Patent number: 11910201Abstract: A customer location is identified that can be served by a base-station in a fixed wireless communication system. Embodiments of the invention generate a viewshed for an antenna of the base-station, compute an area of a rooftop at the customer location that is included in the generated viewshed, and identify the customer location as able to be served, or not, by the base-station, based on the area of the rooftop at the customer location that is included in the generated viewshed. Further, a parcel of land on which to install a fixed wireless communication base-station can be identified. Each candidate base-station parcel of land in a list (“candidate base-station locations”) is evaluated and ranked. An evaluated candidate base-station location having a particular ranking is selected as the location on which to install the base-station.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Sail Internet, Inc.Inventors: Georgios Ginis, Amitkumar Mahadevan, Xia (Sharon) Wan, Kevin D.

Patent number: 11477081Abstract: Methods, techniques, computer program products, apparatus, devices, etc., used in connection with DSL Management Interfaces, significantly improve the management capabilities of a DSL network and/or improve testing relating to DSL equipment and services by permitting better control and operation of a DSL system, including implementation of timestamping for more accurate measurement, monitoring and control of a system. Timestamping further allows customized data collection techniques, where a DSL line can be measured or monitored at intervals whose frequency depends on the line's stability. Moreover, data parameter read and control parameter write operations are presented in conjunction with the use of timestamping. Also, control and operation of a DSL system is enhanced by implementing bit-loading that minimizes, eliminates or otherwise mitigates the amount by which the SNR margin per tone exceeds a maximum SNR margin quantity, where such bit-loading can be selected through an appropriate interface.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: John Cioffi, Wonjong Rhee, Sumanth Jagannathan, Peter Joshua Silverman, Mehdi Mohseni, Georgios Ginis

Publication number: 20210352502Abstract: Evaluating a radio frequency for user in a selected cell-area in a wireless network that is or will be served by a base-station operating at the radio frequency involves identifying user equipment within the selected cell-area that are or can be served by the base-station, identifying potentially interfering devices operating at the same radio frequency as the base-station, and estimating an interference impact from the identified potentially interfering devices to communication between the base-station and the identified user equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Georgios Ginis, Kevin Dean Fisher

Publication number: 20210319375Abstract: A chum predictor predicts whether a customer is likely to chum. The chum predictor is built and trained from data collected from mul-tiple customers. The data can include static configuration data and dynamic measured data. A chum predictor builder generates multiple customer in-stances and processes the instances based on the collected data, and based on separating the instances into one or more training subsets. Based on the pro-cessing, the builder generates and saves a chum predictor. The chum predictor can access data for a customer and generate a customer instancance and generates a chum likelihood score. Based on a chum type, the chum predictor system can generate preventive action for the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Applicant: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Jeonghun Noh, Wooyul Lee, Manish AMDE, Georgios GINIS, Youngsik Kim

Patent number: 11057137Abstract: Time division duplex transmission over copper physical channels is managed. In one example, upstream time slots for upstream transmission in a first physical channel are scheduled. Downstream time slots for downstream transmission in a second physical channel are scheduled. Transmission in the upstream time slots is substantially not simultaneous with transmission in the downstream time slots.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: ASSIA SPE, LLCInventors: Kenneth Kerpez, Georgios Ginis, Marc Goldburg, Ardavan Maleki Tehrani

Patent number: 10938427Abstract: Control of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received is implemented using a variety of methods and systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is implemented where the signals are affected by interference during transmission and each of the communication lines has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. A model is created of the interference characteristics due to the signals carried on the communication lines. Interference characteristics for a line are determined based on the model and actual signals carried on other communication lines different from the line for which the characteristics are being determined. Actual interference is compensated for on the communication line using the determined interference characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Georgios Ginis, Wei Yu, Chaohuang Zeng, John M.
