Patent number: 10750420Abstract: Provided are methods and systems of managing vertical handoffs in a wireless communication network. Embodiments include analyzing wireless device usage to determine usage patterns, which may include locations and times at which the wireless device is typically accessing the network. The network may recognize points in the usage patterns at which signal quality parameters are typically reduced. Such reductions in signal quality parameters may lead to inefficient vertical handoffs. The network may decrease adverse effects of inefficient vertical handoffs by reducing ping ponging, selecting links between wireless devices and network nodes, or indicating to a user of the wireless device that delays and/or data loss may occur.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Erik Hershey, John Anderson Fergus Ross, Michael James Hartman, Richard Louis Zinser

Patent number: 10666623Abstract: Provided are methods and systems of using division-free duplexing (DFD) in a cable communication network. Techniques for applying DFD in a cable communication network may enable data to be transmitted and received over a coaxial cable without using division duplexing techniques. For example, the cable communication network may include DFD enabled network nodes and each subscriber to the cable network may be equipped with a DFD system configured to operate in a DFD mode. In some embodiments, oppositely propagating signals may be transmitted over one frequency channel, and DFD techniques may be used to recover originally transmitted signals. Further, in some embodiments, DFD techniques may be used with encryption methods to increase the security of data transmitted in the cable communication network.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Anderson Fergus Ross, Michael James Hartman, John Erik Hershey, Richard Louis Zinser

Patent number: 9596050Abstract: A communication system includes an omnidirectional antenna, a beam antenna and a controller. The omnidirectional antenna receives a wideband primary signal and the beam antenna is oriented towards a jammer to receive a jamming signal. The controller subtracts a processed jamming signal from a processed wideband primary signal to produce a jamming cancelled signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Richard Louis Zinser, Michael Joseph Dell'Anno

Patent number: 9369260Abstract: Provided are methods and systems of using division-free duplexing (DFD) in a communication network. Techniques for applying DFD in a communication network may decrease bottlenecks in the network by allowing one or more network nodes to transmit and on substantially the same frequency and at substantially the same time. In one embodiment, one or more nodes in the network may be DFD enabled, and may be configured to operate in either a conventional mode or a DFD mode. The mode of operation of DFD enabled nodes may depend on the quality of signals transmitted to and/or received at the DFD enabled nodes. Further, the mode of operation may change dynamically, and may be substantially controlled by any suitable processor in the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Anderson Fergus Ross, Michael James Hartman, John Erik Hershey, Richard Louis Zinser

Patent number: 9355670Abstract: Techniques are provided for increasing spectral efficiency over data channels in a storage or communication system. In some embodiments, data may be encoded and transmitted over multiple channels. The transmitted data from the multiple channels may be considered together as a channel bundle, thereby increasing the edge transitions of the group of signals to improve clock recovery and reduce coding constraints. In some embodiments, the channel bit size is reduced to maximize data rates based on the reduced coding constraints. Furthermore, the channel bundle has only one channel with timing markers, so that a receiver may receive information from the channel bundle and recover clocking based on the timing markers in the one channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John Anderson Fergus Ross, Michael James Hartman, John Erik Hershey, Richard Louis Zinser, Xiaolei Shi
