Patent number: 11477804Abstract: Spectral efficiency for a 5G network, or other next generation networks, can be increased via a resource scheduler of a network node. The resource scheduler can receive a first signal from a mobile device of a wireless network. The first signal can comprise resource request data representative of a first request for a resource of the wireless network. In response to receiving the first signal, the resource scheduler can transmit a second signal to the mobile device via a network device of the wireless network, wherein the second signal can comprise buffer status request data. The scheduler can receive a third signal from the mobile device, wherein the third signal can comprise buffer status data associated with the buffer, and based on comparing bandwidth data to the buffer status data, the scheduler can assign the resource channel to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Douglas Duet, Yuang Lou, George Hirvela

Patent number: 8229506Abstract: An array antenna is utilized to enhance the adaptive acquisition capability of a communication connection with one or more wireless subscribers. Subscribers who are located outside the omnidirectional range of the array antenna are acquired by using adaptive beamforming techniques to create an acquisition beam dedicated to acquiring new connections with wireless subscribers. The acquisition beam may sweep through the coverage of the array antenna seeking subscribers who lie beyond the omni range of the array antenna, but fall within the acquisition range using adaptive beamforming.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Douglas Duet, Yuang Lou

Patent number: 8149802Abstract: A fixed broadband wireless data access service providing shared wide-band packet-switched data transport for high speed data access in areas where conventional ADSL service and fiber optic service are unavailable. The wireless data access service is a point-to-multipoint cellular-type network that connects customers to data service providers through the ATM backbone of an existing network. Customers connect to the ATM backbone and data service provider through a cellular grid in which a wireless base station in each cell communicates with the individual customer wireless equipment within its cell site coverage area. The base stations are connected to an ATM backbone switch through wireless and wireline backhaul links. The upstream and downstream bandwidths of the wireless broadband network are engineered in various symmetric and asymmetric configurations to provide a shared packet-switched connection that emulates an uninterrupted, direct wireline ADSL connection.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2007Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventors: Yuang Lou, Douglas Duet, Vijay Perumbeti, David Payne
