Patent number: 9698962Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for implementing timing advances in which a propagation delay may exceed a time period of a portion of a radio frame. In some examples, a transmitter may identify a timing advance indicating a time to initiate wireless uplink transmission of a subframe. Such a timing advance may compensate for a propagation delay between the transmitter and a receiver of the wireless uplink transmission. The timing advance may be applied as an integer component and a fractional component in relation to a duration of the subframe, to adjust the time to initiate the wireless uplink transmission of the subframe. The integer component may be used to adjust one or more subframe characteristics, and the fractional component that may be used to adjust the time to initiate the wireless uplink transmission of the subframe.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Venkatraman Rajagopalan, Srikant Jayaraman, Ruoheng Liu, Rajakumar Ebenezar Devairakkam

Patent number: 9648504Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for transmitting across a broad azimuth using an antenna array. In one example, a method is described that includes forming two subarrays from an antenna array. Beamforming weights are selected for each subarray to cause the radiation patterns to be complementary over a range of the azimuth of a cell. The beamforming weights may be selected according to a recursive relation based on the number of antenna elements in each subarray. Information may be encoded, scrambled, and mapped to modulation symbols. A Space Frequency Block Code (SFBC) such as an Alamouti Code may then be used to form two signals to be transmitted over the two subarrays.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: June Namgoong, Srikant Jayaraman, Ruoheng Liu

Patent number: 9615344Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for establishing a wireless communications link at an aircraft terminal (AT). An AT may determine a timing offset based on the propagation delay between the AT and a ground station, which in some cases may be more than 100 kilometers away. The AT may then transmit an initial access message to the ground station based on the determined timing offset. In some embodiments, the AT may receive an access response message from the ground station that includes a timing alignment value and adjust the timing offset based on this value. The AT may transmit a connection message to the ground station that includes AT location information. This information may be used by the ground station to facilitate beamforming.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ruoheng Liu, June Namgoong, Hai Le, Srikant Jayaraman, Sunil Kamavaram, Rajakumar Ebenezar Devairakkam, Venkatraman Rajagopalan

Publication number: 20140368321Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses are described for location tracking in which each tag used to track an asset or person in an indoor environment transmits ranging waveforms used to estimate a location of the tag. Multiple tags may concurrently transmit without interfering with each other by having each tag use a distinct frequency shift for the ranging waveforms. Access points may be deployed throughout the indoor environment as part of a wireless network (e.g., ultra-wideband or UWB network) that tracks the assets. The access points may receive the ranging waveforms transmitted by the tags and may perform measurements based on the ranging waveforms. The measurements may be sent to a tracking management server to estimate the location of the tags. The server may also determine and assign the distinct frequency shifts used by the tags and may modify the assignment when the number of tags being tracked changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: June NAMGOONG, Srikant JAYARAMAN

Patent number: 8737538Abstract: Synchronized broadcast transmits a same broadcast content using a same waveform from multiple transmitters. Transmitters each apply a same spreading code for broadcast transmissions. In a spread-spectrum communication system having a time division multiplexed forward link, a synchronized broadcast transmission is inserted into a broadcast slot. One embodiment employs an Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiplex (OFDM) waveform for the synchronized broadcast. An OFDM receiver is then used to process the received synchronized broadcast transmission. An alternate embodiment implements a broadcast Pseudo-random Noise (PN) code for use by multiple transmitters. An equalizer is then employed to estimate the synchronized broadcast transmission.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Matthew S. Grob, Peter J. Black, Srikant Jayaraman, Paul E. Jacobs

Patent number: 8699465Abstract: In a synchronous application to control forward link (FL) data rates in a satellite system, user equipment (UE) repeatedly transmits a quality control measurement (QCM) index during a QCM period. During this QCM period, the data rate cannot change. The associated satellite transmits at a new rate corresponding to the QCM index. The UE knows that it will begin receiving new data at the new rate after a QCM delay. In an asynchronous application, a satellite transmits a rate change signal over a FL rate indication channel (RICH). A UE monitors the FL RICH for this signal. When the signal quality is to be low, the satellite sends only a single bit of the QCM index over a first orthogonal channel. When the signal quality is not low, the satellite transmits each bit of the QCM index in a separate orthogonal channel of the FL RICH.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2009Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Bin Tian, Ahmad Jalali, Srikant Jayaraman, June Namgoong
