Patent number: 8208873Abstract: Adjusting parameters of a waveform includes facilitating wireless communication between a transmitting node and receiving nodes, where the transmitting node communicates with a receiving node over a channel. Spectrum conditions are estimated, where a spectrum condition describes spectrum utilization in the vicinity of surrounding nodes. Channel conditions are estimated, where a channel condition describes a channel of the plurality of channels. Waveform parameters are adjusted in response to the spectrum conditions and the channel conditions.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Powerwave Cognition, Inc.Inventors: Scott Y. Seidel, Jay N. Livingston, Robert J. Breinig, Bernd-Peter Paris, Michael R. Franceschini

Patent number: 6847678Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for generating an adaptive air interface waveform includes generating a waveform that includes a variable carrier frequency and variable bandwidth signal. The variable bandwidth signal includes one or more subcarriers that are dynamically placeable over a range of frequencies, and each subcarrier is separately modulated according to a direct sequence (DS) spread spectrum (SS) technique. The waveform has an embedded pilot usable to optimize one or more spectrum efficiencies of the waveform. A modulation constellation, a code rate, and a code length of the generated waveform are adapted according to an available spectrum and one or more sub-carrier conditions.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Roberto Berezdivin, Robert J. Breinig, Allan R. Topp, Scott Y. Seidel
