Patents by Inventor Noel James Oates

Noel James Oates has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Communication network having proximity service discovery and device self-organization
    Patent number: 9532302
    Abstract: Methods and systems for establishing and/or maintaining communication cluster environments that support a plurality of communication devices. The plurality of communication devices can be configured to communicate with one another utilizing the communication cluster environment. The communication within the communication cluster environment can include device-to-device communications between two or more of the plurality of communication devices. Further, the device-to-device communications can utilizes one or more non-3GPP wireless communication protocols and/or standards.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: Broadcom Corporation
    Inventors: Kaveh Ghaboosi, Manish Vemulapalli, Noel James Oates, Yuqiang Tang
  • Duplexing in long term evolution (LTE) cellular networks
    Patent number: 9397800
    Abstract: A duplexing method is provided that combines aspects of Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) methods in a network, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The duplexing method may be implemented on an existing FDD network by replacing the FDD uplink (UL)-only radio frame with a full TDD radio frame having dynamically allocable UL and downlink (DL) sub-frames. Alternatively, the duplexing method may be implemented on an existing TDD network by adding a second frequency to pair with an existing frequency over which a FDD DL-only radio frame can be run.
