Patent number: 11546126Abstract: Method and systems are provided for receiving and transmitting signals over a time division duplex communication path (the “Path”). Operations may include sending a first signal via an uplink portion of the Path, and receiving a second signal via a downlink portion of the Path. The Path operates over a first band having a first frequency range and during a communication time including an uplink period (TU) and a downlink period (TD). The uplink portion is sent during the uplink period, uses a first portion of the first frequency range and is disposed between a first uplink guard band portion and a second uplink guard band portion. The guard bands are allocated from a second portion and a third portion of the first band. The first band is disposed between a second band, providing a second communication path, and a third band providing an FDD communication path.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: DBSD CorporationInventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters

Patent number: 11153062Abstract: One or more embodiments of devices, systems and method are provided for receiving and transmitting signals over a time division duplex (TDD) communication path. Signals are received over the TDD communication path via a first portion of a first frequency band. A method may include sending a time division duplex (TDD) signal via an uplink portion of a TDD communication path and receiving a TDD signal via a downlink portion of the TDD communication path. The uplink portion arises over an uplink period and the downlink portion arises over a downlink period. The TDD communication path is disposed between and mutually exclusive of a broadcast communication path and an FDD communication path. The uplink portion of the TDD communication path is separated from the broadcast communication path by an uplink guard band. The downlink portion of the TDD communication path may be contiguous with the broadcast communication path.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: DBSD CorporationInventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters

Patent number: 10263756Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes receiving and transmitting signals over a time division duplex (TDD) communication path. Signals are sent over the TDD communication path via a first portion and are received via a second portion of a first frequency band, wherein the first portion uses a smaller spectrum bandwidth than the second portion. The first frequency band is adjacent to a second frequency band and to a third frequency band. The second frequency band includes a first temporally-asymmetric TDD communication path having a third portion and a fourth portion. The third frequency band includes a second temporally-asymmetric TDD communication path having a fifth portion and a sixth portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: DISH Network CorporationInventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters

Patent number: 9923709Abstract: A method according to an embodiment of the invention includes receiving and transmitting signals over an asymmetric time division duplex (TDD) communication path. Signals are sent over the asymmetric TDD communication path via a first portion of a first frequency band. The first frequency band is adjacent to a second frequency band and to a third frequency band. The first frequency band is different from the second frequency band and from the third frequency band. A synchronous time division duplex (TDD) communication path can be operable in the second frequency band. A frequency division duplex (FDD) communication path can be operable in the third frequency band. Signals are received over the asymmetric TDD communication path via a second portion of the first frequency band that is different from the first portion of the first frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: DISH Network CorporationInventors: Mariam Sorond, Peter Corea, Doug Hyslop, Tom Peters
