Patent number: 10149311Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more node connections from a mesh network external to the data processing hardware. The mesh network includes a network of nodes each operative to transmit and/or receive directional beams containing packets of data. The method also includes identifying a route within the mesh network for providing a data packet from a source to a destination and determining schedule information associated with the identified route, the schedule information coordinating wireless communication between at least a first node and a second node along the route to transfer the data packet. The method also includes providing the schedule information to the first node and the second node.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 10050838Abstract: Systems and methods, including procedures, for managing wireless point-to-multipoint networks supporting dynamic topologies with relaying, multi-hop or wireless bridging. A topology management protocol is embedded in a wireless MAC layer in a multi-hop point-to-multipoint network, enabling self-organizing dynamic topology management by using link level information to make decisions for relaying data. The topology management protocol provides for a first node to establish primary and alternate associations with other nodes based on a hub path cost associated with each of the other nodes.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael John Hart, Peter Gelbman

Patent number: 10044442Abstract: A method for delivering a communication signal is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an optical transceiver, an optical communication and constructing, at a baseband integrated circuit in communication with the optical transceiver, a radio frequency communication (e.g., the intermediate frequency data and control signals) based on the optical communication. The method also includes transmitting the radio frequency communication from a Sommerfeld-Goubau launcher in communication with the baseband integrated circuit as a surface wave along a power line to a strand mount device disposed on the power line. The strand mount device is configured to receive the radio frequency communication and wirelessly transmit the radio frequency communication (e.g., via a wireless link) to a user device.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Karthik Yogeeswaran, Peter Gelbman

Patent number: 9794854Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing wireless backhaul transport. One element of the system is a highly integrated radio transceiver, including an integrated antenna. The radio transceiver may operate in the millimeter wave range (between 30 GHz and 300 GHz), and due to the small wavelengths, it is possible to integrate the antenna, which may typically compromise a number of antenna elements, with the radio transceiver in a single integrated circuit (IC) package, commonly referred to as a system-in-package (SiP) and/or antenna-in-package (AiP) format. The system supports multi-hop point-to-multipoint or multi-hop mesh networking topologies. Low level MAC routing tables are built and maintained to enable efficient packet and frame forwarding.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael Hart, Peter Gelbman

Patent number: 8908571Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a first wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a second wireless TDD communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the first TDD device to determine if reception at the first TDD device has experienced interference from the second TDD device. Such interference at the first TDD device may indicate that the first TDD device may also cause interference to reception at the second TDD device. Accordingly, to mitigate the possible interference from the first TDD device, an uplink configuration of the first TDD base station may be adjusted. The adjustment of the uplink configuration may include configuring reception of data packets at the first TDD base station from the first TDD device in accordance with an interference-free time interval, an unprotected time interval, or a specific portion of an associated frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Michael Hart, Yang Xu, Peter Gelbman, Herkole Sava

Patent number: 8830985Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating interference between from a wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device and a wireless frequency division duplex (FDD) communications device includes processing quality-indicator reports received from the FDD device to determine if the FDD device has experienced interference from the TDD device. Such interference may be mitigated by adjusting a downlink configuration of the FDD base station in communication with the FDD device. To detect and mitigate interference from an FDD device to a TDD device, it is determined if a monitored value of an operational parameter of the FDD device is within a fixed range of a maximum value of the operational parameter, and if so, a specific time interval or frequency of the FDD device is assigned for communication purposes. Similar interference detection and mitigation techniques may also be used for interference scenarios between two TDD systems including TDD devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Yang Xu, Michael Hart, Peter Gelbman, Herkole Sava

Patent number: 8682392Abstract: A base station includes multiple transmitter-receiver elements coupled to multiple antennas. The activation of additional baseband signal processing resources, dynamically mapped via a programmable digital interface module to a subset of the original transmitter-receiver sets in the base station to double capacity of the system or facilitate simultaneous operation of multiple air interface technologies with minimal or no hardware modifications to the base station or cell site. With a base station having four transmitter-receivers, the system transmits and receives the same signal on all transmitter-receivers to provide a 4×2 downlink and a 1×4 uplink. The system can be reconfigured by splitting the transmitter-receiver sets into two logically separate units. An additional base station modem resource is activated to double the capacity of the radio system or to implement a different communication protocol allowing transition between technologies.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Peter Gelbman, Durga Prasad Satapathy

Patent number: 8532036Abstract: A system for providing Quality of Service (QoS) for voice over internet protocol (VoIP) provides a remote station with the address of an SIP proxy server. The initiates a VoIP service flow by sending an Invite to the proxy server via a base station. If the service flow is authorized, the remote station transmits a request to the base station to establish a service flow having a selected QoS. The proxy server also provides a dynamic address for a voice gateway. Once the service flow is established, the remote station transmits RTP packets to the designated voice gateway using the service flow having the designated QoS level.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Clearwire IP Holdings LLCInventors: Bhupal S.
