Publication number: 20220329662Abstract: A wireless mesh network is described. It uses a plurality of Wi-Fi nodes organized in a tree shape. The nodes include one or more root access point (RAP) nodes having a wired connection to an external network and one or more mesh access point (MAP) nodes. A MAP node is in a data communication with the external network through an associated RAP node either directly or by another MAP node in a data communication with the external network through its associated RAP node. A MAP node automatically connects to the associated parent node by selecting a single associated parent node from one or more potential parent nodes that are within a direct wireless communication range of the MAP node and establishing a parent-child relationship with the associated parent node.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Francis DaCosta, Sriram Dayanandan

Patent number: 11368537Abstract: A wireless mesh network is described. The mesh network uses a plurality of data communications nodes that are organized in a tree-like structure. The network also includes an access server which communicates with the nodes. The mesh network nodes are one or more root access point nodes having a wired connection to an external network; and one or more mesh access point nodes. Both types of nodes communicate with an external network. Each non-root node automatically connects to an associated parent node selected from one or more nodes within a direct wireless communication range of the node. The node selects a parent node based on one or more parent selection criteria from the access server and establishes a connection to the selected parent node. The node then calculates its routing path to the external network. The nodes include unique identifiers and two or more radios.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Dynamic Mesh Networks, Inc.Inventors: Francis DaCosta, Sriram Dayanandan

Patent number: 10945285Abstract: A communication system comprising one or more wireless stations programmed to await for an authorizing signal to initiate wireless communications with a network controller or access point. The network controller maintains identification information in different queues, and polls stations from those queues. The wireless station identification information may be moved between the different queues in response to wireless station activity. Between polling, each mobile station aggregates data for the next opportunity to transmit. Multi-polling may be employed such that more than a single station is polled at a time. Polling is accomplished by polling one of the more stations from each queue having the effect that stations in one queue are polled more often than those in another queue. If a lesser active station becomes active, it may be moved into the shorter queue and consequently will be polled more often.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Ubiquiti Inc.Inventors: Robert J Pera, Sriram Dayanandan

Patent number: 10826654Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a wireless system. During operation, the system can determine a set of contiguous virtual sequence numbers and a virtual traffic category indicator for a set of packets belonging to different traffic categories associated with a network protocol stack. Each packet includes an original sequence number and an original traffic category indicator. The system then generates an aggregate frame comprising modified packets of the set of the packets. The system modifies a respective packet by modifying a payload of the packet to include the original sequence number and the original traffic category indicator of the packet and modifying a header of the packet to include a virtual sequence number of the set of contiguous virtual sequence numbers and the virtual traffic category indicator. The system determines that a wireless medium for a wireless transceiver is available for transmitting the aggregate frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Ubiquiti Inc.Inventors: Sriram Dayanandan, Darius Ivanauskas, Mindaugas Kriauciunas, Antanas Gadeikis, Kestutis Barkauskas

Patent number: 10194328Abstract: Generation and use of geographic databases of frequency spectral information within an operating frequency band. Described herein are methods of making databases of geospectral information and using these databases to optimize performance of wireless networks. For example, a network of wireless radio devices that monitor the frequency spectrum of the operating frequency band may provide this geographically marked information to a central database to create a database of geospectral frequency information. This geospectral frequency information may be used to characterize, optimize or modify a network of wireless radio device, or to modify an individual wireless radio device.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sriram Dayanandan, Vish Ponnampalam

Patent number: 10165477Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for configuring an access point in a wireless network. During operation, the access point discovers one or more existing access points associated with the wireless network. The access point then obtains a set of configuration information from one existing access point, and synchronizes a local timestamp counter to a selected existing access point, thereby allowing the access point to be configured without using a centralized management station.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2017Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sriram Dayanandan, Bo-chieh Yang, Yuan-Hsiang Lee, Keh-Ming Luoh, Robert J.
