Patent number: 11929828Abstract: Systems and methods for differentiated application of an Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) to enhance link performance in satellite communication systems are disclosed. A system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to dynamically compute bandwidth capacity of a terminal from a plurality of terminals. Based on the computed bandwidth capacity of the terminal, the processor may automatically determine a ModCod to be applied for transmission to or from the terminal to optimize bit error rate (BER) performance. The to processor may determine the ModCod using an ACM technique. For the plurality of terminals, the processor may dynamically determine aggregate bandwidth availability and congestion within the ACM technique to optimize sharing of available bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: George Joseph Choquette, John Leonard Border

Patent number: 11870865Abstract: An Encrypted Transport Proxy Backbone Protocol module is configured to set up ET Proxy Backbone connections with another distributed proxy device with each ET Proxy Backbone connection including multiple ET Proxy Backbone channels for transmitting ET proxy packets having different QoS classes. Each ET Proxy Backbone channel includes a separate queue. The ET Proxy Backbone Protocol module is also configured to schedule transmissions of the ET proxy packets from each respective queue; multiplex the ET proxy packets from each respective queue via the associated ET Proxy Backbone channel; perform local recovery of network impairments over the access network and perform congestion control to prevent packets from client devices and web servers from causing network congestion to the access network.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Chi-Jiun Su, John Leonard Border, Robert James Torres, Bhavit Jogeshkumar Shah

Publication number: 20230412262Abstract: Systems and methods for aligning timing of an inroute transmission of a terminal with a gateway are disclosed. A system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to perform a random estimation of location pertaining to a time-division multiple access (TDMA) frame boundary of a gateway. Based on an asynchronous scrambled coded multiple access (ASCMA) technique, the system may transmit ASCMA group burst packets including precise timing feedback request for the gateway. The system may receive a feedback from the gateway, in response to the precise timing feedback request. The processor may determine an adjustment for aligning timing of an inroute transmission of the terminal with respect to the TDMA frame boundary of the gateway. The system may apply the adjustment to synchronize the timing of the inroute transmission of the terminal with the gateway.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventor: John Leonard BORDER

Publication number: 20230379398Abstract: An Encrypted Transport (ET) proxy module is configured to receive incoming ET proxy packets from an ET proxy backbone module and transmit outgoing ET proxy packets to the ET proxy backbone module. The ET proxy module is also configured to set up an HTTP tunnel with an ET proxy client of the client device or with an ET proxy at a web server for receiving incoming UDP payloads from the client device or web server and transmitting outgoing UDP payloads to the client device or web server. The ET proxy module is also configured to receive prioritization preferences from client devices or web servers pertaining to the UDP payloads indicating preferred quality-of-service (QoS) classes for the UDP payloads, and to schedule transmission of the outgoing UDP payloads via the HTTP tunnel based on QoS classes of the outgoing UPD payloads.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: Chi-Jiun SU, John Leonard BORDER, Robert James TORRES, Bhavit Jogeshkumar SHAH

Publication number: 20230370159Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating an inroute transmission of data are disclosed. A system may include a processor and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to receive information pertaining to a bandwidth capacity of a communication channel for an inroute transmission of data from a terminal of a plurality of terminals. The processor may determine, based on the received information and using an asynchronous scrambled coded multiple access (ASCMA) technique, a bandwidth allocation for the inroute transmission of data.

Publication number: 20220209853Abstract: Dynamic in-route reconfiguration in a satellite network includes receiving at least one of transmit power capability and demand requirements from one or more active satellite terminals of the satellite network, determining a resulting in-route configuration during operation of the satellite network based on the received at least one of transmit power capability and demand requirements, comparing the determined resulting in-route configuration to a current in-route configuration. When the determined resulting in-route configuration is different from the current in-route configuration, establishing the determined resulting in-route configuration as the current in-route configuration and storing the established current in-route configuration in a dynamic in-route reconfiguration manager, and transmitting the established current in-route configuration to the one or more active satellite terminals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Applicant: Hughes Network Systems, LLCInventors: John Leonard BORDER, Murali REGUNATHAN, Jayant SONREXA, Robert James TORRES

Patent number: 11329875Abstract: A method of switching from a first gateway within a plurality of first gateways to a second gateway in a network includes precaching configuration information on the second gateway, that is within the first gateways, prior to switch-over to the second gateway. The first gateway from which the second gateway is being switched is identified. The second gateway is configured in accordance with the configuration of the first gateway based on the precached configuration information prior to the switch-over to the second gateway. Data traffic from data applications using the network is replicated and sent to the first gateway and the second gateway. Bandwidths allocated to terminals in the network are frozen in association with the switch-over to the second gateway. The bandwidths allocated to the terminals in the network are unfrozen based at least in part on an indication of completion of the switch-over to the second gateway.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: David Whitefield, Robert James Torres, John Leonard Border, David Alan Roos, Stanley Edward Kay

Patent number: 10397179Abstract: Methods and systems for providing sourcing Internet access requests from ISP subscribers serviced by a gateway not physically located near the subscribers. As the localization needs of all subscribers are not necessarily the same, the gateway determines an appropriate source IP address to use to ensure that the IP protocol localization features work efficiently. In addition, the gateway can help enforce rules related to the governing law of the geographic area of the subscriber and/or rules based on the content providers licensing. Through determination of the context of a request, the gateway may also determine whether localized sourcing of a request is necessary based on the type of content being requested.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: George Choquette, Robert James Torres, Nagesh Javali, John Leonard Border, Gregory Presbury, Ramakrishnan Jayant
