Techniques for improved wireless reliability are provided. It is determined that a client device is at least one of an augmented reality (AR) or a virtual reality (VR) device. A default set of retry parameters and a second set of retry parameters are determined, where the second set of retry parameters result in increased wireless reliability, as compared to the default set of retry parameters. Data is transmitted to the client device using the second set of retry parameters.

Wireless reliability for devices in motion

Techniques for improved wireless reliability are provided. It is determined that a client device is at least one of an augmented reality (AR) or a virtual reality (VR) device. A default set of retry parameters and a second set of retry parameters are determined, where the second set of retry parameters are more robust than the default set of retry parameters. Data is transmitted to the client device using the second set of retry parameters.

Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data transmissions are provided with a forward-predictive precoding matrix to mitigate the effects of a change in a state of a communication channel. First and second soundings are performed, at first and second times, to a receive antenna over a channel and, responsive to each of the soundings, first and second Channel State Information (CSI) are received. Based on the first and second CSI, a change in a state of the channel over a time period between the first and second time is determined. Based on the change in the state of the channel, a forward-predictive channel state matrix and/or a forward-predictive precoding matrix are determined that reflect a state of the channel at a future time and that are consistent with the determined change in the state over the time period. The forward-predictive precoding matrix is applied to a data transmission.

Forward predictive precoded MIMO

Techniques for improved wireless reliability are provided. Data is transmitted to a client device using a first set of retry parameters. It is determined that the client device is an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) device, and a second set of retry parameters is determined, where the second set of retry parameters are more robust than the first set of retry parameters. Data is transmitted to the client device using the second set of retry parameters.

An access point (AP) is configured to transmit packets to a client device over a communication channel. The AP determines a motion indictor indicative of motion of the client device based on a sequence of channel state information measurements, and measures a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The AP selects a transmission parameter among candidate transmission parameters using a learning-based algorithm based on observation parameters including the motion indicator, the SNR, and a device identifier for the client device. The AP employs the transmission parameter to transmit packets to the client device, and measures a transmission performance associated with the transmission parameter based on the transmitted packets. The AP updates the learning-based algorithm based on the observation parameters and the transmission performance for a next pass through the selecting, the employing, and the measuring.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) equalization using a Deep Neural Network (DNN) may be provided. First, a signal in a packet structure may be received at an OFDM receiver from an OFDM transmitter. The signal may have distortion. Training constellation points, pilot constellation points, and data constellation points may be extracted from the signal based on the packet structure. Each data constellation point may correspond to a data subcarrier within a data symbol of the signal. Next, the training constellation points and the pilot constellation may be provided as input for the data symbol to a DNN. A coefficient for each data subcarrier within the data symbol that reverses the distortion may be received as output from the DNN. Then, the coefficient for each data subcarrier may be applied to the corresponding data constellation point to determine a per subcarrier constellation point prediction.

In one implementation, a method includes generating a set of candidate objects based at least in part on a set of image data, where the set of image data includes image data from a plurality of image sources. The method also includes generating a set of visual signatures, wherein each of the visual signatures in the set of visual signatures characterizes a candidate object in the set of candidate objects. The method further includes transforming at least two candidate objects in the set of candidate objects into a single object according to a determination that correspondence between visual signatures for the at least two candidate objects satisfies one or more correspondence criteria.

In one implementation, a method of tracking assets includes obtaining a first image in a first optical domain, where the first optical domain is characterized by a first frequency range. The method also includes detecting a tracking apparatus (e.g., a tag) within the first image in the first optical domain, where a first feature of the tracking apparatus serves as a beacon enabling optical discrimination of the tracking apparatus in the first frequency range. The method further includes determining information associated with the tracking apparatus based on the arrangement of a second feature of the tracking apparatus provided to convey a data set associated with the tracking apparatus.

An exemplary method for writing packets in a data stream comprises the steps of dividing a packet into long packet cells and short packet cells, storing the long packet cells in a set of long cell queues and the short packet cells in a set of short cell queues, selectively pairing a long packet cell in one of the set of long cell queues with a short packet cell in one of the set of short cell queues to obtain an optimized pair of packet cells at each write cycle, and sequentially writing the optimized pair of packet cells at each write cycle to a set of memory banks. An exemplary method for reading packets in a data stream comprises the steps of receiving long cell requests and short cell requests, storing the long cell requests in a set of long cell request queues, storing the short cell requests in a set of short cell request queues, selectively pairing a long cell request in one of the set of long cell request queues and a short cell request in one of the set of short cell request queues to obtain an optimized pair of cell requests at each read cycle, retrieving packet cells corresponding to the optimized pair of cell requests from a set of memory banks at each read cycle, reordering the packet cells in a first data buffer, and sending the packet cells in a sequential order.
