  • Publication number: 20240080778
    Abstract: An enhanced network environment is provided by configuring an indoor access point device in a region subject to AFC constraints to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band. The access point device requires configuration so as not to interfere with incumbent 6 GHz wireless infrastructures or systems. The configuring includes obtaining location information using Wi-Fi Location functionality to obtain one or more associated range measurements so as to determine an accurate access point device location. This location can then be sent as part of an AFC request message to an AFS management system to obtain a power allowance. Once configured, the access point device can be registered with the AFC resource and can operate at a power allowance that can be higher than the power allowance associated with the standard power or low power indoor.

  • Patent number: 11917420
    Abstract: An enhanced network environment is provided by provisioning a device to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band. The device requires provisioning so as not to interfere with legacy systems. The provisioning requires that the two-dimensional location of the device be obtained and sent to a topographical mapping network resource to obtain an accurate ground location for the terrain. The elevation is then modified based on an actual height from ground level of the device. The location of the device can then be sent to an automated frequency controller (AFC) resource to obtain an equivalent isotropically radiated power mask that can be used to provision the device so that the device can operate in the 6 GHz frequency band without causing interference with any other systems. Once provisioned, the device can be registered with the AFC resource.

  • Patent number: 11910204
    Abstract: An enhanced network environment is provided by provisioning a device to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band. The device requires provisioning so as not to interfere with legacy systems. The provisioning includes obtaining exterior multiple fixed power measurements to obtain a virtualized location and a virtualized power level. The elevation is then modified based on an actual height from ground level of the device. The location of the device and a virtualized equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) can then be sent to an automated frequency controller (AFC) resource to obtain an EIRP mask that can be used to provision the device so that the device can operate in the 6 GHz frequency band without causing interference with any other systems. Once provisioned, the device can be registered with the AFC resource.

  • Publication number: 20230275843
    Abstract: Systems and methods for relaying a plurality of data packets to and from a subscriber over an access network that imparts a variable latency of one packet relative to other packets. The latency of each packet is controlled so as to increase the average latency experienced by the plurality of packets and decrease the variance of the respective latencies experienced by each of the packets.

  • Publication number: 20220400530
    Abstract: A network device comprises a memory, a radio system, a control line, and a processor. The radio system can be controllably configured to operate in a first channel state or a second channel state. The first channel state enables transmission of first client device reception data on a first channel and reception of first client device transmission data on the first channel. The second channel state enables transmission of second client device reception data on a second channel and reception of second client device transmission data on the second channel. The control line is arranged to provide a control signal to the radio system so as to place the radio system in either the first channel state or the second channel state.

  • Patent number: 9584798
    Abstract: In a method of managing 3D video stream, 3D video stream is output to a connected display. The connected display displays the 3D video stream after a delay associated with the connected display. A timing offset is determined based on the delay. The timing offset is operable to be used to synchronize shutter operations of at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream. A shutter control signal based on a frame start indication from the 3D video stream is transmitted. The frame start indication is operable to be used to determine a frame rate of the 3D video stream, and the shutter control signal is operable to be used to maintain synchronization of the shutter operations of the at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream at the connected display.
