US 11,601,140 B2 · Communication throughput despite periodic blockages

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for improving communication throughput despite periodic blockages. In some implementations, a method includes receiving, by a receiver and from a transmitter, code blocks transmitted according to a first set of communication parameters that includes one or more first interleaver parameters used to interleave information in the code blocks prior to transmission. Corrupted portions of at least some of the received code blocks are identified. A blockage duration and a blockage interval of a blockage of communication channel between the transmitter and the receiver are determined based on the corrupted portions of the received code blocks. A second set of communication parameters that includes one or more second interleaver parameters are determined based on the blockage duration and blockage interval. The second set of communication parameters are communicated to the transmitter for subsequent transmissions by the transmitter to the receiver.

A method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first wireless communication device to a second wireless communication device, a first set of code blocks using a first set of communication parameters that includes one or more first interleaver parameters used to interleave information in the first set of code blocks prior to transmission;
receiving, by the first wireless communication device from the second wireless communication device, a second set of code blocks transmitted using a second set of communication parameters that includes one or more second interleaver parameters used to interleave information in the second set of code blocks prior to transmission, wherein the one or more second interleaver parameters are different from the one or more first interleaver parameters;
and
transmitting, by the first wireless communication device to the second wireless communication device, timing information indicating a time at which the first wireless communication device will begin transmitting information to the second wireless communication device using the second set of communication parameters including the one or more second interleaver parameters.
