Publication number: 20130064076Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide an implementation for a multi-hop wireless backhaul network. These embodiments can advantageously be deployed in dense urban areas and/or co-located with wireless access nodes, such as base-stations of a cellular wireless communication system. Preferably wireless links between constituent network nodes are set-up hierarchically. A basic result of this is that peer-to-peer (child-to-child) communication is generally prohibited and circuits are forced to conform to a topology. The multi-hop wireless backhaul network may be used to carry delay sensitive, high-density last mile circuit traffic over Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) broadband radio links. Moreover, some embodiments of the invention provide a method of path-healing for re-routing of circuit traffic from circuits that have experienced catastrophic failures.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: March 14, 2013Inventors: Shalini Periyalwar, Hang Zhang, Glenn Algie, Peiying Zhu, Robert Matyas, Claude Royer, Bill Gage, James Naden, Alauddin Javed

Patent number: 8385189Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide an implementation for a multi-hop wireless backhaul network, in particular an aggregation node (AGN). The AGN includes a plurality of spatially switched antennas and a transceiver configured to operate on the plurality of spatially switched antennas in a time divisional multiplexing (TDM) fashion to establish active connections with other network nodes in a hierarchical manner. The AGN is further configured to perform a bi-directional relay function for backhaul traffic with the other network nodes using at least one virtual circuit having an allocated bandwidth for delay sensitive traffic. The AGN may serve to aggregate and relay/amplify circuit traffic between network nodes in the up stream and down stream directions. If the AGN is interposed within a circuit between two other nodes, the AGN can switch the circuit traffic between the end-nodes of the circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Shalini Periyalwar, Hang Zhang, Glenn Algie, Peiying Zhu, Robert Matyas, Claude Royer, Bill Gage, James Mark Naden, Alauddin Javed

Patent number: 7970006Abstract: The present invention relates to adaptive interconnect logic, which is adapted to communicate with various types of modules that are plugged into the interconnect logic, and to automatically configure itself to interact with the various modules. For each module interface, the interconnect logic can take on different interface personalities for facilitating communications via the data path. Preferably, the interconnect logic will automatically configure itself to provide the appropriate layer or physical and media access control layers, to effectively communicate with computer premise equipment via the modules. The interface personality will define pin functionality, signal levels, acceptable protocols, and the like. In general, the interconnect logic provides a universal translator between a control system associated with the access equipment and the various modules, which need to be plugged into the access equipment.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2004Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Ciena CorporationInventors: Glenn Algie, Hasler Hayes

Patent number: 7450520Abstract: A network device such as a combination ONU-DSLAM deployed outside the central office includes a wireless transceiver to enable a technician to interface with the network device over a wireless control channel. This allows the technician to monitor, interrogate, and control the network device to ascertain performance of the network or the network device and cause the network device to perform particular desired operations. Additionally, providing a wireless interface enables the network technician to fix specific perceived problems in the network device, such as by uploading new software to the network device, to enable the network device to have increased functionality or more reliable performance. Infra-red, wireless, powerline, or another technology may be used to interface with the network device. The wireless access port may also enable subscribers to access the network, for example by causing the network device to act as an 802.11 hot spot.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Eric Bernier, John Watkins, Glenn Algie
