  • Patent number: 11683028
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include radio frequency (RF) switches that may provide increased power handling capability. In general, the embodiments described herein can provide this increased power handling by equalizing the voltages across transistors when the RF switch is open. Specifically, the embodiments described herein can be implemented to equalize the source-drain voltages across each field effect transistor (FET) in a FET stack that occurs when the RF switch is open and not conducting current. This equalization can be provided by using one or more compensation circuits to couple one or more gates and transistor bodies in the FET stack in a way that at least partially compensates for the effects of parasitic leakage currents in the FET stack. In addition, multiple FET stacks are implemented in parallel in at least some switch branches to improve settling time for the branch.

  • Patent number: 11671916
    Abstract: An energy efficient protocol for a communication network made up of a network of wireless communication nodes is disclosed. To reduce the amount of energy consumed by the nodes, the nodes operate in a reduced power duty cycle acquisition mode of operation in which the nodes cycle between a low power standby state and a higher power detection state. The nodes are forced to transition out of the duty cycle acquisition mode in response to detection of a triggering event when in the detection state. The operating parameters of the reduced power duty cycle acquisition mode can be modified based on current operating conditions on the network.

  • Patent number: 11659420
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network. A network device in the production network may receive a registration request, from the UE device, that includes the configuration information. Based on the configuration information, the network device blocks the UE device from accessing the production network. Instead, the test network management system initiates provisioning of the test mode network segment for the UE device; and the network device redirects the registration request to the test mode network segment.
