Patent number: 11743769Abstract: A method and a system for concurrently transmitting from an antenna a first sequence of data from a first access node and a second sequence of data from a second access node. An example method includes orthogonally encoding the first and second sequences, including encoding the first sequence with a first binary code to produce a first encoded sequence and encoding the second sequence with a second binary code to produce a second encoded sequence, combining the first encoded sequence and the second encoded sequence to produce a combined encoded sequence, and transmitting the combined encoded sequence from the antenna, with transmitting the combined encoded sequence from the antenna including engaging in a first transmission of the combined encoded sequence from the antenna and engaging in a second transmission of the combined encoded sequence from the same antenna with a phase delay compared with the first transmission.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Sprint Spectrum LLCInventors: Nagi Mansour, Akin Ozozlu, Kafi Hassan

Publication number: 20230156561Abstract: Methods, systems, and access nodes associate a corresponding unique code with multiple access nodes and multiplex data with each of the corresponding unique codes. Further, the multiplexed data is transmitted from each of the multiple access nodes to a donor node. At the donor node, a unique donor code is assigned and is multiplexed with the donor node data. The multiplexed data from the multiple access nodes and the multiplexed donor node data are transmitted in parallel from the donor node to a core network.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Nagi A. MANSOUR, Akin OZOZLU, Kafi HASSAN

Patent number: 11006391Abstract: Systems, methods, and processing nodes for obtaining radio network characteristics associated with network traffic, determining a type of network traffic and/or network session, allocating resources towards a network traffic session based on the type thereof (or type of network traffic), and performing additional network optimization operations based thereon, including but not limited to metering, billing, and service adjustments such as reallocation of resources. Consequently, resource usage patterns of different data types can be made predictable to a network operator, enabling optimal allocation of network resources, adjustments of latency, and thus providing an optimal user experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Marouane Balmakhtar, Arun Rajagopal, Kafi Hassan, Roger Bartlett

Patent number: 10051542Abstract: A computing system will detect when a UE engaged in a voice call hands over from a lower frequency coverage area to a higher frequency coverage area where it is raining, and the computing system will responsively take action to help improve the UE's communication quality, in an effort to help minimize the extent to which voice call quality will degrade as a result of the transition to the higher frequency where it is raining. In particular, per the disclosure, the computing system could respond to this scenario by causing the target base station to use a more robust wireless transmission mode than the source base station was using to serve the UE.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Nagi Mansour, Kevin Hart, Crisanto Ponce, Kafi Hassan

Patent number: 9813341Abstract: Systems and methods are described for routing data traffic based on network conditions. Network conditions for a communication network may be monitored, where the communication network comprises a first access node and a second access node that are in communication using a first communication link and a second communication link. The monitored network conditions may include at least a utilization of the second communication link. It may be determined that the network conditions meet a criteria. A first classification may be assigned to a message when it is determined that the network conditions meet the criteria. The first access node may be instructed to transmit the message over the first communication link based on the first classification when the network conditions meet the criteria and to transmit the message over the second communication link when the network conditions fail to meet the criteria.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Pinal Tailor, Kafi Hassan, Greg Keller

Patent number: 9479906Abstract: A wireless device is determined to be in communication with a first access node is at a location in a coverage area of a first communication network, and it is determined whether the wireless device is in communication with the first access node using a first radio access technology or a second radio access technology. The availability of the first r and the second radio access technologies from the first communication network are determined, and the wireless device is permitted to register with the PTT communication system when the wireless device is in communication with the access node using the first radio access technology. Further, the wireless device is prevented from registering with the PTT communication system when the wireless device is in communication with the access node using the second radio access technology and the first radio access technology is available for the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Kafi Hassan, Nawara Owary, Nagi Mansour

Patent number: 9300587Abstract: A first number of wireless devices in communication with an access node over a first frequency band is determined. A total bandwidth and a spectral efficiency of the first frequency band are determined, and a throughput provided to each of the first number of wireless devices in the communication between the access node and the first number of wireless devices is calculated. Based on the total bandwidth of the first frequency band, the spectral efficiency of the first frequency band, and the throughput provided to each of the first number of wireless devices, a second number of wireless devices permitted to communicate with the access node over the first frequency band is determined. To determine a third number of wireless devices permitted to communicate with the access node over the first frequency band, the throughput provided to each of the first number of wireless devices is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Kafi Hassan, Nawara Omary, Nagi Mansour

Patent number: 9137683Abstract: A first cell is selected as a center cell for testing. Downlink transmissions from a one or more surrounding cells are loaded with test load levels. The downlink transmissions, when loaded with test load levels, include a selected amount(s) of the data portions of their transmission frames carrying orthogonal channel noise (OCN). A performance indicator of the center cell is measured/determined while the surrounding cell(s) are transmitting test load levels and while the center cell is communicating user traffic between the center cell and a first plurality of wireless devices. The test load levels of the surrounding cells may also include user traffic in addition to the OCN.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Nagi Mansour, Emerino J.

Patent number: 8249078Abstract: A method and system to help reduce the impact of inter-node latency in session setup. In accordance with the method, a computer will predict a measure of call setup signaling latency for each of a number of wireless communication devices based on actual latency data for the coverage areas in which the devices are positioned, and the computer will then use the predicted latency measures as a basis to select one or more of the devices to wake up in advance of session initiation. The computer will then send at least one message that triggers wakeup of the selected device(s), so as to help reduce latency in subsequent initiation of a session with the selected device(s). Further, the computer may provide notification to a given device of the predicted latencies determined for other devices, to facilitate presentation of the latency information to a user.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Sprint Spectrum L.P.Inventors: Kafi Hassan, Ramesh Kalathur
