Patent number: 11973678Abstract: Systems and methods may provide connectivity to client electronic devices in a wireless communication network aboard aircraft or in another environment. During initial client device association with the wireless network, captive browser use at the client device may be minimized by directing the device to a fully-capable browser. Upon association, subsequent captivity probes transmitted by the client device may be detected and handled so as to prevent undesired re-launching of the captive browser at the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: GOGO BUSINESS AVIATION LLCInventors: Bryan Adrian Lauer, Rukmani Loganathan

Patent number: 10205509Abstract: Data content that is to be utilized, as a whole, at a target device on-board a vehicle is apportioned for delivery onto the vehicle via multiple forward links, each of which is included in a different frequency band and/or used a different protocol. A mapping or selection of a specific portion of the data content for a specific forward link may based on a data content type of the specific portion, as well as on other dynamic or static criteria. The target device may operate on the subsets of the data content as it receives each subset. Thus, time critical/foundational portions of the data content may be delivered using a faster forward link, larger elements of the data content may be delivered using a higher-bandwidth forward link, and/or portions of the data content requiring a higher degree of accuracy may be delivered using a more robust forward link, for example.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: GOGO LLCInventors: Bryan Adrian Lauer, Rukmani Loganathan, Sajit Sasi, Patrick J.

Patent number: 9591462Abstract: Techniques for providing hybrid communications to devices on vehicles include using a forward link to deliver data, that is intended to be received by an on-board device, onto a vehicle, and using a reverse link in a different frequency band to send reverse data from the vehicle. A subsequent forward link is selected, based on the reverse data, from a plurality of forward links, each of which is supported by a different frequency band. Forward data may be multiplexed and/or multicast, and in some cases, multiple forward links may be used for distributed forward data delivery. These techniques allow for efficient data delivery to the vehicle, and in particular while the vehicle is in transit and link conditions are dynamic.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: GOGO LLCInventors: Bryan Adrian Lauer, Rukmani Loganathan, Sajit Sasi, Pat Walsh, Anand Chari

Patent number: 9577857Abstract: Techniques for providing hybrid communications to devices on vehicles include using a selected modulation scheme on a forward link to deliver data (that is intended to be received by an on-board device) onto a vehicle, and using a reverse link in a different frequency band to send reverse data from the vehicle. Based on the reverse data, a subsequent pre-defined modulation scheme for a subsequent forward transmission is selected from a plurality of modulation schemes corresponding to a plurality of performance levels of data delivery. The selections may be based on a current geo-spatial location of the vehicle, a type of data, and/or on one or more other dynamic conditions. The forward data may be multiplexed and/or multicast. Thus, adaptive modulation is achieved in a hybrid communications system in which the forward link and the reverse link to the vehicle are supported by different wireless communication bands.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: GOGO LLCInventors: Bryan Adrian Lauer, Rukmani Loganathan, Sajit Sasi, Pat Walsh, Anand Chari

Patent number: 9326217Abstract: Techniques for optimizing modem use for data delivery to vehicles that are near to or parked at ports include using a high-capacity forward communications link, in a first frequency band, to support a logical forward link of a data tunnel via which data is delivered between a data provider and the vehicle. Instead of using the reverse communications link of the first frequency band, though, a reverse communications link in a different frequency band is used to support the reverse logical link of the data tunnel, as reverse data typically requires less bandwidth. Thus, the forward communications link is used in a high-throughput, unidirectional manner. Forward data may be multiplexed and/or multicast, and in some cases, multiple forward communications links may be used in parallel to support the logical forward link of the data tunnel.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: GOGO LLCInventors: Bryan Adrian Lauer, Rukmani Loganathan, Sajit Sasi, Pat Walsh, Anand Chari
