Patent number: 9209889Abstract: A Long Term Evolution (LTE) Concentrator and Distributor system and method extends geographical coverage while minimizing Evolved Node B (eNB) deployments. The system and method use a distributed array of Wide Band Receiver Transmitter (WBRT) devices (i.e., RF Heads, RFH, including antennas) connected via wide-band links to a central standard LTE eNB through a novel LTE Concentrator-Distributor (LTE-CD) which is an uplink (smart optimal) concentrator and downlink simulcast distributor. The eNB downlink signal (baseband or modulated RF) is distributed in synchronization (simulcast) through the LTE-CD to all WBRTs for downlink simulcast transmission to all UEs in the coverage area. The WBRTs receive uplink signals from user equipment, UE, devices in a coverage area, send the uplink signals (baseband or modulated RF) to the LTE-CD which optimally combines all received signals into one best uplink signal that is sent (in baseband or modulated RF) to the eNB.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Itzhak Shperling, Amiram Frish, Guy Holtzman, Eitan Koren, Abraham Tooba

Patent number: 8937889Abstract: Methods for inter-mixer communication enable a “self-formed” cascaded mixer node tree topology. One method enables inter-mixer node signaling and includes first selecting a plurality of media flow payloads at a first cascaded mixer node. A set of conference payloads are generated and each include the media flow payloads from the plurality of media flow payloads that are part of the same conference call, an identifier for the conference call, and a node identifier for each media flow in the conference call. For each media flow in the conference call, each conference payload further identifies whether the first cascaded mixer node is a root node or a leaf node. The set of conference payloads are bundled into a single packet and sent to a second cascaded mixer node. Another method enables the “self-forming” of the mixer node tree topology. Yet another method enables active talker identification within the “self-formed” tree topology.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Eitan Koren, Yosi Rahamim, Itzhak Shperling, Abraham Tooba, Nira Yalon

Patent number: 8929938Abstract: At least one subscriber unit (SU) (110) can register with a radio frequency (RF) site (120) for radio services. For each registered SU, a SU push to talk over cellular (PoC) client (342-346) can be activated/established. Communications can be mapped at the RF Site (120) between each registered SU (110) and a corresponding SU PoC client (342-346). Each SU PoC client (342-346) at the RF site (120) can be communicatively linked to a remotely located PoC server (132) using a PoC interface (226). The SU PoC client (342-346) is a communication endpoint of the PoC server (132). In one embodiment, a talkgroup PoC client (350-352) can be established at the RF site (120) that is linked to the PoC server (132). Radio communications to and from the SU (110) can be routed through the SU PoC client (342-346) and/or the talkgroup PoC client (350-352) and through the PoC server (132).Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Eitan Koren, Galina Korkhin, Mark Shahaf, Abraham Tooba

Patent number: 8478276Abstract: A method for transferring a communication session between companion devices includes connecting to a communication session over a communication system using a current set of session parameters and an identifier for a portable wireless communication device. The portable wireless communication device is in an active mode for the communication session. The method also includes: detecting that the portable wireless communication device is within a range of a companion wireline communication device that is configured with the identifier for the portable wireless communication device; and synchronizing with the companion wireline communication device, wherein the synchronizing includes transferring the current set of session parameters to the companion wireline communication device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2011Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Eitan Koren, Abraham Tooba, Nira Yalon
