Abstract: A wireless device may receive packets according to a protocol, such as Bluetooth, and may rapidly react to receive an interfering RF packet instead of dropping the first RF packet and the interfering RF packet, to decrease message delay due to collisions in high device density environments. When a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) difference between the interfering RF packet and the first RF packet exceeds a threshold, the device may detect the interfering packet and resync a portion of its circuitry to lock on to and receive the interfering packet. The wireless receiver may detect the interfering RF packet by detecting one or more of: a specific resync byte sequence, an increase in RSSI, or a phase shift. Additionally, a wireless device may add the specific resync byte sequence to an RF packet of a standard protocol.

Abstract: Reliability, in 5G and emerging 6G, is a continuing challenge due to signal fading, heavy interference, and phase noise, among others. The disclosed procedures show how to locate the most likely faulted message elements according to a deviant modulation, excessive amplitude or phase instability, and inconsistency between successive transmissions of the message. In addition, the receiver can rectify the message either by altering the faulted message elements to other modulation states, or by selectively merging two versions of the message according to signal quality. In either case, reliability is improved, range is extended, and time is saved.

Abstract: Communication systems and methods are disclosed that utilize Probability Amplitude Shaping (PAS) and Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) to transmit short block-length messages. While capacity-approaching codes, such as Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, Turbo codes, and Polar codes, can achieve data rates approaching the Shannon limit at large block-lengths, the performance of these codes can deteriorate dramatically at short block-lengths. Communication systems configured in accordance with various embodiments of the invention can utilize classical codes to encode short block-length messages to achieve communication rates exceeding Polyanskiy's Random Coding Union bound. In several embodiments, message bits are transmitted using a TCM system in which message bits that have been previously encoded by an error detection code are encoded using a convolutional code (CC). In a number of embodiments, the error detection code and the CC are obtained via a joint optimization with respect to a Frame Error Rate bound.

Abstract: Message faulting is an increasing problem in 5G and future 6G due to network crowding, receiver motion, signal fading at higher frequencies, and greater phase-noise sensitivity. Disclosed herein are methods for analyzing waveform features of the received signal using artificial intelligence, and identifying the likely faulted message elements according to correlations of those waveform features. For example, after demodulating, the receiver can identify a subset of message elements that are all demodulated according to the same modulation level, and can measure a signal parameter for each message element in the subset. The processor can then average the deviations in the subset, and compare those message elements to the average for the subset. If one of the message elements shows an anomalously large deviation from the average, that message element is likely faulted.

Abstract: AI-based fault detection, localization, and correction can improve message reliability in 5G and 6G communications by enabling the rapid recovery of faulted messages without wasting precious time and power on an unnecessary retransmission. The waveform of a received message is rich with information implicating the faulted message elements and, in many cases, suggesting the corrected value. In examples, message recovery can be based on the amplitude of the received waveform, its phase, any pathological variations in noise or in frequency or in polarization, and on inter-symbol transition regions, to list just a few waveform fault indicators revealing the fault locations. In addition, the AI model, or an algorithm derived from it, can discern the intent or meaning of a message, as well as its form and format, the bitwise content, the sequence of characters, and other error flags indicating which parts of the message are faulted.

Abstract: As transmitters proliferate, and the transmission frequency steadily increases in 5G and especially 6G, the rate of message faults will likely increase unacceptably. Disclosed are methods for wireless receivers to detect, localize, and correct message faults using a combination of signal quality, modulation quality, and an embedded error-detection code. The error-detection code can indicate when the message is corrupted, while the signal quality and modulation quality can indicate which message elements are faulted, or can provide a likelihood that each message element is faulted. The message can then be corrected, using a combination of the error-correction code, the signal quality, and the modulation quality. In embodiments, the correction can be calculated directly from the error-detection code, or determined by altering each likely faulted message element to each of the other modulation states and testing with the error-detection code. By either method, network resources are saved and reliability is increased.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Message faults are inevitable in the high-throughput environment of 5G and planned 6G. Retransmissions are costly in time and resources, while generating extra backgrounds and interference. Therefore, methods are disclosed for recovering a faulted message by identifying and correcting each mis-demodulated message element. The faulted message elements generally have substantially lower modulation quality than the correctly demodulated elements, and can be identified by determining the modulation quality of each received message element. If the number of faulted message elements is small, the receiver may correct them using a grid search tested by an associated error-detection code. If the number of faults exceeds a predetermined threshold, the receiver can request a retransmission, and then assemble a merged copy of the message by selecting the message element with the best modulation quality from each version. Substantial time and resources may be saved, and reliable communication may be restored despite poor reception.

Abstract: A central challenge in next-generation 5G/6G networks is achieving high message reliability despite very dense usage and unavoidable signal fading at high frequencies. To provide enhanced fault detection, localization, and mitigation, the disclosed procedures can enable an AI model (or an algorithm derived from it) to discriminate between faulted and unfaulted message elements according to signal quality, modulation parameters, and other inputs. The AI model can estimate the likelihood that each message element is faulted, and predict the most probable corrected value, among other outputs. The AI model can also consider the quality of a demodulation reference used to demodulate the message, and the quality of the associated error-detection code. The AI model can also consider previously received messages to the same receiver, or messages of a similar type. Fault mitigation by the receiver can save substantial time and resources by avoiding a retransmission. Many other aspects are disclosed.
