    Abstract: A method, apparatus, receiver and system provide for configurability of the modulation order of a communications system, such as an autoencoder-based communication system. With respect to a system including a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter encodes a message into a vector of channel symbols for transmission via a channel. The message is encoded pursuant to a modulation order m that is adjustable up to a maximum modulation order Mmax. The receiver receives a vector of samples generated by the channel and determines a first prediction vector for the message encoded by the transmitter. The receiver includes a slicing layer to eliminate one or more elements of the first prediction vector if the modulation order m is less than the maximum modulation order Mmax so as to generate a second prediction vector tailored to the modulation order from which a prediction of the message encoded by the transmitter is identified.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, receiver and system provide timing synchronization during data transmission over a channel. In the context of a method, the method receives, for individual ones of a plurality of sequences of samples generated by a channel in response to transmission of corresponding frames that are comprised of a plurality of symbols including a preamble and one or more data symbols: (i) a probability vector and (ii) an indication of the sample of the respective sequence that corresponds to the particular symbol of the corresponding frame. The method determines one or more updated parameters of a frame detector of a receiver that receives the sequence of samples from the channel. The method determines one or more updated parameters of a preamble generator of a transmitter that provides the preamble for transmission over the channel.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a trainable logic includes determination logic configured to determine a plurality of available receiver configurations and associate each receiver configuration with a context matrix; codebook logic configured to select a quantisation codebook to be used by the trainable logic for the context matrices; and learning logic configured to learn from a training dataset including a plurality of received signal samples relevant to reconstruction of a transmitted message. The learning logic is configured to generate, from the training dataset, a set of superposed parameters and context matrices corresponding to the plurality of available receiver configurations and a set of contextual parameters for each context; quantize the context matrices according to the quantisation codebook; and repeat the generation of superposed parameters, context matrices and quantization of context matrices until a stop criterion is met.
