  • Patent number: 11818698
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for increasing the transmit power of wireless communication devices operating on power spectral density (PSD)-limited wireless channels. Some implementations more specifically relate to physical layer (PHY) convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) designs that support distributed transmission. In some implementations, a PPDU may be generated based on one or more legacy tone plans. In such implementations, a portion of the PPDU may be modulated on a number (M) of tones representing a logical RU, and the M tones may be further mapped to M noncontiguous subcarrier indices in accordance with a distributed tone plan. In some other implementations, a PPDU may be generated based on a distributed tone plan. In such implementations, a portion of the PPDU may be modulated on a number (M) of tones coinciding with M noncontiguous subcarrier indices in accordance with the distributed tone plan.

  • Patent number: 11805396
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of a wireless sensor platform. The device that interrogates a wireless sensor node (an interrogator) may be configured to determine the quantity to be measured by extracting information from multiple echoes produced in response to multiple interrogation pulses or produced due to multi-path propagation. Although different echoes may have been transformed to different extents, the echoes may share unique characteristics that are specific to the wireless sensor node that produced them. Accordingly, the SNR may be improved by keeping only portions of the received signal that exhibit such characteristics. The SNR may be further improved by summing the echoes together. In some embodiments, the echoes may be summed together in a coherent fashion, thereby producing an echo having an amplitude greater than the amplitude of each of the received echoes.

  • Patent number: 11722405
    Abstract: In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a router determines whether or not to establish a stateful routing session based on the suitability of one or more candidate return path interfaces. This determination is typically made at the time a first packet for a new session arrives at the router on a given ingress interface. In some cases, the router may be configured to require that the ingress interface be used for the return path of the session, in which case the router may evaluate whether the ingress interface is suitable for the return path and may drop the session if the ingress interface is deemed by the router to be unsuitable for the return path. In other cases, the router may be configured to not require that the ingress interface be used for the return path, in which case the router may evaluate whether at least one interface is suitable for the return path and drop the session if no interface is deemed by the router to be suitable for the return path.
