Patent number: 10230645Abstract: A computer-implemented method for dynamic adjustment of quality of service parameters is described. In one embodiment, one or more quality of service (QoS) parameters of a client of a mesh network is set based on an expected bandwidth for the mesh network. An actual bandwidth for the mesh network is measured. One or more QoS parameters of the client is automatically changed in response to the actual bandwidth differing from the expected bandwidth. The change in the QoS parameters may be configured to compensate for the difference between the actual bandwidth and the expected bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Venkat Kalkunte, Pravin Bathija

Patent number: 10200899Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described that are directed to estimating the bandwidth at a particular location in a wireless mesh network. In some embodiments, a performance determination apparatus includes a signal receiver module, a location module, a signal analysis module, a report module, and a placement module. In some embodiments, the signal analysis module collects received signal strength indicator (RSSI) on one or more receive chains of the receiver and analyzes various aspects of signal quality. In some embodiments, the signal analysis module estimates the bandwidth available at the location, estimates the latency at the location, or both. In some embodiments, the report module represents the quality of the signal graphically by overlaying a representation of the signal quality on a map of the area. In some embodiments, the placement module recommends where to place customer premises equipment (CPE) in order to maximize signal quality.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Venkat Kalkunte, Pravin Bathija

Patent number: 10178095Abstract: A computer system for authenticating and managing network traffic may comprise a network link providing a connection to a network, an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server configured to provide AAA management for the network link, an access controller configured to communicate with the AAA server and to control access to the network link, and a subnetwork of client devices connected to an intermediate relay node. The client devices may be configured to communicate with the access controller and the network link through the intermediate relay node. Also methods and processes by which an intermediate relay node and an access controller may operate in the network for authentication of client devices and routing of network traffic.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Vivint, Inc.Inventors: Pravin Bathija, Venkat Kalkunte
