Publication number: 20140204766Abstract: A method for handling a jamming signal in a wireless network includes obtaining network measurement data on a wireless network performance, the network measurement data collected by a wireless network element. A first performance information on the wireless network performance is derived based on the network measurement data obtained. The first performance information is examined with respect to a predefined value. An alert is issued to indicate a presence of a potential jamming signal based on a result of the examination of the first performance information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: Eden Rock communications.

Patent number: 8737926Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for coordinating the scheduling of beamformed data to reduce interference in a wireless system. A customer premise equipment (CPE) uses a plurality of bits to quantize the phase angle of the beamformed data received by CPE and reports it to its serving base station. The serving base station selects one of the phase adjustment angles based on the bits received from the CPE in order to schedule the data transmission to the CPE. The phase adjustment angles are in ānā degree steps.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Eden Rock Communications, LLCInventors: Eamonn Gormley, Chaz Immendorf

Patent number: 8537731Abstract: A system and method are described for reducing congestion in a wireless network. A wireless base station becomes congested when substantially all of the available base station airlink resources are being used during a period of time. It is useful, however, to distinguish between periods of congestion with few users and periods where a larger number of users are using the base station. When there are few users a congestion situation is not necessarily a problem, while it is more likely that users' quality of experience and quality of service suffers as the number of users increases. This system and method determines when a base station is congested and implements a congestion prime management scenario when the number of active users is above an activity threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Eden Rock Communications, LLCInventors: Chaz Immendorf, Eamonn Gormley

Patent number: 8538435Abstract: A networked computing system including multiple network base stations, user equipment, a network resource controller (NRC), and a data communications network facilitating communications amongst all devices of the networked computing system. The NRC determines a current radio channel available capacity based on a user load associated with regional user equipment, and then forecasts a maximum radio channel capacity based on the current radio channel available capacity. The NRC may be a network base station and it may determine a number of additional user equipment it can support as a component of the forecast maximum radio channel capacity. The NRC/base station may be further configured to determine a handover threshold utilizing the forecast maximum radio channel capacity, and when the NRC base station's number of users exceeds the handover threshold, one or more user equipment may be handed over to a second network base station with better service capacity.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Eden Rock Communications, LLCInventors: Chaz Immendorf, Jeffrey Harrang

Patent number: 8412246Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for coordinating the scheduling of beamformed data to reduce interference in a wireless system. A first optimum phase adjustment is determined to increase the gain of an intended signal at a mobile device. A second optimum phase adjustment is determined to decrease the gain of interfering signals received at the mobile device. Using a phase adjustment map, a transmission is scheduled at a base station within wireless resources using the first optimum phase adjustment, at the same time an interfering base station is transmitting at the second optimum phase adjustment angle. Thus, signal strength is greatly improved while interference is greatly reduced, improving the efficiency of the wireless system.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Eden Rock Communications, LLCInventors: Eamonn Gormley, Chaz Immendorf

Patent number: 7236804Abstract: A method of supporting voice-band modem-to-modem calls in a wireless communication system is disclosed. In some embodiments, once a modem call is detected, the modem call is terminated. Data in the terminated modem call is then demodulated and relayed from one end of a wireless broadband channel to the other end of the wireless broadband channel. Transfer of the data to the second modem is completed when the other end of the wireless broadband channel places a modem call to the second modem. By sending data in high-rate modem calls via a wireless broadband channel rather than over multiple, dedicated wireless voice channels, resources of the wireless communication system are utilized more efficiently that can result in significant gains in system capacity.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: SR Telecom, Inc.Inventors: Chaz Immendorf, Eamonn Gormley, Arun Naidu
