  • System and method for inmarsat capacity expansion and control
    Patent number: 7068971
    Abstract: The Inmarsat Capacity Expansion invention, in an embodiment to retrofit a standard Inmarsat-B mobile earth station (MES), combines standard MES equipment and functionality with an assembly containing a diplexer/switch and a digital signal processor, a second SCPC modem that has configurable modulation and error correction capabilities, control signals and paths, and related management and control software and hardware to enable the transmission and reception of standard service types and higher data rate services.
    Type: Grant

  • Bit synchronizer and internetworking system and method
    Publication number: 20020031126
    Abstract: A system for bit synchronous communications over packet networks with adverse delay conditions is provided by sequencing in association with a local terminal fixed-sized payloads from an input bitstream and reassembling in association with a remote terminal the received payloads in sequence. Delayed, dropped, duplicated, and mis-sequenced packets are repaired through the use of a smoothing buffer associated with the remote terminal.
