  • Publication number: 20220078867
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for flexible carrier uplink and downlink pairing for 4G, 5G and future networks. Downlink and uplink channels can be assigned to different bands that are not contiguous or bands that have different bandwidths. This enables base station devices to have the flexibility to assign uplink and downlink communications to bands that have lower load and thus improve the efficiency and throughput of the communication link for both uplink and downlink. The base station device can also assign uplink and downlink pairing in order to minimize passive intermodulation interference. Passive intermodulation interference from a transmission can cause interference in bands near the transmission band, and so the base station device can assign downlink and uplink bands that are separate from each other in order to reduce the passive intermodulation interference.

  • Patent number: 8195170
    Abstract: A search ring generation system comprises a receiver component that receives indicia that can be utilized to identify a proposed cell site. An implementation component automatically creates a search ring with respect to the proposed cell site. A search ring as used herein is defined as a document that formally begins an approval process for proposed wireless cell sites. In addition, pertinent information such as justification plots, GIS and satellite maps, and cell site approval information of an organization can be compiled, tracked, and/or incorporated into a summary report for the search ring. As a result, a query for a particular search ring can identify not only the cell site but the additional pertinent information as well.

  • Patent number: 5385397
    Abstract: A stackable storage rack receives thin, flat objects such as compact disc cases. The rack includes a turntable with radially extending grooves for receiving the objects. The base has portions thereof extending radially outwards beyond the turntable. There is a spindle and bearing for rotatably mounting the turntable on the base. A plurality of elongated rods extend perpendicularly from the top of the base on the portions thereof. There are sockets on the bottom of the base for releasibly receiving tops of rods of another rack. A plurality of racks can thereby be stacked one upon the other.
