  • Patent number: 11071113
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and method is disclosed for multiband wireless communication. Frequency bands and/or transmission formats are identified as available within a range for wireless communication. The system evaluates signal quality metrics for each frequency band and selects a communication method based on the evaluation. Multiple frequency bands and communication methods can be utilized by the system such that a combination of licensed, unlicensed, semilicensed, and overlapped frequency bands can be simultaneously used for communication. The system monitors communications and can report link performance for adaptive control of the selected communication methods.

  • Patent number: 11045537
    Abstract: A SD-1 strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae from mink and its application are disclosed, wherein the collection number of the Klebsiella pneumoniae is CGMCC NO: 17901. The Klebsiella pneumoniae SD-1 strain can be used for preparing a vaccine. The preferred form of the vaccine is an inactivated vaccine. The SD-1 strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae was screened from minks that died after vaccination. Compared with the current Klebsiella pneumoniae, the strain has mutated and is a new type of pathogenic strain. Vaccine prepared from the SD-1 strain provides better immune protection for minks.

  • Publication number: 20200213900
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for identifying areas of maximum congestion so that small cells can be deployed at those specific sites to obviate network congestion problems. The systems and methods identify several input sources (e.g., call data records, passively collected data using Mobile app, etc.) that can be used to identify data congestion. The systems and methods divide a particular geographic area into smaller tiles of a certain shape (e.g., hexagon, square, etc.). For each of the geographic tiles, the systems and methods sort and group the input data samples based on their associated congestion discriminating characteristics (e.g., timestamps, type of input data, etc.). The systems and methods then compute a congestion index for each geographic tile area based on the grouped data samples. In this manner, the systems and methods identify geographic tile areas and time periods of high congestion.

  • Publication number: 20200067645
    Abstract: Described herein is a radio access provider configured to communicate with wireless access devices over frequency bands. The radio access provider receives service priorities associated with active applications of the wireless communication devices. Based at least in part on the service priorities, the radio access provider selects blocks or channels from one or more of the frequency bands for a radio communication link for each of at least a subset of the wireless communication devices. The selecting may include selecting block or channels from multiple ones of the frequency bands for the radio communication link for at least one of the subset of the wireless communication devices. The selecting may also be based at least in part on signal quality metrics for the frequency bands, cross-correlations of the frequency bands, or power capacities of the wireless communication devices.

  • Patent number: 10498377
    Abstract: A computing system may utilize interfering signals of two or more wireless devices for improving communications involving the two or more wireless devices. These techniques and architectures may allow for improved spectral efficiency that enables a relatively large number of wireless devices to communicate among one another via receivers that share overlapping or adjacent frequencies. Such utilization of interfering signals may help solve a general problem involving, for example, co-channel interference (CCI) arising from densely deployed relatively small wireless communication cells for increasing communication throughput.

  • Patent number: 10499263
    Abstract: A communication cell may receive a request to establish a communication session for delivery to a core network of carrier network, the request originating from a user device connected to the communication cell. A lookup table stored in the communication cell is populated with an association of a session identifier assigned to the communication session and a caller identifier of the user device. The request is placed into an uplink buffer portion of the communication cell that is set aside for the user device. The request is encoded into one or more physical resource blocks reserved for the communication cell by a macrocell, the physical resource blocks being a part of a wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell. The one or more physical resource blocks that include the request from the communication cell are then transmitted to the macrocell for delivery to the core network.
