Millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-mmWave technology, apparatuses, and methods that relate to transceivers and receivers for wireless communications are described. The various aspects include an apparatus of a communication device including one or more antennas configured to receive an RF signal and an ADC system. The ADC system includes a 1-bit ADC configured to receive the RF signal, and an ADC controller circuitry configured to measure a number of positive samples in the received RF signal for a plurality of thresholds of the 1-bit ADC, estimate receive signal power associated with the received RF signal based on the measured number of positive samples, determine a direct current (DC) offset in the received RF signal using the estimated received signal power, and adjust the received RF signal based on the determined DC offset.

Equalization and estimation processing in wireless devices

A communication circuit arrangement includes a first kernel dimension filter circuit configured to apply a first kernel dimension filter to a first input signal to estimate a first kernel dimension interference signal from a first amplifier, a second kernel dimension filter circuit configured to apply a second kernel dimension filter to a second input signal to estimate a second kernel dimension interference signal from a second amplifier, a joint delay tap dimension filter configured to apply a joint delay tap dimension filter to a combination of the first kernel dimension interference signal and the second kernel dimension interference signal to obtain an estimated joint interference signal, and a cancelation circuit configured to remove the estimated joint interference signal from a received signal to obtain a clean signal.

Apparatuses and methods for joint interference cancelation

This disclosure describes methods and devices related to self-interference cancellation. A device is disclosed comprising: at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause to send at least one first symbol sequence at least twice on a first transmit chain and at least one second symbol sequence twice on a second transmit chain. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine at least one third symbol sequence at least twice on a first receive chain and at least one fourth symbol sequence at least twice on a second receive chain. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a first impulse response of a first power amplifier on the first transmit chain and a second impulse response of a second power amplifier on the second transmit chain. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a first aggregate impulse response associated with one or more first devices on the first transmit chain and the first receive chain. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a second aggregate impulse response associated with one or more second devices on the second transmit chain and the second receive chain. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a third impulse response based at least in part on the first and second impulse response, and the first and second aggregate impulse response. The processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to determine an estimate of the third impulse response based at least in part on the at least one first symbol sequence or the at least one second symbol sequence.

Full-duplex self-interference cancellation

An apparatus and a method for detecting data transmitted over a wireless channel are disclosed. For example, for each receive antenna of a plurality of receive antennas, the method converts, by an ADC, an analog signal received by the receive antenna to a respective digital signal, and for each receive antenna of the plurality of receive antennas, the method channel transforms, by a channel transformer, the digital signal to determine a respective equivalent integer representation of the digital signal, and the method detects data by receive combining, by a receive combiner, the respective equivalent integer representations of the digital signals determined for the plurality of receive antennas.

Apparatus and a method for data detecting using a low bit analog-to-digital converter

A technique for setting the transmission powers of individual D2D (device-to-device) transmitters using a distributed power control technique is described. Each individual D2D transmitter learns the interference levels that it imposes on an eNB (evolved Node B) and on D2D receivers other than its partner D2D receiver. The D2D transmitter is then able to adjust its transmission power accordingly. Such managing of interference temperature via distributed power control enables the network to maximize its reuse of time-frequency resources.

Distributed power control for D2D communications

Described are techniques for managing the interference produced by D2D (device-to-device) transmissions that may be used in conjunction with transmit power control but operate independently. In one technique, interference between D2D transmissions and cellular uplink transmissions using common resources as received at a base station is managed by opportunistic interference alignment and clustering of D2D devices. In another technique, interference between different D2D devices using the same resources is mitigated by base-station aided space-time interference alignment.
