  • Patent number: 12200597
    Abstract: A control signal used for selecting a parent node in a tree route is transmitted from a first wireless node among a plurality of wireless nodes which constitute a backhaul network. Second wireless nodes each select, as a parent node, one of transmission source nodes of a plurality of control signals on the basis of an index indicating the radio wave propagation quality of a route through which each of the control signals received from different route has been propagated. Fixed wireless nodes among the second wireless nodes each transmit the received control signal to the other second wireless nodes, and a movable wireless node among the second wireless nodes terminates the received control signal.

  • Patent number: 12199869
    Abstract: This application relates to a distributed software-defined network (“DSDN”) for dynamically configuring and managing a wireless communication network. A plurality of DSDN nodes are connected to each other via a plurality of communication paths. Each communication path directly connects two DSDN nodes. Each DSDN node can provide DSDN configurations across diverse and disparate networks by normalizing its data plane network traffic through translation and packet encapsulation. Furthermore, the DSDN node can provide an architecture tolerant of network interruptions and network system fluctuations. For example, in the case of any one of the DSDN node's network interruptions from other DSDN nodes, the DSDN can provide network reconfiguration using network configuration rules stored in a control plane of each DSDN node.

  • Patent number: 12177761
    Abstract: A communication system includes a central cloud server that decreases a gain of a currently active path, which corresponds to a primary communication path between a radio access network (RAN) node and one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first set of edge devices, until the currently active path becomes dormant. A gain of a dormant path, corresponding to a secondary communication path is increased until the dormant path becomes a new active path. Further, at least one edge device of the second set of edge devices is caused to transmit one or more beams of radio frequency (RF) signals in one or more specific directions towards one or more new neighboring nodes to establish the secondary communication path that is used as a backup communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via a second set of edge devices different from the first set of edge devices.
