Patent number: 7457295Abstract: A spectral reuse transceiver-based communication system conducts communications between a master site and a plurality of remote sites using a selected portion of a communication bandwidth containing a plurality of sub-bandwidth channels. Each remote site transceiver monitors the communication bandwidth for activity on the sub-bandwidth channels, and informs a master site transceiver which sub-bandwidth communication channels are absent communication activity and therefore constitute clear channels. The master site transceiver compiles an aggregate list of clear channels from all the remote sites and then broadcasts the aggregate list to the remote sites. The master site and a remote site then conduct communications therebetween by frequency-hopping and/or orthogonal frequency multiplexing among the clear channels using an a priori known PN sequence.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2003Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Adapt4 LLCInventors: R.

Patent number: 7280555Abstract: A system and method for achieving enhanced CSMA/CA which improves channel availability and quality of service (QoS) in a wireless communications network. The system and method establish channels to enable communication between nodes in a communication network, based on the relationship between the average time length of message data packets and the time lengths of the request to send and clear to send messages. A node of the communication network places a data packet at a location in a queue for retransmission based on a type of information contained in the data packet if the destination node for which the data packet is intended is unable to receive the data packet. The location in the queue is indicative of a duration of time that the node will delay before attempting to resend the data packet to the destination node.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: MeshNetworks, Inc.Inventors: Peter J. Stanforth, Larry W. Koos, Eric A. Whitehill

Patent number: 6925069Abstract: A wireless local area network (LAN) for data communications. The wireless LAN includes a packet hopping access terminal (PHAST) and a packet hopping gateway (PHG). The PHAST has a first transceiver for wirelessly communicating with a client device, and a second transceiver for wirelessly receiving data packets addressed to the client device and for wirelessly transmitting data packets received from the client device in accordance with a packet hopping protocol. The PHG has a transceiver for wirelessly receiving the data packets transmitted by the PHAST and for transmitting the data packets addressed to the client device in accordance with the packet hopping protocol, and a network interface for establishing communication with a server.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2002Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: MeshNetworks, Inc.Inventors: William M.
