  • Patent number: 10440759
    Abstract: Techniques for performing forward error correction of data to be transmitted over an optical communications channel. The techniques include: receiving data bits; organizing the data bits into an arrangement having a plurality of blocks organized into rows and columns and into a plurality of strands including a first strand of blocks that includes a back portion comprising a first row of the plurality of blocks, and a front portion comprising blocks from at least two different columns in at least two different rows other than the first row of blocks; and encoding at least some of the data bits in the arrangement using a first error correcting code at least in part by generating first parity bits by applying the first error correcting code to first data bits in the front portion of the first strands and second data bits in the back portion of the first strand.

  • Patent number: 8718697
    Abstract: Among other things, a method performed by a first access point is described. The method includes outputting signals. At least some of the signals interfere with communication between a device and a second access point. The method also includes determining whether to output the signals in a predefined mode based on dynamically calculated values of a parameter. The parameter is related to signal interference at the device. If it is determined to output the signals in the predefined mode, for a time period, the first access point outputs signals in the predefined mode.

  • Patent number: 8520659
    Abstract: A method includes receiving from a server, information that is based on an offset between a boundary of a synchronous capsule in a control channel cycle occurring at an access point and a boundary of a periodic pseudo-noise sequence, and synchronizing an access point to an absolute time based on the information. In addition, the method includes transmitting to the server a difference between a first boundary of a PN short code of a current sector and a second boundary of a PN short code of a reference sector.

  • Patent number: 8379625
    Abstract: A method, performed by an access point of a cellular network, obtains time information by identifying a control channel cycle boundary; at a beginning of the control channel cycle boundary, sending a request to a time server; receiving a response from the time server, the request including a server time; and obtaining the timing information using the server time. Obtaining the timing information includes using the server time and a first reference time to obtain an integer and a fraction; using the fraction to obtain a time difference; and using the time difference to obtain the timing information.

  • Patent number: 8340636
    Abstract: A wireless access point is capable of communicating with an access terminal. The wireless access point executes instructions for receiving a first parameter from the access terminal in an attempt by the access terminal to register with the wireless access point for first service, for using the first parameter to update a failed list if the access terminal is not permitted to register with the wireless access point, for receiving a second parameter from the access terminal in an attempt by the access terminal to register with the wireless access point for second service, and for using the second parameter and the failed list to determine if the access terminal is authorized to use the wireless access point for second service.
