Patent number: 9554303Abstract: A system and method for dynamically changing the quality of service (QoS) for a subscriber of a cellular radio system. Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) enables the subscriber to dynamically switch to higher bandwidth and to enable a higher throughput. This may be for a limited time or amount of data, for example. The initiation may be by the subscriber, carrier, sponsor, or automatically by an application. The QoS increase may be dynamically priced in a kind of auction. The wireless device may contact the policy servers of a multiple network operator (MNO), which in turn contacts the Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server in the MNO's core network. The policy server contacts the scheduler on the serving basestation which then determines whether to allocate more resources (i.e. bandwidth in the form of subcarriers, resource blocks, resource elements, timeslots) to the subscriber. The initiation may start a timer or data counter.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: PLUSN LLCInventors: Richard E.

Patent number: 9401823Abstract: A system and method for aggregation of a plurality of wireless communication signals in a common radio frequency transmitter. A multiple subchannel multiplexed (MSM) signal within a frequency band, and having a communication protocol with pilot signals estimating a channel state and efficient signal demodulation with a mobile receiver is combined with another signal. An automated digital processor at the transmitter modifies the MSM to meet at least one fitness criterion of the combined signal, selected from among alternatives that will maintain good reception of all transmitted signals within system protocols, without requiring transmitting additional side information specifying the modification. The range of alternates include modifications that disrupt the pilot signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: PlusN LLCInventor: John David Terry
