Patent number: 7747272Abstract: An access point device and access point system support wireless and/or wired communications. The access point includes temperature control functionality that is adapted to control/moderate the temperature within an access point. The temperature control functionality may operate to control the transmit power, the throughput or other operating parameters associated with the access point. The temperature control functionality may also actuate a cooling mechanism, e.g., a fan, associated with the access point. Load balancing may also be employed to reduce heat generation associated with an access point. The temperature control functionality may reside at the access point, e.g., a “fat” access point, or may reside at the wireless controller, e.g., a “thin” access point. Error voltage signals may also be generated and transmitted to a TCVCXO to control or moderate temperature conditions and heat generation.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Ortronics, Inc.Inventor: Kourosh Parsa

Publication number: 20100004016Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques for power control. For instance, a method exchanges one or more transmissions with a remote device in accordance with a retransmission protocol. In addition, a power control message is exchanged with the remote device through at least one of the one or more transmissions. Thus, closed loop power control may be performed through retransmission protocol communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Inventors: Hujun Yin, Kourosh Parsa

Patent number: 7075971Abstract: A hybrid DSMA-CR/CDMA methodology provides efficient access to one of a group of packet channels in a spread spectrum wireless communication network. The base station broadcasts status information as to the availability and/or available data rates for each packet channel or group of channels. Each mobile station uses the status information to select an available channel and/or a channel with sufficient data rate. The mobile station then starts transmission of a series of access preambles, each of which contains a signature corresponding to the selected channel. The mobile station transmits the preambles at increasing power levels. When the base station detects a preamble transmission, the base station responds with a corresponding acknowledgement essentially permitting the mobile station to send its packet data along with any closed-loop power control information over the selected channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2003Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Golden Bridge Technology IncorporatedInventors: Kourosh Parsa, Emmanuel Kanterakis

Patent number: 6757319Abstract: To increase capacity in a spread spectrum packet communication system, a closed loop power control (CLPC) is provided for a common/shared downlink transport channel, such as a Forward Access Channel (FACH) and Downlink Shared Channel (DSCH), by using an existing uplink Common Packet Channel (CPCH) mechanism. After an appropriate access phase and a collision detection phase, a mobile station sends its closed-loop power control information along with any packet data over the CPCH uplink channel. Concurrently, the base station (BS) begins its downlink transmission of data and control information to the mobile station (MS). The base station transmits the packet data through the common/shared downlink transport channel, and the power of that transmission is controlled in response to the control information sent by the MS. The power of the uplink transmission from the MS is controlled in response to the control information sent by the BS, for example via a dedicated downlink channel (DCH).Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: June 29, 2004Assignee: Golden Bridge Technology Inc.Inventors: Kourosh Parsa, Emmanuel Kanterakis
