Patent number: 11800498Abstract: A communication management resource (such as disposed at a network management node or other location) allocates bandwidth in a physical communication link to convey communication data associated with first customer premises equipment. In one implementation, the allocated bandwidth in the physical communication link is partitioned in accordance with wireless bandwidth supported by the first customer premises equipment. For example, in one embodiment, the allocated bandwidth of the physical communication link is mapped to convey corresponding data communicated over wireless bandwidth used by the first customer premises equipment. The communication management resource establishes a control channel over the physical communication link between the network management node and the first customer premises equipment. Via the control channel, the communication management resource then transmits a command over the control channel from the network management node to the first customer premises equipment.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Elliott D. Hoole, Diwelawatte P. Jayawardene, Manish Jindal

Patent number: 11322822Abstract: An antenna overlay system includes antenna hardware, a communication link, and electronic circuitry disposed on a substrate. The communication link couples the electronic circuitry to the antenna hardware. During operation, the electronic circuitry in communication with the antenna hardware is operable to control transmission and reception of wireless signals in a wireless region. An adhesive layer disposed on a surface of the substrate couples the substrate to an object such as a window. In one arrangement, the window is a low-E glass windowpane that substantially attenuates wireless signals from being received by communication equipment in a building in which the windowpane is installed. The antenna overlay system provides enhanced RF signal reception and transmission.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Charter Communications Operating, LLCInventors: Pratik Das, Diwelawatte P. Jayawardene, Elliott D. Hoole, Joshua N. Sanders, Manish Jindal

Patent number: 8175603Abstract: A wireless network for addressing the unavailability of airlink connection resources (“resources”) is disclosed. A plurality of smaller cells are dynamically created within the coverage boundary of a macrocell, wherein each smaller cell is capable of providing the same resources available from the macrocell. The network further addresses the inefficient “push” schema for handover of services from one node to another. Nodes within each of the plurality of smaller cells continuously scan other nodes to measure resources used by the other nodes for handover using a “pull” schema. The measurement tells a node if it is capable of providing at least a minimum grade of service, and if so, the node informs the subscriber device. If the measurement is mutually valid, the current node initiates the handover to the node. After the handover, the new node continues to provide the at least minimum grade of service.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Eden Rock Communications, LLCInventor: Elliott D Hoole

Publication number: 20080176554Abstract: A management system includes a base station controller that uses performance metrics received from one or more associated base stations and/or from other user devices along with service delivery rules to determine when portions of data of a first data transfer are to be sent and/or at what rate the data portions are to be sent from a first base station servicing a first communication cell to a first user device located in the first communication cell thereby seeking to accomplish network availability goals for the first use device receiving the first data transfer, to accomplish network availability goals for other user devices also serviced in the first communication cell by the first base station, and/or to accomplish network availability goals for other user devices serviced in other communication cells by other base stations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2008Publication date: July 24, 2008Applicant: MEDIACAST, LLCInventors: David B.

Patent number: 6175555Abstract: In a time division duplex (TDD) system, compensation measurements are made for the transmission circuitry during the receive portion of the TDD cycle and compensation measurements are made for the receive circuitry during the transmit portion of the TDD cycle. A base station has multiple antennas for spatial, as well as spectral, spreading and despreading of discrete multitone spread spectrum (DMT-SS) communications. Each antenna has its own transmission path components and receive path components. The transmit amplifier, for example, in the transmit path and the receive amplifier, for example, in the receive path tend to drift in their characteristics over time. The invention manages the sequential testing of each respective transmission path and receive path for each antenna. The invention measures the drift of the transmit path components and the receive path components and prepares compensating weights to be applied to signals processed in each path.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1998Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: AT&T Wireless Svcs.
