Publication number: 20180035305Abstract: In embodiments of distributed channel sampling across a mesh network, a commissioning device propagates a scanning request, which includes a number of scanning parameters, to nodes in a mesh network, causing the nodes to perform energy detection (ED) scans using the scanning parameters. The commissioning device receives energy measurements in scanning reports from the nodes and analyzes the measurements to determine an operating channel for the mesh network. The commissioning device updates the operating channel in network configuration information that is sent to a leader device in the mesh network, for propagation to the mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Publication number: 20170339653Abstract: In embodiments of distributed coordination of mesh network configuration updates, pending commissioning datasets are managed and distributed to coordinate configuration changes of parameters that control participation in, and secure communication over, a mesh network. Pending network commissioning datasets are managed across fragmentation of the mesh network into multiple partitions and subsequent merging of the fragments to ensure that the most recent updates to pending commissioning datasets are propagated to mesh network devices and that all mesh network devices will receive pending commissioning datasets before the time that the pending commissioning dataset becomes the active commissioning dataset for the mesh network.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Publication number: 20170222923Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a router registers an address for an end device and assigns a child identifier to the end device. The router encodes an endpoint identifier of the end device, and a router identifier of the router into an Endpoint Identifier, which the router incorporates into a Routing Locator (RLOC) for the end device. The router responds to address queries and receives data packets on behalf of the end device. The router stores the data packets for the end device until the router can forward the data packets to the end device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2017Publication date: August 3, 2017Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Patent number: 9686360Abstract: LTE and HSPA/UMTS deployments are trending towards high density, heterogeneous and ad-hoc deployments. These deployments can be managed through Self-Organizing Network (SON) schemas. Enabling SON generally involves the introduction of new software and/or hardware entities into the network that can interact with existing base station and network entities (e.g., Enhanced Packet Core, Element Management System, and/or other network entities). In one embodiment, these interactions include the development and deployment of interfaces (e.g., APIs) and protocols between the SON entities and various network entities. For example, data collected on either side of an interface or protocol can be post-processed before consumption (e.g., for both data integrity purposes as well as bandwidth reduction purposes).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: AirHop Communications, Inc.Inventors: Hanson On, Douglas McPherson, Zaijin Guan, Ramakrishna Akella, Hsien Woo, Yan Hui

Patent number: 9485743Abstract: Apparatus and methods for synchronizing a network element (e.g. access points, femtocells, etc.) to a master network (such as a cellular network) to provide accurate frequency and/or time references for their internal systems. In one embodiment, the network element utilizes a dedicated receiver (or transceiver) to receive timing information from the master network. The implementation of the dedicated receiver is advantageous for cost and simplicity reasons. Furthermore, the timing or frequency information, as received from the master network, is used to correct the network element's internal timing. In addition, the network element's internal timing can operate in open-loop mode, if no master network can be found, thereby allowing for the device to continue providing service to network users. Additionally, a dedicated receiver can also receive information (e.g. location, SID, NID, SSID, etc.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: AIRHOP COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Edwin C.

Patent number: 9408133Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network commissioning, a commissioning device of a mesh network can determine steering data for the mesh network, where the steering data includes an indication of a device identifier associated with a device that is allowed to join the mesh network, and the indication is represented as a set of values in a Bloom filter that represent the device identifier. The commissioning device can then propagate the steering data from the commissioning device for the mesh network to one or more routers in the mesh network. Propagating the steering data enables the routers to transmit the steering data in a beacon message, where the steering data enables the device associated with the device identifier to compare the set of values in the Bloom filter to a second set of values determined at the device to identify that the device is allowed to join the mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Martin A.

Patent number: 9385953Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a router device receives provisioning domains that include an address prefix and an associated preference value for the address prefix. The router determines a route, based on one of the address prefixes, to use to forward a data packet to a destination. The router uses the preference values to prioritize the routing of the data packet. In other aspects, the preference values can be set based on one or more factors, and the router can use the preference values in addition to mesh network routing costs to determine a route for a data packet.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Patent number: 9369374Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a border router receives an address prefix and associated configuration information from an external network. The received address prefix and the configuration information enable the border router to create a provisioning domain that includes the received address prefix and the configuration information, as well as a unique identifier. The border router forwards the created provisioning domain to a leader device in the mesh network that stores the provisioning domain and propagates the provisioning domain to routers to enable packet addressing and routing in the mesh network.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Patent number: 9344365Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing, a router receives a packet to deliver to a network destination and determines if the network destination is within the mesh network. The network destination enables the router to discover a Routing Locator (RLOC) that is associated with the network destination and provides a routable network address for the network destination. The router can forward the received packet using the routable network address from the discovered Routing Locator. The router can discover the RLOC by searching a cache of RLOCs stored in the router, or by sending an address query.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.

Patent number: 9300581Abstract: In embodiments of mesh network addressing for duplicate address detection, an end device of the mesh network can generate an address identifier that includes an address and time-based information associated with the end device, which is attached to a router device for communication in the mesh network. The address identifier is maintained by the router device as a tuple state of the end device. The end device or the router device can initiate an address query requesting that mesh network devices in the mesh network having a designated address respond with the tuple state that corresponds to the designated address. The end device or router device receives the tuple state of mesh network devices having the designated address in response to the address query, and can then detect a duplicate address of a mesh network device based on the time based information.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Wing-Yan Hui, Martin A.
