Geoff Sarney has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9686739
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of joining/re-joining a first micro-mesh for a mesh node. The method includes self-evaluating a mesh capability and a gateway capability of the mesh node itself; searching for a nearby dynamic gateway node and determining whether the nearby dynamic gateway node is found; calculating cellular RF criteria and determining whether the cellular RF criteria are met when the nearby dynamic gateway node is found; and joining or re-joining the first micro-mesh when the cellular RF criteria are not met.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9596613
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of establishing a SACM network is disclosed. The method comprises deploying a plurality of mesh nodes, wherein each of mesh nodes having a mesh node capability to communicate with the other mesh nodes as well as a gateway capability to provide an access to a service network, wherein the service network provides a wireless communication service; establishing a plurality of links between the mesh nodes, each of the links connecting two of the mesh nodes; searching and selecting a plurality of dynamic gateway nodes from the plurality of the mesh nodes and establishing a plurality of connections between the dynamic gateway nodes and the service network and performing routing and path optimizing to find optimal route paths for all the mesh nodes to access the service network.
