Patent number: 10939310Abstract: Methods and apparatus in a wireless network that allow devices, such as client devices and access points (APs), having software defined radios (SDRs) to change operating behavior depending on network RF environment conditions are disclosed. The devices may be instructed to operate according to differently defined behavior profiles that may be chosen based on RF environment conditions. The profiles may be stored in a database. A particular profile may be obtained from the database for one or more devices based on an interference level within an RF environment of the devices. The profiles may be implemented to change device operating behavior so that interference is reduced or minimized in higher levels of interference. The profiles may also be implemented to change device behavior so that interference is reduced in lower levels of interference while also freeing up resources for more efficient use in the network during lower levels of interference.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Hassan, Paul Mitchell, Aaron Cunningham, Mitesh Desai

Patent number: 10642645Abstract: Technology for managing operational modes of a network adapter is disclosed. The technology includes features for selectively preempting (e.g., canceling, suspending, deferring, pausing, changing to a “no-op” state, changing to a passive state, or otherwise deprioritizing) execution for a current operational mode of the network adapter, executing a requested network control operation, and optionally restoring the preempted operational mode. The operational mode may be selectively preempted based on priority information associated with the current operational mode and the requested network control operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Henrique Filgueiras, Mitesh Desai, Mahmoud Elhaddad, Mingtzong Lee, Yesayi Hovnanyan, Mukund Sankaranarayan, Nar Ganapathy

Patent number: 10530713Abstract: Technology for managing queuing resources of a shared network adapter is disclosed. The technology includes selectively transferring data from data transmission sources to a queue of the shared network adapter based on status indications from the shared network adapter regarding availability of queuing resources at the shared network adapter. In addition, the technology also includes features for selectively controlling transfer rates of data to the shared network adapter from applications, virtual network stations, other virtual adapters, or other data transmission sources. As one example, this selective control is based on how efficiently data from these data transmission sources are transmitted from the shared network adapter.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahmoud Elhaddad, Mukund Sankaranarayan, Mitesh Desai, Henrique Filgueiras, Mingtzong Lee, Nar Ganapathy

Patent number: 10390273Abstract: The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with a network connection when transitioning the network connection between access points. Determinations to scan for available access points and transfer the network connection to an alternative access point are based on connection attributes and/or access point attributes that are compared to scan criteria and transfer criteria. Further, the scan criteria and transfer criteria are updated, or adjusted, according to machine learning techniques such that the determinations to scan for access points and transfer between access points are tuned on a per-device and/or per-user level to fit patterns of use of a particular device and/or user. Over time, the updates to the scan criteria and transfer criteria based on machine learning provide an increasingly consistent, high quality user experience while roaming efficiently between access points.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mukund Sankaranarayan, Mitesh Desai, Christian F.

Publication number: 20180343672Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods according to the embodiments allow a wireless network be efficiently managed through activation and/or deactivation of network access points and/or multi-function devices having capability to serve as access points in the wireless network. An apparatus/server may be configured to manage the access points and multi-function devices based on a network database that is updated as multi-function devices are activated and/or deactivated as access point service providers, and as service conditions change within the network. The multi-function devices may comprise devices that are normally used in the network to provide at least one device function other than access point services. For example, the multi-function devices may include devices, such as printers, display monitors, docking devices, laptops, mobile tablets, or mobile phones, which are intended to provide conventional device functions (i.e., printing, displaying, docking, communicating).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Hassan, Bill Verthein, Mitesh Desai, Mark Clear, Peter Fortman

Publication number: 20170215102Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed that provide a network that may determine the presence of it caused by an interfering system transmitting within the same frequency bands, or frequency bands closely adjacent to frequency bands, that the network is using, and initiate action to improve network performance in the presence of the interference. The presence of the interference may be determined by detecting that interference at a threshold level exists in the network, and determining that the detected interference is “aggressive” interference, i.e., caused by intentional transmissions from the interfering system in frequency bands in which the network is operating.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2016Publication date: July 27, 2017Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amer Hassan, Paul Mitchell, Aaron Cunningham, Mitesh Desai

For example, the device may be configured to communicate in multiple different wireless communication modes. As another example, the device may be controlled to engage in wireless communications that do not comply with the communication standard, e.g., IEEE standard 802.11. As a further example, the device may be controlled to reduce the strength of the wireless signal that is transmitted. The station's response to the wireless communication may be evaluated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2006Publication date: August 30, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mitesh Desai, David Harding
