Abstract: A method for determining a maximum transmission power (Pmax, PR, PO) of a non-geostationary satellite (NGSO1, NGSO2) in the direction of a ground station (GSO_SOL), includes the steps of: determining the minimum value of a topocentric angle (?NGSO1, ?NGSO2), formed between the non-geostationary satellite, the ground station and a point of the geostationary arc (ARC_GSO); comparing, in terms of absolute value, the minimum value of the topocentric angle with at least two threshold values (?r, ?o), such that: if it is less than the first threshold (?r), defining the maximum transmission power at a first value (PR), if it is between the first threshold and the second threshold (?o), defining the maximum transmission power at a second value (PO), greater than the first value, or if it is greater than the second threshold, defining the maximum power at a third value (Pmax), greater than the second value; the maximum transmission power values and the thresholds being determined so as to minimize the deviation betwee

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and software are described herein that provide enhanced satellite communication nodes. In one example, a parent communication node is configured to establish a satellite edge network over at least a satellite communication pathway with a child communication node remotely located from a geographic location of the parent node.

Abstract: Satellites provide communication between devices such as user terminals (UTs) and ground stations that are in turn connected to other networks, such as the Internet. Latency for signals to and from the satellite can introduce delays due at least in part to propagation time. The latency adversely interacts with data transfers that result in responses from the UT. Downstream data to the UT is processed to determine if a response is expected. Header data is associated with the downstream data that is sent to the satellite. A resource scheduler onboard the satellite uses the header data to provide a prospective grant to the UT to send the expected response. The UT receives the downstream data, response data such as an acknowledgement is generated, and the response data is sent to the satellite using the prospective grant. The system substantially reduces the latency associated with responsive traffic and improves overall throughput.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for determining conditions for non-terminated service provider network connections. The method includes receiving, at a service provider headend, upstream signals from premises. An uncorrectable metric and a correctable metric are determined from a portion of the upstream signals upon application of signal correction to the upstream signals, where the portion is related to an operating frequency range of a networking device and an operating frequency range of Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) devices. An alert is generated when the determined uncorrectable metric meets an uncorrectable threshold and the determined correctable metric is less than a correctable threshold for a persistent period of time, where the non-termination alert indicates a non-terminated pathway to a service provider central office from the premises when service is provided to the premises from a different service provider central office.

Abstract: A gateway provides duplex-directional, multimedia ad hoc mesh networking, peer-to-peer direct communications, power optimization, dynamic configuration, and data management, while operating within various devices and network topologies. A multitasking virtual machine monitor for mobile networked devices, that is capable of functional expandability and portability to various operating environments, interoperability with a variety of operating systems, the Gateway Control System (GCS) performs functional capabilities in both a local and a networked topology using local and remote hardware and software.

Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining data for Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) events caused by interfering signals, such as radar signals, in mobile WiFi wireless communication networks on airplanes. The systems and methods utilize wireless access points (WAPs) on in-flight entertainment systems on airplanes to detect DFS events, and obtain DFS event data. The DFS event data is transmitted to a ground system which is configured to utilize the DFS event data to generate DFS messages which allow a WAP on another airplane to avoid the interfering signals that caused the DFS event. The ground system transmits the DFS messages to other airplanes which use the information in the DFS message to configure a WAP to avoid DFS events. The ground system may also be configured to analyze and generate a 3D DFS map which can be used to generate radio channel plans to avoid DFS events.

Abstract: A transaction controller orders transactions between a master device and a slave device, where the transactions may be received out-of-order. First and second transactions have respective first and second sets of data packets. The transaction controller includes a transaction table, a first ordering counter, and a first sequence counter having first and second values when the first and second transactions are initiated. The first and second values are stored in the transaction table based on first and second transaction identifiers (TIDs) that are associated with the first and second transactions. The transaction controller determines, based on the second value, the second TID, and a current value of the first ordering counter, whether the first and second sets of data packets were received out-of-order. Based on the determination, the second set of data packets is transmitted to the master device after the first set of data packets.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose systems, methods, and computer-readable media for automatically adjusting settings of antenna elements to reduce radio link failures. In embodiments, a base station monitors radio link failures occurring at the base station that are associated with a first technology, such as 5G protocol.

For example, the base station may only adjust those antenna elements in the antenna array that are associated with the first technology, while other antenna elements in the same antenna array that are associated with a second technology, such as 4G protocol, are not adjusted.

The RF site controller may control the control channel to switch between operating in (i) a keyed state (in other words a full-power state) for a first dynamic period of time and (ii) a de-keyed state (in other words, a lower-powered state) for a second dynamic period of time. At least one of the first dynamic period of time and the second dynamic period of time may be based on a characteristic of at least one of a group consisting of a coverage area being serviced by the RF site controller and one or more communication devices being serviced by the RF site controller.
