  • Patent number: 11271691
    Abstract: Methods and systems that enable payload data to be spread over a number of a plurality of sub-carriers for wireless transmissions between Access Points (AP) and stations (STA) in a WLAN. The AP receives each STA's status information, and controls an amount of spreading of the payload data that can flexibly and variably takes into account the desired amount of peak power consumption, the required data rate, and the channel conditions. Based on these factors, the AP determines a number of sub-carriers for each STA that will be used to carry the spread payload data. Example embodiments can address high power peak consumption, data rate inflexibility and inefficient spectrum communication as found in conventional wireless systems.

  • Patent number: 11184950
    Abstract: A system and method for incorporating co-site interference impact in dynamic spectrum access for heterogeneous hierarchical networks where preprocessing is used to create lookup tables for the different types of co-site interference. The lookup tables reflect the weight of the spectral leakage lobes for all signals internal and external to the system under different conditions. Lookup tables can be used at any hierarchical entity that offer dynamic spectrum access services in a cloud services construct. Co-site interference impact becomes its own set of dynamic spectrum access services that can be added to a dynamic spectrum access capable system without impacting the other dynamic spectrum access computations needs such as computation that produce spatial separation. Co-site interference becomes a second order spatial separation that is abstracted in lookup tables and adaptable based on measured metrics such that different lookup tables can be used under different conditions.
