Patent number: 11778019Abstract: A base station or content delivery server in a wireless network is configured to receive wireless network topology information from each of a plurality of wireless user devices. The wireless network topology information indicates which wireless user devices are within radio communication range of each other. The base station or content delivery server is configured to respond to a request for content from a first wireless user device by using the wireless network topology information for selecting a second wireless user device that has the content and is within radio communication range of the first wireless user device. The base station or content delivery server can be configured to forward the request to the second wireless user device, send a resource identifier to the first wireless user device that identifies the second wireless user device, and/or transmit a radio resource allocation to the first wireless user device to create a peer-to-peer link with the second wireless user device.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Tybalt, LLCInventor: Steve J Shattil

Patent number: 11025312Abstract: In a radio receiver, digital baseband signals are processed by a time-domain-to-frequency-domain converter to generate frequency-domain symbols. A blind-adaptive decoder processes the frequency-domain symbols to produce estimates of transmitted data symbols. Frequency-domain equalization may be performed prior to the blind-adaptive decoder performing at least one of blind-adaptive decoding and partially blind adaptive decoding based on information about the transmitted data symbols. The blind-adaptive decoder comprises a combiner that combines the frequency-domain symbols to produce the estimates of the transmitted data symbols.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Genghiscomm Holdings, LLCInventor: Steve J Shattil
