Ludovic Champion 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: 10425362
    Abstract: A wireless communication system, comprising one or several nodes (A) equipped by a wireless radio interface that is adapted for transmitting digital messages modulated in the form of a series of frequency chirps, for example, LoRa-modulated radio signals. The message is received simultaneously by several base stations (C, D, E), and a server (S) is arranged for dividing the frames by the diverse stations and recombining a corrected frame for the intended recipient (B) based on error codes. Advantageously, the base stations being adapt their timing error compensation strategy when the error codes indicate a corruption of the message.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9794095
    Abstract: A gateway device having a baseband processor for processing a plurality signals carrying a digital information modulated in the form of chirp signal, the chirp signals being either base chirps, for which the frequency changes from an initial instant to a final instant according to a predetermined base chirp function or modulated chirps, whose instantaneous frequencies vary according to one of a plurality of a functions that differ from said base chirp function, characterized in that the gateway device is arranged for simultaneously demodulating a plurality of signals having received at a same frequency and exhibiting different bitrates.
