Publication number: 20210243060Abstract: Systems and methods of pre-allocating identifiers to wireless devices for use in requesting resources over a random access channel are described. A wireless communication system includes a random access channel over which wireless devices can anonymously send requests for resources. The base stations receiving and processing the anonymous requests reduces the probability of random access channel collisions and conserves the resources needed to support the anonymous requests by pre-allocating one or more identifiers to select wireless devices. The wireless devices having the pre-allocated codes can transmit a particular code over the random access channel as a request for resources that uniquely identifies the requester.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Applicant: Wi-LAN INC.Inventors: Yair Bourlas, Adam E. Newham, Lei Wang, Srikanth Gummadi

Patent number: 9235241Abstract: A system for detecting anatomical gestures based on the interpretation of radio signal transmissions. A user may place wireless devices on his/her head and wrist(s) that communicate through short-range radio signals. The wireless devices may collect information regarding signal exchanges which may be analyzed by a computing device to determine positional information about the user's hands. The computing device may compile the positional information into sequences and evaluate the sequences against predefined patterns of movement data. The computing device may interpret recognized movements as computer input commands. In an embodiment, multiple wireless devices may be placed on the user's wrists to enable multi-touch input commands. In an embodiment, data from motion sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, may be combined with movement data based on radio signal information.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Adam E.
