  • Patent number: 12041010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a system. The methods may comprise: using a machine learning model to identify which frequency of a plurality of possible frequencies that can be used by a communication device for wireless communications is an inferred best frequency based on weather report information and/or predicted weather information; performing operations to select a best frequency from the plurality of possible frequencies using the inferred best frequency and a frequency value selected by a link establishment process of the communication device; and causing the communication device to communicate signals with the best frequency which was selected.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11356851
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) communications system may include an RF transmitter having multicarrier transmitter circuitry that transmits frequency bands over a frequency range. A controller may selectively transmit real information over at least one of the frequency bands and selectively transmits fake information within the frequency range. The controller's operation is based on embedded machine learning model and real-time effectiveness feedback from built-in spectral analyzer. An RF receiver receives the real information from the RF transmitter.

  • Patent number: 11050594
    Abstract: A communications system may include a transmitter having spreading stages configured to spread a common modulated baseband input data stream based upon respective coefficient sequences; a plurality of upconverters, each having a different frequency; and an RF output stage that generates an RF output signal. A receiver may include an RF input stage that receives an RF input signal, a plurality of downconverters, a plurality of despreading stages, and a demodulator coupled to the despreading stages.

  • Patent number: 10944436
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) communication device includes an RF spectral sensor that senses a dynamically changing RF spectral environment, and RF circuitry having at least one settable parameter. A controller dynamically sets the at least one settable parameter thereby affecting power consumption and RF communication performance by using an artificial intelligence (AI) model based upon the power consumption and the RF communication performance in the dynamically changing RE spectral environment.

  • Patent number: 9154239
    Abstract: System (201) for mitigating co-site interference includes a co-site filter bank (208) containing filters (2061, 2062, . . . 206n) which can be optionally selectively inserted in an antenna input/output path (2051, 2052, . . . 205n) of two or more transceivers (2041, 2042, . . . 204n). A control system (900) receives information concerning the transceivers. Based on the information, the control system determines whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from the transceivers so as to mitigate co-site interference.

  • Patent number: 8792464
    Abstract: A communication network may be uncooperative with an uncooperative communications device. The communication network includes mobile wireless communications devices including a collection device and forward devices. Each forward device is configured to detect a received signal characteristic associated with the uncooperative communications device, and transmit the received signal characteristic to the collection device. The collection device is configured to selectively schedule reception of the received signal characteristic based upon a timing of communications among the forward devices, and determine a parameter associated with the uncooperative communications device based upon the received signal characteristic.
