Patent number: 11973568Abstract: A method for performing monitoring, commissioning, upgrading, analyzing, load balancing, remediating, and optimizing the operation, control, and maintenance of a plurality of remotely located RF signal repeater devices in a wireless network arranged to operate as an Internet of Things (IoT) network. Electronic RF signal repeater devices are employed as elements in the wireless network and communicate wireless radio frequency (RF) signals for a plurality of users. An RF signal repeater device may be arranged to operate as a donor unit device that provides RF signal communication between one or more remotely located wireless base stations, or other donor unit devices on the wireless network. Also, an RF signal repeater device may be arranged to operate as a service unit device that provides wireless RF signal communication between one or more user equipment devices (UEs) and a donor unit device or a wireless base station.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Pivotal Commware, Inc.Inventors: Eric James Black, Mersad Cavcic, Brian Mark Deutsch, Alexander Remley Katko, Juan Pablo Olivo González, Christophe Jean Marcel Vidal

Publication number: 20240031953Abstract: A system for transmitting and receiving wireless signals through a physical barrier, such as walls or windows, to wireless computing devices that are located internal to a structure that is formed in part by the physical barrier. The wireless signals are millimeter waveforms with gigahertz frequencies that are communicated with 5G communication protocols by one or more remote base station nodes located external to the physical barrier. One or more external antennas are configured to communicate RF wireless signals with HMA waveforms to remote wireless base station. In one or more embodiments, the RF wireless signals are amplified and communicated bi-statically through the window barrier between customer premises equipment and an authorized remote wireless base station.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Eric James Black, Mersad Cavcic, Brian Mark Deutsch, Alexander Remley Katko, Jay Howard McCandless, Adam Deloss Rea, Ryan Dale Rutledge, Shannon Lee Hitchen, Seyed Ali Malek Abadi, Jordan Philip Dole {hacek over (z)}ílek Read

Patent number: 11848478Abstract: The invention compensates for abnormal operating temperatures and/or abnormal behaviors of a holographic metasurface antenna (HMA) that is generating a beam based on a holographic function. The HMA is characterized with different holographic functions for a plurality of operating temperatures and a plurality of behaviors during the manufacturing process. The characterization of the HMA identifies different hologram functions that cause the HMA to generate more or less heat or exhibit more or less abnormal behavior while generating equivalent beams. Further, or more characterizations of a hologram function may be performed remotely after the HMA is installed in a real world environment. An operating temperature and/or a temperature gradient may be detected by temperature sensors physically located on a circuit board for the HMA.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Pivotal Commware, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Remley Katko, Melroy Machado, Eric James Black, Jay Howard McCandless, Brian Mark Deutsch

Patent number: 11843955Abstract: Mobile communications base stations, such as 5G wireless communications base stations operating at millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies, may have limited spatial coverage due to issues such as limited line of sight or attenuation from foliage or structures. Line of sight and attenuation can be modeled to recommend placement of repeaters for expanded spatial coverage. The repeaters can include open-air repeaters and window repeaters.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Pivotal Commware, Inc.Inventors: Mersad Cavcic, Brian Mark Deutsch, Brett Daniel Mills, Sameer Lalwani

Patent number: 11750305Abstract: Empirically modulated antenna systems and related methods are disclosed herein. An empirically modulated antenna system includes an antenna and a controller programmed to control the antenna. The antenna includes a plurality of discrete scattering elements arranged in a one- or two-dimensional arrangement. A method includes modulating operational states of at least a portion of a plurality of discrete scattering elements of the antenna in a plurality of different modulation patterns. The plurality of different modulation patterns includes different permutations of the discrete scattering elements operating in different operational states. The method also includes evaluating a performance parameter of the antenna responsive to the plurality of different empirical one- or two-dimensional modulation patterns. The method further includes operating the antenna in one of the plurality of different one- or two-dimensional empirical modulation patterns selected based, at least in part, on the performance parameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: THE INVENTION SCIENCE FUND I, LLCInventors: Eric J. Black, Brian Mark Deutsch, Alexander Remley Katko, Melroy Machado, Jay Howard Mccandless, Yaroslav A. Urzhumov
