Patent number: 11852743Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for learning radio frequency pulses transmitted at various frequencies in a wireless environment, including false radar signals and actual radar. For example, the system can keep a list of radio frequency pulse characteristics detected by access points (APs) but ignored when not declared a radar. The detected radio frequency pulse can be compared with those on the list and may be added to the deny-list if not radar. The AP learns what intervals are normal for the communication environment and if the noise someday looks like a real radar (but it not actually a radar), it will not be classified as radar because it is on the deny-list.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Jean-Francois Gagnon, Myung Cheol Kim, Andre Beaudin

Patent number: 10381716Abstract: This application proposes multi-beam antenna systems using spherical lens with high isolation between antenna ports and compatible to 2×2, 4×4, 8×8 MIMO transceivers. Several compact multi-band, multi-beam solutions (with wideband operation, 40%+, in each band) are achieved by creating dual-band radiators movable on a track around one or more spherical lenses and by placing lower band radiators between spherical lenses. By using secondary lenses for high band radiators, coupling between low band and high band radiators is reduced. Beam tilt range and side lobe suppression are improved through phase shifting and/or a rotational angle of radiators. A wide beam tilt range (0-40 degree) can be achieved via the proposed multi-beam antenna systems. Each beam can be independently tilted. Based on proposed single and multi-lens antenna solutions, cell coverage improvements and stadium tribune coverage optimization are also achieved, together with a reduction in interference.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Matsing, Inc.Inventors: Serguei Matitsine, Igor Timofeev, Leonid Matytsine, Anthony DeMarco

Patent number: 10375225Abstract: Adjustable device settings is described herein. In one or more implementations, a client device is configured with device settings that are compatible with multiple different geographical locations. The client device attaches to a wireless network via a wireless radio of the client device, and receives location information from the attached wireless network. The client device determines a current geographical location of the client device based at least in part on the location information received from the wireless network, and adjusts the device settings of the client device to conform to location-specific settings of the current geographical location.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahesh Yadav, Srinivasa Lakshmana Rao, Tae Hwan Jung

Patent number: 10374986Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for balancing loads in a publish-subscribe system. An example method includes: selecting a first hosting node from a plurality of hosting nodes based, at least in part, on a load data selected from at least one of node-specific data representing loads on the plurality of hosting nodes and channel-specific data representing a load associated with a channel; sending a request to the first hosting node to temporarily host a portion of a channel; temporarily hosting the channel portion by the first hosting node by temporarily storing one or more messages published to the channel, and temporarily providing, to a plurality of subscribers to the channel, access to the one of more messages; receiving a request to access the channel portion; and granting permission to access the channel portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: SATORI WORLDWIDE, LLCInventors: Lev Walkin, Fredrik Erik Linder

Patent number: 10361769Abstract: A signal forwarding device forwards signals between a user equipment (UE) device and a base station using a partial decode and forward (PDF) signal forwarding scheme where an incoming signal is demodulated and forwarded to a destination as a forwarded signal without decoding the incoming signal. The signal forwarding device transmits, to the base station, channel information regarding the UE-SFD channel between the UE device and the signal forwarding device. A base station (BS) scheduler determines the coding rate to be used by the UE device at least partially based on the channel information. The base station transmits coding rate information indicative of the coding rate to the signal forwarding device. A signal forwarding device (SFD) scheduler schedules communication resources for use by the UE device at least partially based on the coding rate information.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Amit Kalhan, Henry Chang

Patent number: 10349402Abstract: One embodiment relates to a transmission regulation method is for implementation by a station having at least one frame for transmission via a telecommunications network, the station belonging to a first group of stations sharing the same contention resolution mechanism. The method comprises participating in a tournament serving to decide, within the first group, between stations entitled to transmit at the end of the tournament and stations not entitled to transmit, and when the station is entitled to transmit, the method comprises transmitting the frame in a time period during which stations of a second group performing another contention resolution mechanism are not entitled to transmit in the network.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: OrangeInventors: Patrick Brown, Jérôme Galtier

Patent number: 10341963Abstract: Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things). For example, a communication network implemented in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure may support transmission power adaptation in a network of moving things comprising various fixed nodes, mobile nodes, and/or a combination thereof, which are selectable to achieve any of a variety of system goals.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: VENIAM, INC.Inventor: Carlos Eduardo Braga Ameixieira

Patent number: 10305667Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided to allocate a time and frequency resource of a resource request indicator (RRI) and to transmit an RRI. Codes are allocated for an RRI and other (such as non-RRI) uplink control signaling. The RRI and other uplink control signaling can be multiplexed in the same time and frequency resource, such as through multiplexing in a code division manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Shujun Dang, Sha Ma, Xianghua Wang, Tianle Deng, Xiaobo Chen, Chengyu Wang

Patent number: 10285177Abstract: System and method for automatic communication with remote devices enabling remote control and monitoring of the devices. The primary target is for low-power, remote devices running narrow or relatively narrow bandwidths, though the method is not restricted for any payload limits. The system enables two devices on a fully automated basis to identify each other, sound the radio paths between them to discover spectrum characteristics, select and exchange a vector of currently unused and optimum frequency bands for communication. Once defined, the devices use the frequency bands for automatic communication. The method enables devices to configure themselves for exchange of data and then the transfer of data. The base station and/or end points have the ability to initiate a connection and data transfer and use software defined radios to implement this capability.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: RURISOND, INC.Inventors: Robert S. Stevenson, Thomas A. Riddle
