 is detected based on a capacitance between the pair of electrode portions 30 which changes according to the permittivity of the insulating material which is interposed between the pair of electrode portions 30. The electrode portions may comprise a plurality of divided electrode portions. The buoyancy of the float portion 20 can be controlled for different specific gravity liquids by sealing a fluid of a smaller specific gravity than that of the liquid 2 in the sealed space 21 by opening lid portion 22.

Title: Improvements in and relating to random access in a telecommunication network
Inventor: SHANGBIN WU
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station information regarding a response delay interval. The UE transmits a random access preamble to the base station and enters a power-saving mode for the duration of the response delay interval, before monitoring for a response from the BS to the preamble in a random access response window. The method is applied in a non-terrestrial network such as a satellite network or integrated access backhaul (IAB) network where large propagation delays for messages between UE and base station. Also discloses is a response delay interval estimator for use in a base station which estimates the required delay interval based on one or more of base station altitude, base station target coverage, 3D geographical layout, load associated with one or more relay points and base station processing capability.

IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2017-01-10
Abstract: A physical access point 110 provides multiple virtual access points (VAPs), each of which caters for a respective group of stations. The access point transmits a management frame for the stations, this including information elements for each of the station groups. The information element for a first group includes random access parameters (RAPS) for use by stations both in the first group but also other groups. These parameters may be used by the other groups by default unless their own respective information elements specify the same parameters. The parameters are used by the stations to contend for access to multi-user uplink resources reserved by trigger frames, and may include a contention window range. The management frame may have a transmitter address field set to a MAC address of the first VAP, and may be a beacon frame or a probe response frame. Each group of stations may be identified by a basic service set identifier (BSSID). The scheme is directed for use in 802.11ax WLANs.
