  • Patent number: 10263684
    Abstract: A wireless access point is configured to communicate in millimeter wave frequency bands in the downlink direction and in sub-6 GHz frequency bands in the uplink direction. The wireless access point includes a signal processing circuit configured to generate different spatial streams signals and a frequency shift circuit configured to apply different frequency shifts to the different spatial streams signals. The wireless access point includes a mixer driven by a local oscillator, which up-converts the frequency shifted signals to millimeter wave frequency band signals, wherein the millimeter wave frequency band signals are transmitted by a MIMO transmit antenna array. A wireless communication device applies different frequency shifts to the different spatial streams signals after down-converting the signals received at a higher millimeter wave frequency to a lower frequency below 6 GHz.

  • Publication number: 20180020451
    Abstract: A high-capacity wireless communications network for wireless broadband link comprises a radio base station configured to transmit first millimeter-wave band signals and a plurality of wireless access points configured to receive the first millimeter wave band signals. The wireless access points are operable to convert the first millimeter wave band signals to first lower frequency band signals and operable to transmit the first lower frequency band signals to communications devices. The wireless access points are configured to receive second lower frequency band signals from the communications devices and operable to convert the second lower frequency band signals to second millimeter wave band signals and operable to transmit the second millimeter wave band signals to the radio base station. The radio base station is configured to receive the second millimeter wave band signals and operable to process the second millimeter wave band signals.

  • Patent number: 8364185
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network (AN) to a clock for an overlay network (ON) is provided. The method includes extracting an ON clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network. The AN clock is synchronized to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20050096060
    Abstract: For use in a wireless network, a base station that controls use of the reduced slot cycle mode by mobile stations communicating with the base station. The base station comprises: i) a traffic monitor for monitoring message traffic levels handled by the base station; and ii) a reduced slot cycle controller for receiving traffic statistics information from the traffic monitor and determining whether use of the reduced slot cycle mode by the mobile stations communicating with the base station interferes with scheduling of paging message transmissions by the base station. The reduced slot cycle controller, in response to a determination that use of the reduced slot cycle mode by the mobile stations does interfere with the scheduling of paging message transmissions by the base station, causes the base station to transmit a first control message indicating that the reduced slot cycle mode is disabled in the base station.
