Patents by Inventor LOÏC HUBERT

LOÏC HUBERT has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11936461
    Abstract: A method for wireless communication between a plurality of transmitter devices and at least one receiver device using a repeater device on the surface of the Earth. Messages transmitted by transmitter devices and received by the repeater device are collected by the repeater during a collection window. The messages received during the collection window are retransmitted to the receiver device by the repeater device. The messages received during the collection window are retransmitted so that at least two messages received non-simultaneously are retransmitted simultaneously to the receiver device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11835638
    Abstract: A method for geolocating a terminal of a wireless communication system. The terminal includes a positioning device for obtaining a precise geographical position of the terminal. An access network of the communication system estimates an approximate geographical position of the terminal. In order to limit the size of the messages exchanged between the terminal and the access network, only a truncated part of the information about the precise geographical position of the terminal is transmitted by the terminal to the access network. The access network determines the precise geographical position of the terminal by combining the truncated information received from the terminal with the approximate geographical position estimated by the access network.

  • Patent number: 11705961
    Abstract: A method for achieving wireless communication between a transmitter and a receiver via a repeater device. The value of a first physical property of a message received from the transmitter is measured by the repeater device. The value of a second physical property to be used for the retransmission of the message is determined by the repeater device depending on the value of the first physical property measured for the received message. The message is retransmitted to the receiver by the repeater device using the determined value of the second physical property.

  • Patent number: 11438726
    Abstract: A method for geolocating a terminal of a wireless communication system. The terminal receiving a message transmitted by a transmitting device of interest. An ambiguous item of identification information is obtained from the transmitting device of interest. The terminal transmitting to the access network a message including the ambiguous item of identification information from the transmitting device of interest. The access network estimating an approximate geographical position of the terminal. The transmitting device of interest is identified in a table storing a list of transmitting device identifiers and the respective geographical positions of the transmitting devices. The precise geographical position of the terminal is estimated according to the geographical position of said transmitting device of interest.

  • Patent number: 10454730
    Abstract: A method allowing a receiver device of a wireless communication system to receive a useful signal emitted by an emitter device. The useful signal corresponding to a signal, the phase or frequency of which is modulated by a sequence of two-state symbols corresponding to a sequence of binary data. A temporal envelope of the useful signal is detected and compared to a preset threshold value. Transitions between consecutive useful-signal symbols are detected, on the basis of the result of the comparison. A sequence of binary data is extracted from the useful signal depending on the detected transitions.
