Patent number: 8457644Abstract: Systems and methods for planning a wireless network are disclosed. Attributes of the wireless network may be determined from minimal information. For instance, based on a specified coverage area and network usage information, and without operating frequency information, base station equipment models may be determined. An estimated number of base stations to deploy the network also may be determined. Also, a geographic extent of the network for regulatory compliance and acquisition of spectrum use rights may be determined.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Spectrum Bridge Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey C. Schmidt, Michelle C. Palmer, Joseph M. Hamilla

Patent number: 7561884Abstract: A system and method for automated visual tracking of assets (302), such as personnel or vehicles, using location measurements and ad-hoc routing algorithms employed in a wireless multihopping communication network (100). The system and method comprise a plurality of imaging devices (300) that are deployed about an area and provide image information to at least one workstation (304) that displays the images based on the image information. In particular, as an asset (302) moves, the workstation (304) switches from displaying an image of the asset (302) captured by an imaging device (300) away from which the asset (302) is moving to displaying an image of the asset (302) captured by an imaging device (300) toward which the asset (302) is moving.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: MeshNetworks, Inc.Inventor: Joseph M.

Patent number: 7209725Abstract: A method and system for directly down-converting FM signals to demodulated baseband information signals that can be used to directly down-convert analog FM signals and digital FM signals to demodulated baseband information signals. In an embodiment, the method includes aliasing an FM signal at an aliasing rate substantially equal to the frequency of the FM signal or substantially equal to a sub-harmonic thereof; adjusting the aliasing rate in accordance with frequency changes on the FM signal to maintain the aliasing rate substantially equal to the frequency of the FM signal, and outputting a demodulated baseband information signal. The method optionally includes compensating for phase delays and/or other characteristics of the loop in order to maintain bandwidth and stability for the loop.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2000Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: ParkerVision, IncInventors: David F.
