Publication number: 20150156654Abstract: A method of operating a spectrum system includes issuing communicating transmitter commands to a spectrum operator system from the spectrum system. The spectrum operator system is in communication with a transmitter. The method also includes instructing, using a computing processor, the spectrum operator system to identify a set of wireless terminals associated with the transmitter, instruct the set of wireless terminals or a subset of the wireless terminals associated with the transmitter to return network measurements to the spectrum system, and instruct different subsets of wireless terminals associated with the transmitter over time to return network measurements to the spectrum system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Mitch Trott, Murari Srinivasan, Milo Steven Medin

Patent number: 9049722Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting and using multiple communications channels corresponding to different transmit technologies and/or access technologies in parallel within a cell of a wireless communications system are described. Mobile nodes support multiple technologies and can switch between the technology being used at a particular point in time, e.g., from a first channel corresponding to a first technology to a second channel corresponding to a different technology which provides better transmission characteristics, e.g., a better perceived channel quality. Mobiles maintain at least two sets of channel quality information at any one point in time. Mobiles select the better channel and communicate the channel selection to the base station or communicate channel quality information for multiple channels to the base station and allow the base station to select the channel corresponding to the technology providing the better conditions for the mobile.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2006Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rajiv Laroia, Murari Srinivasan, Junyi Li

Publication number: 20150109920Abstract: A method includes receiving a connection request from a mobile device at a network device to allow connection of the mobile device to a core network of the first service provider through a first base station and determining whether a backhaul connection between the core network of the first service provider and the first base station is congested by the network device. The backhaul connection is determined to be congested when L is greater than (D?B)/T. When the first backhaul connection is determined to be congested, the method also includes preventing the first base station from connecting the mobile device to the core network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Siddharth Ray, Murari Srinivasan, Milo Steven Medin

Patent number: 8995397Abstract: Embodiments describe mobility management utilizing neighbor discovery and at least two pseudo wires. When a wireless device desires to handoff to a detected access router, such handoff may not be configured until such time as a current access router receives routing information of the target access router. In order to minimize handoff time, communication between the target access router and the wireless device can be through the current access router utilizing least two pseudo wires. Bidirectional neighbor discovery and create is conducted by the access routers allow subsequent wireless devices to automatically handoff between the access routers.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Richard John Dynarski, Hesham Soliman, Murari Srinivasan, David R.

Patent number: 8995466Abstract: A base station uses a common link layer controller for multiple physical attachment points to facilitate concurrent wireless connections between different sector physical attachment points and a wireless terminal using the same link layer link. A wireless terminal maintains multiple simultaneous wireless connections for the same link layer link. A packet of user data is fragmented into a plurality of grouping of MAC frames, thus a packet portion can be communicated over a connection. A single packet is sometimes communicated with different portions conveyed over different wireless connections. Automatic repeat request, using the common link layer controller, allows for retransmission of a packet portion over a different connection than it was initially transmitted over. A wireless terminal sends connection request messages including lists of link layer identifiers associated with the wireless terminal. A base station responds with an indication of whether logical link state was already present.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Pablo Anigstein, Murari Srinivasan, Sathyadev Venkata Uppala, Rakesh Champalal Dugad, Arnab Das, Vladimir Parizhsky, Rajiv Laroia

Patent number: 8982841Abstract: A services node (SN) is provided that functions as a local, premise-based gateway that anchors and aggregates a group of radio nodes (RNs). Accordingly, the SN absorbs the functionalities of conventional mobility management entities (MMEs), as well as serving and packet data network gateways, where the SN appears as a single virtual eNB to a macrocellular core network. As a result, complexity associated with aggregating and controlling a large number of RNs (performed by the SN) is hidden from the core network. Additionally, micro-mobility between individual RNs controlled by an SN is completely handled at a local enterprise gateway level, thus significantly reducing mobility-related signaling from impacting an MME pool in the code network. Moreover local data offloading is made possible via the SN.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: SpiderCloud Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Murari Srinivasan

Patent number: 8983468Abstract: Methods and apparatus for routing messages between an end node and an access node via another access node are described. Physical layer identification information is used when identifying a remote, e.g., adjacent, access node as a message destination. Thus, when a connection identifier based on one or more physical layer identifiers is available to a wireless terminal, e.g., from one or more downlink signals received from a destination access node, the wireless terminal can use the connection identifier corresponding to the destination node to route a message via an access node with which it has an established uplink connection. Such connection identifier information can be used even when other addressing information, e.g., network layer address information, associated with the destination access node, may not be available to the wireless terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Rajiv Laroia, Pablo Anigstein, Vladimir Parizhsky, Murari Srinivasan, George Tsirtsis

Patent number: 8965331Abstract: A network device connected to a base station via a backhaul connection may be operable to determine whether the backhaul connection is congested. The determination may be based on a periodic data cap imposed on the backhaul connections. In response to a determination that the backhaul connection is congested, the network device may configure one or more cellular communication parameters of one or more of the plurality of base stations. The determination may be based on one or more of: a total amount of data consumed over the backhaul connection during a current time period, a traffic load on the backhaul connection, and an amount of time remaining in the current time period.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Siddharth Ray, Murari Srinivasan, Milo Steven Medin
