Patent number: 8831625Abstract: A coexistence data provider in a system for allocating spectrum to spectrum user devices includes an interface configured to receive inputs of available spectrum information, and to receive a plurality of device coexistence data reports that pertain to spectrum usage of the spectrum user devices. A controller is configured to execute a coexistence data application that is stored in a memory and, by execution of the coexistence data application, the coexistence data provider is configured to combine the available spectrum information and the device coexistence data reports to generate a network coexistence report that is indicative of spectrum usage within the one or more networks. Based on the network coexistence report, the coexistence data provider offers spectrum that provides enhanced user device performance. Spectrum user devices also can receive and analyze the network coexistence report, and retune to spectrum that provides enhanced user device performance.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Spectrum Bridge, Inc.Inventors: Don Joslyn, Mario A.

Patent number: 8804680Abstract: Systems and methods of efficiently providing network access for a portable electronic device while moderating power consumption are described. The electronic device may have a cellular radio and a network radio for communicating with an alternative network. In a default state, the electronic device may carry out communications using the cellular radio, and the network radio may be in an off state. Periodically, the electronic device may determine if the electronic device has moved. If so, a location of the electronic device may be determined and a check may be carried out to determine if the electronic device is in range of an available alternative network. If the electronic device is in range of an available alternative network, the network radio may be turned on and an attempt to connect to the alternative network may be made.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Spectrum Bridge, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey C.

Publication number: 20120110643Abstract: Network access for a secure network is transparently provided to a wireless device using a social networking type of framework. An operator of a secure wireless network may register the network and access credentials for the network with a network access management system. The operator also may configure network access settings, such as designating a sharing level, that permits wireless devices meeting access criteria for the sharing level to use the network. Electronic devices belonging to social media contacts, such as family members and friends, may be associated with the registered network. When the associated devices or other qualifying devices are within communication range of the network, a client function in the device may coordinate with the network access management system to provide network access to the devices. The coordination may take place through a network different than the secure network, such as a cellular network to which the electronic device has subscription access.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Inventors: Jeffrey C.

Publication number: 20120088454Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and using a connectivity option that has lower power consumption in the electronic device than another, typically default, connectivity option. The mobile device may scan for connectivity options and communicate those options to a network access management system. The management system may, in turn, identify which option may reduce power consumption by the electronic device and communicate that option to the mobile device. It is contemplated that the mobile device may not have credentials for using the option that reduces power consumption by the electronic device. Therefore, access credentials may be supplied by the management system to enable the electronic device to use the option.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2010Publication date: April 12, 2012Inventors: Peter Stanforth, Hrishikesh Gossain, Manish Shukla, Mario Camchong
