Publication number: 20240121655Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. For example, the described techniques provide for a first device (e.g., a cellular modem or user equipment (UE)) mapping quality of service flows of a first radio access technology (e.g., cellular) to service classes of a second RAT (e.g., Wi-Fi). The first device may communicate mapping information that indicates the mapping to a second network device (e.g., a router). The first device and the second device may communicate various packets via the quality of service flows and the service classes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Xiaolong Huang, Patrick Poon-Cheuk Chan, Sebastian Speicher, Huichun Liu, Suli Zhao, Sai Yiu Duncan Ho, John Thomas Harrsen

Publication number: 20240089791Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a wireless device may buffer uplink communications. However, such approaches may be improved. An access point (AP) may receive, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link. The AP may monitor a buffer of the AP to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow. The AP may modify, based on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Xiaolong Huang, Srinivas Katar, Sandip Homchaudhuri, Guido Robert Frederiks, Bhaskara Peela, James Simon Cho, Patrick Poon-Cheuk Chan

Patent number: 9088388Abstract: The high quality PCS communications are enabled in environments where adjacent PCS service bands operate with out-of-band harmonics that would otherwise interfere with the system's operation. The highly bandwidth-efficient communications method combines a form of time division duplex (TDD), frequency division duplex (FDD), time division multiple access (TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), spatial diversity, and polarization diversity in various unique combinations. The method provides excellent fade resistance. The method enables changing a user's available bandwidth on demand by assigning additional TDMA slots during the user's session.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Siavash Alamouti, Eduardo F. Casas, Michael Hirano, Elliott Hoole, Mary Jesse, David G. Michelson, Patrick Poon, Gregory J. Veintimilla, Hongliang Zhang

Patent number: 9065516Abstract: Good transmission characteristics are achieved in the presence of fading with a transmitter that employs a trellis coder followed by a block coder. Correspondingly, the receiver comprises a Viterbi decoder followed by a block decoder. Advantageously, the block coder and decoder employ time-space diversity coding which, illustratively, employs two transmitter antennas and one receiver antenna.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II, LLCInventors: Siavash Alamouti, Patrick Poon, Vahid Tarokh

Patent number: 8231716Abstract: A self-alarming air cleaner is disclosed. The air cleaner includes an air filter element (1), a light emitting element (2) and a light sensor (3). The light emitting element (2) and the light sensor (3) are both faced to the air filter element (1). The light emitted from the light emitting element (2) is reflected by the air filter element (1) or permeated to the air filter element (1), then forms an area of light attenuation where the light sensor (3) is located. The light emitting element (2) and the light sensor (3) connect with a circuit which has an alarming device. When much dust is accumulated on the air filter element (1), the intensity of the light reaching the light sensor (3) is weakened and the alarming device (4) can give an alarm automatically.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Inventor: Chiwai Patrick Poon
