Patents by Inventor Stephane Joseph BEAUREGARD

Stephane Joseph BEAUREGARD 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).

  • Patent number: 9237545
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, devices, methods, media, products, and other implementations, including a method that includes determining, at a first wireless device comprising multiple transmit antennas, at least one signal transmission characteristic according to at least one pre-determined varying transmission characteristic determination process. The at least one transmission characteristic includes, for example, a transmit antenna selected from the multiple transmit antennas, a beam characteristic, a cyclic delay diversity parameter, and/or any combination thereof. The method also includes transmitting from the first wireless device to a second wireless device a signal using the at least one signal transmission characteristic determined according to the at least one pre-determined varying transmission characteristic determination process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2016
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated

  • Patent number: 9210682
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, devices, methods, media, products, and other implementations, including a method that includes controllably modifying, at a first wireless device, an original unmodified value of at least one PHY-layer signal parameter, such as amplitude, frequency, timestamp, gain, signal equalization, and/or any combination thereof, of a signal according to at least one pre-determined varying signal modification process. The method further includes transmitting to a second wireless device the signal with the controllably modified value of the at least one PHY-layer signal parameter, with the transmitted signal configured to facilitate position determination of the second wireless device when the original unmodified value of the at least one PHY-layer signal parameter is determined at the second wireless device from the controllably modified value of the at least one PHY-layer signal parameter.
