Publication number: 20180034518Abstract: Radio apparatuses and methods for MIMO matrix phasing that may be used to toggle and/or weight the amount of MIMO processing based on the detected level of isolation between different polarizations of the system. Also described herein are apparatuses including auto-range and/or auto-scaling of a signal strength indicator to aid in precise alignment of the apparatus. Any of these apparatuses and methods may also include dynamic power boosting that adjusts the power (e.g., power amplifier) for an RF apparatus based on the data rate. These apparatuses may include a housing enclosing the radio device that includes a plurality of pin elements that may act as heat transfer pins and a ground pin for making a ground connection to the post or pole to which the devices is mounted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2016Publication date: February 1, 2018Applicant: UBIQUITI NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Gary D.

Publication number: 20170098895Abstract: Devices and systems, and methods of using them, for point-to-point transmission/communication of high bandwidth signals. Radio devices and systems may include a pair of reflectors (e.g., parabolic reflectors) that are adjacent to each other and configured so that one of the reflectors is dedicated for sending/transmitting information, and the adjacent reflector is dedicated for receiving information. Both reflectors may be in a fixed configuration relative to each other so that they are aligned to send/receive in parallel. In many variations the two reflectors are formed of a single housing, so that the parallel alignment is fixed, and reflectors cannot lose alignment. The device/systems may be configured to allow switching between duplexing modes. These devices/systems may be configured as wide bandwidth zero intermediate frequency radios including alignment modules for automatic alignment of in-phase and quadrature components of transmitted signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Gary D.

Patent number: 9543635Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint transmission/communication of high bandwidth signals. High bandwidth signals may be efficiently transmitted by a radio device having a pair of reflectors separated by an isolation choke boundary. The two reflectors may be connected or formed of a single housing, and may be mounted to a wall, pole, etc. using a quick-connect. The devices may be configured to operate in any appropriate band (e.g., a 5GHz band, a 24 GHz band, etc.) and may be configured for accurate and easy alignment with one or more remote radio devices. Alignment may be assisted by displaying both local and remote transmission information during alignment.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.Inventors: Gary D.

Patent number: 9397820Abstract: Radio devices having separate transmission and reception reflectors for transmitting and receiving wireless signals that detect interference in a transmission channel and may be automatically or manually switch duplexing schemes when reflections, radar or other interference is detected. These devices typically include both a transmission antenna reflector and a receiving transmitter reflector, which may be connected or formed of a single housing, that are operatively coupled to radio circuitry for transmission and reception of wireless signals. Interference, and particularly reflected signals between the transmitter and receiver, are avoided by including a detector coupled to either (or both) reflectors that monitors the transmitting frequency channel; reflections and/or radar signals may be detected and may trigger switching (manual or automatic switching) to a different duplexing modes such as frequency-division duplexing (FDD), time-division duplexing (TDD), etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.Inventors: Gary D.

Publication number: 20160112187Abstract: Systems and methods are presented that offer significant improvements in the performance of time division duplex (TDD) systems by utilizing an adaptive synchronous protocol. Conventional TDD systems are limited because data is transmitted during discreet and limited intervals of time, and because TDD transceivers may not simultaneously transmit and receive for reasons of insufficiently separated frequencies and limited receiver selectivity. Typically, TDD systems have significant latency due to the time to change from transmission to reception and the propagation delay time. By synchronizing the master nodes and the one or more remotes and by scheduling the traffic loads between these nodes, remote nodes may begin transmitting before the master node is finished with its transmission, and vice versa. This method reduces latency and improves the frame efficiency. Further, the frame efficiency may improve as the distance from the master node to the remote node increases.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: UBIQUITI NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Gary Schulz, Paul Odlyzko

Patent number: 8611274Abstract: A communication system comprises a communication node for scheduling uplink and downlink transmissions in a communication system. The communication node determines based on a first set of parameters of a data associated with the communication node and a second set of parameters of a data associated with one other communication node, whether to load the data associated with the communication node from an end of a data queue buffer. The communication node upon determining to load the data associated with the communication node from the end of the data queue buffer, loads the data associated with the communication node from the end of the data queue buffer. The communication node further determines a start time for transmission of the data associated with the communication node and schedules transmission of the data associated with the communication node at the start time.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Cambium Networks, LtdInventors: Paul Odlyzko, Michael S.

Patent number: 7269152Abstract: A node within a communication system periodically broadcasts its interference status to neighboring nodes within the communication system. Additionally, the node receives an interference status from all neighboring nodes. If communication is desired with a neighboring node, the node accesses the stored table for the particular neighboring node and determines an optimal time for transmission to the neighboring node. This is accomplished by utilizing the table received from the neighboring node and determining the neighboring node's optimal times for reception.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Ivan Vukovic, Thomas A.

Publication number: 20070026868Abstract: A system and method for managing licensed and unlicensed frequency bands in a wireless wide-area network includes establishing the available channels of a licensed band and unlicensed band of frequencies. Data traffic is prioritized for assigning channels. Higher priority data traffic is assigned to the licensed frequency band and lower priority data traffic is assigned to the unlicensed frequency band. Channel quality is determined, wherein higher priority traffic is assigned to lower noise channels. Data traffic is shifted from the channels of the unlicensed frequency band to the channels of the licensed frequency band if the quality of the channels of the unlicensed frequency band deteriorates below a predetermined acceptable threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2005Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Gary Schulz, Anthony Kobrinetz, Paul Odlyzko
