  • Publication number: 20190104475
    Abstract: Examples provided herein describe a method for managing power consumption of a network. For example, a network device may monitor a set of network area zones of a network coverage area, where each network area zone is associated with a set of edge devices. A first occupancy state may be determined for a first network area zone of the set of network area zones based on usage of a first set of edge devices of the first network area zone. Based on the determined first occupancy state, a first power consumption policy for the first network area zone may be determined. Responsive to determining the first power consumption policy, the determined first power consumption policy may be applied to the first set of edge devices in the first network area zone at least edge changing a power consumption mode of a first edge device in the first set of edge devices.

  • Publication number: 20150004923
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are provided for effecting peak power reduction of a communication signal. In particular, the method achieves peak power reduction by generating an out of band peak power reduction (OBPPR) signal; which reduces the peaks of the waveform. The OBPPR signal can be generated at baseband, IF or RF. The method can be implemented in the digital domain using FPGA, DSP or ASIC or can be implemented in the analog domain using discrete circuitry, RFIC's or MMIC's or multi-chip modules. The method does not introduce significant amounts of EVM or sacrifice any capacity and as such offers considerable advantages compared to current state of the art methods. Furthermore, the method can be combined and is approximately additive with existing power reduction methods to effect greater levels of peak power reduction. The inventor has demonstrated a system which takes an OFDM waveform with a PAPR of 7.16 dB as an input, and produces an output waveform with a PAPR of 4.

  • Patent number: 8902808
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses are provided for mitigating interference in wireless networks, and particularly in an advanced backhaul wireless network comprising several hubs, each hub serving its own remote backhaul modules (RBMs). Preferred embodiments provide practical power spectrum adaptation methods for the management of interhub interference. These methods are shown to improve the overall network throughput significantly compared to a conventional network with fixed transmit power spectrum. Optionally, joint scheduling and power control are used to optimize the network utility. Also provided are methods which evoke the channel average gains generated by measurements for managed adaptive resource allocation (MARA). The proposed methods are computationally feasible and fast in convergence. They can be implemented in a distributed fashion across all hubs. Some of the proposed methods can be implemented asynchronously at each hub.

  • Patent number: 8834404
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and methods are provided for extra-corporeal blood treatment, and in particular for establishing and maintaining a neck down differential body temperature, while maintaining near normal brain temperatures, to protect the brain from extended or extreme hypothermia or hyperthermia. A blood treatment apparatus and system is provided for differential control of brain temperature and body temperature below the neck. For example, a first bypass circuit with heat exchanger for brain blood circulation maintains a near normal blood temperature, while a second bypass circuit for below the neck blood circulation provides for thermal treatment to induce a temperature differential, e.g. hyperthermia or hypothermia, relative to brain circulation. Such systems and apparatus have application, for example, for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments using hyperthermia, particularly for treatments of extended duration or at elevated temperatures above 42° C.

  • Patent number: 8824311
    Abstract: A system, method, and software are provided for measuring co-channel interference comprising interlink interference in a wireless backhaul network with particular application for management of resource allocation for Non Line of Sight (NLOS) wireless backhaul in MicroCell and PicoCell networks. Given the difficulty of predicting the interlink interference between multiple links, DownLink and UpLink co-channel interference are characterized for each backhaul radio link between each Hub and each Remote Backhaul Module Unit periodically during active service. Beneficially, the co-channel interference metrics are used as the basis for intelligently and adaptively managing network resources to substantially reduce cumulative interference and increase the aggregate data capacity of the network e.g. by grouping of interfering and/or non-interfering links, and managing resource block allocations accordingly, i.e.
