Patents by Inventor Hsiang-Chin HSIEH

Hsiang-Chin HSIEH 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: 9742501
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical communication system and an optical transmission device. By changing the ratio between the first segment and the segment or/and the amplitude of the second segment, the digital signal is modulated and transmitted in the form of an optical signal. Then a solar panel, which is used as the receiver for the optical signal, can receive the optical signal and give directly the one or more digital signal without demodulation. Thereby, the costs of using a solar panel as the optical receiver may be reduced and the transmission rate may be enhanced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: Institute for Information Industry

  • Publication number: 20160157262
    Abstract: A long term evolution (LTE) base station and wireless resource scheduling method thereof are provided. The LTE base station receives a transmission period, a tolerable time shift, a start transmission time instant, and a required resource amount from each of a plurality of machine type communication apparatuses. The LTE base station decides a scheduling time length according to the transmission periods, decides a scheduling interval according to a start scheduling time instant and the scheduling time length, decides at least one transmission time instant for each machine type communication apparatus according to the transmission periods, the tolerable time shifts, the start transmission time instants, and the required resource amounts, and transmits each of the at least one transmission time instant to the corresponding machine type communication apparatus so that each of the machine type communication apparatus transmits data according to the corresponding at least one transmission time instant.

  • Patent number: 9098994
    Abstract: An electric meter (EM) network system, an EM node and a broadcasting method thereof are provided. The EM node, which is electrically connected to a power supply loop, stores a layer number and a total layer number. When the power supply loop recovers from a power disconnect condition to a power supplying condition, the EM node obtains a waiting time according to a difference value between the layer number and the total layer number, and broadcasts a route message after the waiting time.
