Patent number: 9036536Abstract: A two-way wireless repeater and booster system and method are disclosed. The system and method improve signal quality and strength for the middle hop of a three-hop repeater, between User and Network Units operating in the unlicensed bands (ISM and/or UNII), and supporting the cellular (or wireless) network communications channels. The system and method enables the support of a wider repeat spectrum or bandwidth for a given communications bandwidth in the unlicensed band.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventor: Behzad B.

Patent number: 8682311Abstract: A two-way wireless repeater and booster system and method with watermarking of uplink signals are disclosed. The repeater includes a network unit having at least one wireless receiver and at least one wireless transmitter, the network unit being configured to communicate with the network transceiver. The transceiver further includes a user unit having at least one wireless receiver and at least one wireless transmitter, the user unit being configured to communicate with the user transceiver, and a two-way communication path between the network unit and the user unit to communicate signals between the network transceiver and the user transceiver in autonomous hops comprising between the network transceiver and the network unit, between the user transceiver and the user unit, and between the network unit and the user unit. The network unit and/or user unit is further configured to repeatedly transmit a training sequence to the other unit to train the at least one channel equalizer of the other unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventor: Behzad B.

Patent number: 8649447Abstract: An OFDM modem is presented that uses a pilot sub-carrier signal structure for channel estimation to reduce link latency of the modem, or alternatively, a pseudo-random number sequence inserted into the OFDM signal for later detection for channel estimation. The OFDM signal includes multiple symbols, each symbol having a plurality of closely-spaced, orthogonal data sub-carrier signals carrying data. In some implementations, one or more pilot sub-carrier signals are inserted with the data sub-carrier signals. Each pilot sub-carrier signal is modulated with a predetermined pilot modulation scheme. Each pilot sub-carrier signal is placed at a different sub-carrier signal location for each successive symbol duration of the OFDM signal to form a sliding pilot sub-carrier signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventor: Behzad B.

Patent number: 8478191Abstract: Systems, methods and techniques for operating a wireless repeater with multiple antennas are presented. Signals from a wireless communication device are received by a wireless repeater on at least two branch channels associated with at least two repeater receiver antennas. Path or space diversity is resolved from the signals, and the signals are processed on the at least two branch channels to produce at least one strong signal to be repeated to another wireless communication device.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2008Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventor: Behzad B.

Patent number: 8447230Abstract: A cellular repeater and method of operating a cellular repeater are disclosed. The cellular repeater includes a variable-gain donor antenna adapted to communicate with a base station and a variable-gain server antenna adapted to communicate with a mobile device. A signal from a selected base station selected from one or more available base stations that are available to the cellular repeater is measured at the donor antenna. The gain of the donor antenna is adapted to maximize a signal level of the signal received at the donor antenna from the selected base station. A calibration signal from the server antenna is measured at the donor antenna to determine a radio frequency isolation between the donor antenna and the server antenna. The gain of the server antenna is adapted to maximize the radio frequency isolation between the donor antenna and server antenna.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2007Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventor: Behzad B.

Patent number: 8351366Abstract: Techniques and systems for mediating traffic between a network transceiver and a user transceiver in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A network link with the network transceiver is maintained using a network unit, and a user link with the user transceiver is maintained using a user unit. One or more replicas of a signal received from the network transceiver on a downlink path or from the user transceiver on an uplink path, respectively, are generated. The one or more replicas of the signal wirelessly are then transmitted on a hop between the network unit and the user unit along with a bi-directional control channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Nextivity, Inc.Inventors: Behzad B.
