Publication number: 20210218660Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that may determine a net neutrality status. Server and agent of an internet network may each generate two flows of data that are transmitted/received by the server/agent, respectively. The first flow comprises an unspoofed data flow as may be transmitted over the network based on an HTTP GET command. The second flow may comprise a spoofed data flow. The second flow may emulate, or spoof, a video stream or other data flows that may be altered in the network. Server or agent may compare the first flow relative to the second flow to determine differences in performance data, from which a net neutrality status can be detected. Generally, after a measurement command is invoked, the system starts a downstream measurement. Then after completion of the downstream measurement, the system starts an upstream measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Chan-Soo HWANG, John M.

Publication number: 20210099277Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for improving the performance and range of wireless communication systems. In various embodiments, a wireless and wireline architecture is implemented to allow a channel to more efficiently span physical barriers within the channel. The wireline portion of the channel may leverage pre-existing copper deployed within a building by interfacing copper with north and south transceiver nodes that allow the signal to propagate through a physical structure on the wire itself resulting in significantly less signal degradation compared to the signal having to traverse the physical structure wirelessly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: John M.

Publication number: 20210006482Abstract: Presented are systems and methods for monitoring communication link performance between a communication device located behind a NAT, which is coupled to a communication device via a communication link, while enabling NAT traversal. Various embodiments utilize periodic transmissions of a short burst of communication packets between communication devices to monitor communication link performance. To monitor whether a link can support a particular service, a minimum required data rate of the service may be compared to a lower bound of the throughput measured by the dispersion of packets and by detecting excessive queueing delay. Once a problem is detected, a more accurate performance measurement may be triggered. Periodic communication enables NAT traversal via NAT hole puncturing. Overall, communication devices may maintain connection across a NAT, while monitoring communication link performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Chan-Soo HWANG, John M.

Publication number: 20200359165Abstract: A compound sensor system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a memory that stores a module, and a processor coupled to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the memory. The first sensor is configured to detect a parameter that indicates a likelihood of having a user enter or leave a target area, and, in response, send a first command signal to the processor. The processor is configured to receive the first command signal from the first sensor and send a second command signal to the second sensor based on receiving the first command signal. The second sensor is configured to operate at a sleep mode and switch to an active mode upon receiving the second command signal, and during the active mode the second sensor is configured to determine if the user enters or leaves the target area.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Applicant: Tinoq Inc.Inventors: Daxiao YU, Yang SUN, Chan-Soo Hwang

Publication number: 20200280863Abstract: Presented are Ergodic Spectrum Management (ESM) systems and methods that take advantage of the presence of statistical consistencies (“ergodicity”) and correlations, such as a wireless network's average dimensional consistencies of probability distributions (in time, space, and frequency) of channel gains, to adaptively learn qualitative and quantitative network/user behavior; estimate or predict network performance; and guide locally implemented radio resource management (RRM) decisions of wireless multi-user transmissions in a manner such as to reduce interference and improve latency; connection stability; efficiency; and overall wireless performance. ESM also enhances end-users' Quality of Experience (QoE) by allowing movement across bands and regions as users/devices roam. A remote-cloud-based resource management implementation of ESM's Learn-ed Resource Managers (LRMs) removes the need for heavy edge-computing close to radio cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: September 3, 2020Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: John M.
