Patent number: 9026813Abstract: Associating service agents in communication over a network to one or more respective clients coupled to the network at respective ports of the network is described. At a first service agent, a first signal is received from a first client coupled to the network at a first port. The first signal propagates over a first signal propagation path between the first service agent and the first port. An association between the first service agent and the first client is established based at least in part on a difference between: the first signal propagation path between the first service agent and the first port, and a second signal propagation path between the first service agent and a second port or between a second service agent and the first port.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: James Zyren, Srinivas Katar, Manjunath Krishnam, Lawrence W. Yonge, III

Patent number: 8680706Abstract: A system includes a first communication module to be coupled to a first transmission medium for distributing power using a voltage waveform having a first amplitude; and a second communication module to be coupled to a second transmission medium for distributing power using a voltage waveform having a second amplitude different from the first amplitude, the second transmission medium being coupled to the first transmission medium. Each of the first and second communication modules is configured to use signals that propagate between the first and second transmission media.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: James Zyren

Patent number: 8368351Abstract: An apparatus and method for coupling a charging station to a power line segment that is terminated at a first end by a charging terminal are disclosed. The apparatus includes multiple taps coupled to the power line segment and circuitry coupled to the charging station and coupled to the multiple taps. The circuitry is configured to differentiate between communication signals propagating on the power line segment in the direction from the first end to a second end of the power line segment and communication signals propagating on the power line segment in the direction from the second end to the first end based at least in part on multiple measurements of respective phase shifts associated with different portions of a communication signal, each portion received over at least a first tap and a second tap.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: James Zyren

Publication number: 20050071079Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for improving vehicle tracking and remote control. A wireless telecommunications system infrastructure receives a unique vehicle identifier via a shared-communications channel from a vehicle being tracked, as well as location information for that vehicle. The location information is derived from Global Positioning System signals or from the address of the local infrastructure currently in contact with the vehicle, or both. The same shared-communications channel is used to convey control messages to the vehicle, wherein the messages are mapped into control signals that can disable the vehicle's engine or control some other system that is part of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2004Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Timothy Godfrey, James Zyren
