Technologies directed to rate adaption based on both the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and standard deviation are described. One method includes determining an average SNR value and a standard deviation value for a first set of RSSI samples. The method determines whether the average SNR value satisfies a first threshold criterion corresponding to a minimum SNR required with a first modulation scheme and a second threshold criterion corresponding to a standard deviation threshold. The method causes a transmitter to use the first modulation scheme for a subsequent packet, responsive to the average SNR value satisfying the first threshold criterion or the standard deviation value satisfying the second threshold criterion. The method causes the transmitter to use the second modulation scheme for the subsequent packet, responsive to the average SNR value not satisfying the first threshold criterion and the standard deviation value not satisfying the second threshold criterion.

Mitigating shadow fading and interference by a receiver

Mitigating shadow fading and interference

A system that coordinates audio output among multiple devices to perform noise cancellation in one room of noise resulting from audio output of another. The system uses information from the source of the audio output along with calibration information to coordinate the noise cancellation, which may involve delaying of audio output by the aggressor device.

Coordinated multi-device noise cancellation

Technologies directed to digital active interference cancellation (d-AIC) for full duplex transmit-receive (TX-RX) concurrency. An integrated circuit can include first and second analog front-ends (AFE) and digital front-end (DFE) circuits and a digital AIC circuit that generates a scaled and delayed replica of a first quadrature (IQ) sample corresponding to first data transmitted by the first AFE circuit which is being coupled into the receiver as aggressor. The digital AIC circuit receives a second IQ sample from the second AFE circuit, the second IQ sample corresponding to second data being received by the second AFE circuit. The digital AIC circuit subtracts the scaled and delayed replica of the first IQ sample from the second IQ sample to obtain a third IQ sample and sends the third IQ sample to the second DFE circuit. Third IQ sample is the desired signal when d-AIC cancels the self-interference.

Digital active interference cancellation for full duplex transmit-receive (TX-RX) concurrency

Techniques for a communication device with a receiver to dynamically control the gain of an analog front end of the receiver. Rather than having a single circuit path in the analog front end, the analog front end includes multiple circuit paths, and dynamically selects one of the circuit paths that optimizes the gain of the analog front end. For example, an amplifier circuit path may be selected to amplify the power level of the signal received from the antenna. However, the analog front end may further include an attenuator circuit path that includes an attenuator to reduce the power level of a high-power input signal received from the antenna to ensure that the high-power signal is attenuated below a power level associated with saturation of the receiver.
