Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and apparatus for operating an artificial neural network (ANN) device. The method includes transmitting, from at least one artificial input neuron of the ANN, a plurality of phase-shifted RF signals, corresponding to a plurality of input signals, using a plurality of transmit antennas and a plurality of transmission beams, receiving, at least one artificial output neuron of the ANN, the plurality of phase-shifted RF signals from the at least one artificial input neuron using a plurality of receive antennas, and generating, at the at least one artificial output neuron of the ANN, a plurality of digital output signals corresponding to the plurality of input signals.
Abstract:
Backhaul traffic reliability is improved in unlicensed spectrum bands by using cross-protocol channel sensing and reservation. Physical carrier sensing may be employed to scan channel quality of a plurality of carriers of an unlicensed spectrum band and select a carrier for use in a wireless backhaul communications link between a first base station and a second base station based on the scanned channel quality. The described features may further include the first base station transmitting a self-addressed reservation frame on the selected first carrier prior to transmission of backhaul data from the first base station to the second base station over the first carrier.
