  • Publication number: 20090147684
    Abstract: The integrated network optimization as a comprehensive framework for a multi-variable optimization across all seven layers of the OSI model, of the network resources and their allocations to optimally enable services to the end-users based on their service level agreements (SLAs), in particular but not limited to wireless networks. This approach is real-time and thus dynamically in an integrated fashion allocates the resources of the network in an optimal manner to the many users on the network simultaneously such that the nature and requirements of each application, each user is using are addressed. This invention optimizes the utilization of resources & spectrum of the network, the quality of the experience of the users of the network, the quality of the applications and services delivered by the network to the users, the economics of the network & its operation by optimal utilization of the resources for wireless networks.

  • Patent number: 7388919
    Abstract: A system that adapts wireless link parameters for a wireless communication link. A measure is determined of errors occurring in communication over a wireless link. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to more errors than a first predetermined threshold, communication changes from a first set of wireless link parameters to a second set of wireless link parameters. The second set of wireless link parameters corresponds to higher error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. In a case that the measure of errors corresponds to fewer errors than a second predetermined threshold, communication changes from the first set of wireless link parameters to a third set of wireless link parameters. The third set of wireless link parameters corresponds to lower error tolerance than the first set of wireless link parameters. Preferably, the measure of errors is determined by monitoring a number of NACK messages and a number of ACK messages that occur.

  • Patent number: 7366133
    Abstract: A method and system for adaptive point to multipoint wireless communication. The method and system integrate adaptive and dynamic responsiveness for communication parameters related to multiple characteristics of wireless communication links, both for a single sender and a single receiver, and for sets of multiple senders and multiple receivers. Moreover, the method and system are self-optimizing in the sense that they are adaptively and dynamically responsive to results of attempts to optimize parameters related to multiple characteristics of wireless communication links. Multiple characteristics of wireless communication links are optimized simultaneously, in that the optimal set of values for a plurality of N characteristics, rather fan N individual optimal values for each characteristic, is adaptively and dynamically selected.

  • Publication number: 20070184828
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for robust topology wireless communication using access points. A wireless communication system includes a communication cell having a base station controller and at least one set of customer premises equipment. The customer premises equipment is disposed within a sector of the cell, and communication between the base station controller and the customer premises equipment is controlled by the base station controller is so as to prevent interference between multiple sets of customer premises equipment. When customer premises equipment is subject to relatively larger amounts of multipath effect, or interference or noise, one or more access points are disposed within the sector, so as to propagate or route communication between the base station controller and one or more sets of customer premises equipment. The access points may range in complexity from simple reflectors, to repeaters, to routing devices operative within the cell.
