摘要: In a 5G or 6G network with high traffic density, wireless users are often forced to delay important transmissions, to avoid interference with other users. For enhanced efficiency and reduced overall latency, a base station can provide an uplink grant to the waiting user before the mandated delay has expired, thereby avoiding wasted time and wasted resources. The base station can determine which user has waited the longest time, and can provide the grant to that longest-delayed user. Message priority and length, and other factors, can also be considered in selecting which user to accelerate, depending on network rules. By allowing a delayed user to immediately transmit when conditions allow, the base station can reduce the average delay per message transmission, assist users in uploading their messages, and enhance network efficiency generally.

摘要: Human drivers generally cannot plan a collision evasion maneuver in the brief interval before impact, other than simply slamming on the brakes and hoping for the best. Often the collision could have been avoided by swerving or other sequence of actions. Therefore, improved collision avoidance and mitigation procedures are disclosed, based on a well-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model that takes over the accelerator, brake, and steering in an emergency. With fast electronic reflexes and AI-based computational power, the AI model can find a more effective avoidance maneuver, or at least an action that would minimize the harm (for example, by swerving to miss the passenger compartment). The AI model can then implement the sequence instantly, without fear or hesitation. The result—fewer collisions and less fatality on our highways.

摘要: Timing is crucial for next-generation networks at 5G and 6G high frequencies. Disclosed are very brief timing signals, and low-complexity procedures for processing them, to obtain a precision time-base lock between a base station and its user devices. In contrast to conventional modulation, the disclosed timing signals feature a change in modulation centrally positioned in a timing resource element. Since the time boundaries of the resource element at the receiver are determined by the receiver's clock, while the actual time of the timing signal is determined by the base station's clock, a displacement of the received timing signal from the midpoint of the resource element indicates a clock offset between the user device and the base station. In addition, by measuring the interval between successive timing signals, the user device can correct its clock rate, and thereby bring the subcarrier frequencies into agreement with the base station.

摘要: Message faulting is a critical unsolved problem for 5G and 6G. Disclosed herein is a method for combining an AI-based analysis of the waveform data of each message element, plus the constraint of an associated error-detection code (such as a CRC or parity construct of the correct message) to localize and, in many cases, correct a limited number of faults per message, without a retransmission. For example, the waveform data may include a deviation of the amplitude or phase of a particular message element, relative to an average of the amplitudes or phases of the other message elements that have the same demodulation value. The outliers are thereby exposed as the most likely faulted message elements. In addition, using the error-detection code, the AI model can determine the most likely corrected message, thereby avoiding retransmission delays and power usage and other costs.

摘要: Traffic collisions involving autonomous vehicles can be greatly reduced by timely initiation of evasive action. However, calculating a suitable sequence of actions capable of avoiding or minimizing the collision may require the speed of a supercomputer. Therefore, disclosed is a method for the autonomous vehicle to transmit an emergency message with sensor data to a nearby access point in 5G or 6G, and the access point can forward the data to a supercomputer trained in collision avoidance. The supercomputer, millions or billions of times faster than vehicle computers, explores many sequences of actions and selects the one most likely to avoid the collision or if unavoidable, the sequence of actions that results in the least harm. Again using an exclusive channel, the supercomputer and the access point can relay the selected sequence to the autonomous vehicle, for immediate collision avoidance or harm minimization.

摘要: A base station can maintain a transmission beam toward a user device, even in changing conditions, by realtime incremental feedback in 5G and 6G. The incremental feedback is a compact one-of-three request, from the user device, indicating a higher, keep-same, or lower adjustment of a transmission parameter such as the power or beam angle. The base station then adds or subtracts a predetermined increment to that transmission parameter, thereby improving reception with each downlink message. Such incremental adjustment continues with each message to the user device, until the optimum value is reached, at which time the user device selects the keep-same choice. For efficient optimization, the base station can vary the increment size, for example escalating to larger sizes upon repeated same-sign requests, and then de-escalating to smaller increments for fine-tuning and beam optimization. Many other aspects are disclosed.

摘要: Many wireless receivers in 5G and 6G are expected to use DRX (discontinuous reception) to save power. What is lacking is an efficient procedure to inform the DRX users that they have an incoming message on hold at the base station. Therefore, a procedure is disclosed for the base station to assign each user device to a section and a position within that section. Then the base station can periodically broadcast a polling message including only those sections that have at least one waiting with a message on hold. In addition, each user device is assigned a single bit at a calculated position in the polling message, so that each DRX user can determine when it has a message on hold. In addition, the base station can assign an equally compact and efficient reply region for each ready user to request its message, thereby saving time and resources.

摘要: A supercomputer, with traffic-modeling software and 5G/6G connectivity, can assist an autonomous vehicle in avoiding, or at least minimizing the expected harm of, an imminent collision. Upon detecting the imminent collision, the autonomous vehicle can transmit a message to an access point, requesting an uncontested direct communication link to the supercomputer, and then transfer sensor data and other traffic data to the supercomputer through the access point. The supercomputer can calculate a multitude of sequences of braking, steering, and accelerating actions of the autonomous vehicle, and can select the sequence that enables the autonomous vehicle to avoid the collision if possible. If all sequences cannot avoid the collision, the supercomputer can select the sequence that results in the least harm (fatalities, injuries, and property damage) in the unavoidable collision. The supercomputer relays the selected best sequence of actions through the access point to the autonomous vehicle, thereby mitigating the collision.

摘要: The user devices in managed networks, such as 5G and 6G networks, are required to adapt their uplink transmissions to the base station's resource grid, including the timing and frequency structure of the resource grid. Message-heavy legacy synchronization procedures can consume substantial resources. Therefore, a simpler, faster procedure is disclosed in which synchronization parameters are standardized where possible, timing signals are configured in minimal size where possible, and the user device collaborates with the base station to adjust the user device's clock setting, clock rate, timing advance (to match the base station's symbol boundaries), and Doppler correction (to match the base station's subcarrier frequency), without exchanging data messages other than very brief timing signals. Such ultra-lean synchronization procedures may enable low-complexity synchronization in future high-frequency communications.

摘要: A major goal of 5G and especially 6G is reliable, low-latency communication. Unfortunately, higher density networks result in increasing interference, and higher frequency bands inevitably have signal fading problems, leading to frequency message faults. To restore high-speed, high-reliability messaging, methods are disclosed for evaluating the signal quality of each message element of a received message so that any faulting can be localized to the message elements with the lowest signal quality. Numerous contributions to signal quality are disclosed, including modulation, amplitude and phase stability, polarization and inter-symbol irregularities, expected message format and meaning, and common or unexpected bit sequences. Many further aspects are included.
