Patent number: 11924137Abstract: A method and system for minimizing the control overhead in a multi-carrier wireless communication network that utilizes a time-frequency resource is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more zones in the time-frequency resource are designated for particular applications, such as a zone dedicated for voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications. By grouping applications of a similar type together within a zone, a reduction in the number of bits necessary for mapping a packet stream to a portion of the time-frequency resource can be achieved. In some embodiments, modular coding schemes associated with the packet streams may be selected that further reduce the amount of necessary control information. In some embodiments, packets may be classified for transmission in accordance with application type, QoS parameters, and other properties. In some embodiments, improved control messages may be constructed to facilitate the control process and minimize associated overhead.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Neo Wireless LLCInventors: Xiaodong Li, Haiming Huang, Titus Lo, Ruifeng Wang

Publication number: 20230378997Abstract: In a broadband wireless communication system, a spread spectrum signal is intentionally overlapped with an OFDM signal, in a time domain, a frequency domain, or both. The OFDM signal, which inherently has a high spectral efficiency, is used for carrying broadband data or control information. The spread spectrum signal, which is designed to have a high spread gain for overcoming severe interference, is used for facilitating system functions such as initial random access, channel probing, or short messaging. Methods and techniques are devised to ensure that the mutual interference between the overlapped signals is minimized to have insignificant impact on either signal and that both signals are detectable with expected performance by a receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Neo Wireless LLCInventors: Xiaodong Li, Titus Lo, Kemin Li, Haiming Huang

Patent number: 11792185Abstract: An app installed on a smart device is caused to retrieve from a cloud-server a one-time use code. The one-time use code is then provided to a controllable device and the controllable device is caused to provide the one-time use code back to the smart device. The app causes the one-time use code provided back to the smart device by the controllable device to be authenticated. In response to the one-time use code being authenticated, the controllable device is bound to the app whereupon the controllable device is controllable through use of the app.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Allen Yuh, Haiming Huang, Arsham Hatambeiki, Nicu Ahmadi
