Patent number: 8345780Abstract: A wireless communication system may include first and second wireless communications devices communicating with one another via a wireless communications link having a settable link characteristic. The first and second wireless communications devices may include respective first and second wireless transceivers and respective first and second controllers coupled thereto. The first controller may be for detecting received interference, for determining a type of the interference from among interference types comprising wideband interference and narrowband interference, and for setting the settable link characteristic to compensate for the interference based upon the interference type.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: David Chauncey, Mitel Kuliner, Elias Theodorou

Patent number: 7974257Abstract: A communications system may include a first wireless communications device communicating based upon a first wireless communications protocol, a second wireless communications device communicating based upon a second wireless communications protocol different from the first wireless communications protocol, and a wireless base station. The wireless base station may communicate with the first wireless communications device and the second wireless communications device based upon a frame structure. The frame structure may be defined by sub-carriers at respective different frequencies and symbols at respective different times. The frame structure may include a frame control header, a first frame portion for communicating with the first wireless communications device based upon the first wireless communications protocol, and a second frame portion for communicating with the second wireless communications device based upon the second wireless communications protocol.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Adrian Boyer, Michael Buddendeck, David Chauncey, Thomas Doherty, Mitel Kuliner

Patent number: 7738471Abstract: A method is provided for processing a packet (300) at an egress end user node (110). The method includes a decoding step and a concurrent writing step. The concurrent writing step is performed subsequent to the decoding step. The decoding step involves decoding a packet having a plurality of headers (306-314). The concurrent writing step involves concurrently writing each of the headers (306-314) to a packet buffer memory (122) and a respective protocol stack layer memory (126-134). More specifically, a MAC layer protocol header (306) is concurrently written to the packet buffer memory and a MAC layer memory (126). An LLC layer protocol header (308) is concurrently written the packet buffer memory and an LLC layer memory (128). A network layer protocol header (310) is concurrently written to the packet buffer memory and a network layer memory (130), and so on.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Harris CorporationInventor: Mitel Kuliner
