Patent number: 7813409Abstract: Described are a method and system for secure transmission of data through a network. A subcarrier sequence for data transmission is generated. The subcarrier sequence designates at least one subcarrier from a number of orthogonal subcarriers for each of a plurality of intervals in a time sequence. The subcarrier sequence is provided to a receiver. A data signal that includes the subcarriers identified in the subcarrier sequence modulated according to the data is transmitted from a transmitter to the receiver. For additional security, the subcarrier sequence can be transmitted to the receiver using a communications channel that is separate from the communications channel for the data signal. The data signal is detected at the receiver and demodulated according to the subcarrier sequence.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Herman Kwong, Kah Ming Soh, Bryan Parlor, Aneta Wyrzykowska

Patent number: 7409020Abstract: A technique for filter-enhanced clock synchronization is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized by/as a method for filter-enhanced clock synchronization. The method comprises subjecting a clock error signal to a first exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) filter to generate a first output signal, where the first EWMA filter comprises a first gain element. And the method further comprises subjecting the first output signal to a second EWMA filter to generate a second output signal, where the second EWMA filter comprises a second gain element and the second EWMA filter is coupled with a feedback loop having a delay element and a summing junction.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Aneta Wyrzykowska, Kah Ming Soh, James Aweya, Delfin Montuno, Michel Ouellette

Patent number: 7385470Abstract: A technique for reducing via capacitance is disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for reducing via capacitance. The method may comprise forming, in a circuit board, a via hole that bridges a first trace and a second trace. The method may also comprise forming a channel in a sidewall of the via hole. The method may further comprise filling the via hole and the channel with a conductive material. The method may additionally comprise removing the conductive material from the via hole without depleting the channel, thereby forming an interconnect that couples the first trace to the second trace.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Herman Kwong, Larry Marcanti, Aneta Wyrzykowska, Kah Ming Soh

Patent number: 7366120Abstract: Redundant wireless links in a meshed backhaul network may be used to improve quality of service on the backhaul network by confining knowledge of the duality to the attached network elements. Globally, an aggregate bandwidth of the redundant wireless links may be advertised to allow network level routing to treat the redundant links as a single logical link. At the link level, however, the network elements may differentiate between different types of traffic to provide preferential service to particular types of traffic. By using different physical links within the logical link for particular types of traffic, the quality of service for that type of traffic may be improved by not causing different types of traffic to compete for the same bandwidth. The redundant links may be interfaced using a tower network including a radio accessed router optionally powered using solar power, to isolate the tower network from ground equipment.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2004Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks, LtdInventors: Martin Ridgway Handforth, Guy Duxbury, Pradsad Kodaypak, Herman Kwong, Larry Marcanti, Bryan Parlor, Kah-Ming Soh
