Publication number: 20230120992Abstract: A method may include determining, by an access point, which stations among multiple stations are permitted access to a wireless communication medium in a subsequent uplink frame. The method may also include broadcasting an uplink map to the stations, where the uplink map identifies a first station of the multiple stations as permitted access to the wireless communication medium. The uplink map may also identify an allocation of the subsequent uplink frame for the first station. The method may also include, during the allocation of the subsequent uplink frame allocated to the first station, receiving: an acknowledgment (ACK) of downlink data transmitted to the first station, uplink data, a resource allocation request from the first station requesting access to a second subsequent uplink frame, and/or combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Ali ROUHI, Sigurd SCHELSTRAETE, Hossein DEHGHAN-FARD, Qasem Saif ALDRUBI, Wanjui HO, Laurent Alexandre PIERRUGUES, Iyad A.

Patent number: 11128544Abstract: An example method may include receiving, from a wireless sniffer, sniffer data for a window of time, where the sniffer data may include wireless signal data. The method may also include obtaining corresponding access point data from an access point in a wireless network for at least part of the window of time for which the sniffer data is received. The method may additionally include analyzing the sniffer data and the corresponding access point data to assess performance of the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Ali Rouhi, Vladimir Dmitriev, Richard Kinder, Sergey Naumov, Raghuram Rangarajan, Jean-Paul Camille, Imran Latif

Patent number: 11070994Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) configured to supporting wireless communications with station nodes on a selected communication channel of an associated wireless local area network (WLAN). The WAP includes multiple multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit and receive paths. The WAP is to intermittently switch one of the multiple MIMO receive paths to concurrently process both communications on a selected communication channel together with monitoring communications on unselected channels of the multiple communication channels associated with the WLAN.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: ON SEMICONDUCTOR CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Stephane Cattet, Babak Soltanian, Sigurd Schelstraete, Vahbod Pourahmad, Sam Heidari, Ali Rouhi, James Herbert, Richard Kinder

Patent number: 10321341Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) configured to support a wireless home network among multiple wireless devices over a shared wireless communication medium on a selected channel. In an embodiment of the invention the WAP includes a channel tracker configured to track performance metrics over time for at least the selected channel; and to predict based on the tracked performance metrics at least one of: a predicted time of an impending channel changeover requirement in which a projected demand for the selected channel exceeds a projected capacity thereof and a predicted time of an impending monitoring interval for monitoring an unselected channel with relatively minimal disruption of communications on the selected channel. In another embodiment of the invention the WAP includes receive path components configured to concurrently process both communications on the selected channel together with monitored communications on an unselected channel.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: QUANTENNA COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Stephane Cattet, Babak Soltanian, Sigurd Schelstraete, Vahbod Pourahmad, Sam Heidari, Ali Rouhi, James Herbert, Richard Kinder

Patent number: 9082400Abstract: Techniques for generating a video sequence of a person based on a text sequence, are disclosed herein. Based on the received text sequence, a processing device generates the video sequence of a person to simulate visual and audible emotional expressions of the person, including using an audio model of the person's voice to generate an audio portion of the video sequence. The emotional expressions in the visual portion of the video sequence are simulated based a priori knowledge about the person. For instance, the a priori knowledge can include photos or videos of the person captured in real life.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: SEYYER, INC.Inventors: Behrooz Rezvani, Ali Rouhi

Patent number: 8599780Abstract: A technique for expanding the range of coverage for a wireless local area network (WLAN) involves locating a wireless access point (WAP) away from an interworking unit (IWU) at the edges of the WLAN and a (typically) wired network. The WAP, when located away from the IWU, can be referred to as an untethered access point (UAP) because it communicates with the IWU on a wireless channel. Stations on the WLAN will be capable of communicating with the WAP, whether or not it is a UAP, via a known or convenient wireless protocol, such as Wi-Fi, and may or may not be capable of communicating with one another via a direct station-to-station protocol.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Quantenna Communications, Inc.Inventors: Sam Heidari, Ali Rouhi, Rajkumar Samuel

Patent number: 8432826Abstract: A method and apparatus to select the best channel of a wireless network for data communication at any given time, during normal operation of the network, is described. The network may be an IEEE standard 802.11 compliant network. Channel scanning may be performed in any station on the wireless network, such as an access point (AP) or a mobile station, or both. Channel scanning may be performed during data communication idle time, or simultaneously with data communication on the network. The technique can be implemented in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system, where the antenna or antennas used for channel scanning can be selected dynamically during operation, to optimize one or more performance characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Quantenna Communications, Inc.Inventors: Sam Heidari, Kapil Gulati, Ali Rouhi, Ravi Narasimhan, Rajkumar Samuel
