Publication number: 20190140732Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, e.g. a wireless data access bridge, that includes two antennas. A first antenna is configured to communicate with a wireless data access point via a first signal at a first radio-frequency (RF) carrier frequency. A second antenna is configured to communicate with a wireless gateway device via a second signal at a second lower RF signal carrier frequency. An interface circuit is configured to recover data from the first signal and to modulate the second signal using the recovered data. In some embodiments the apparatus may operate as a bridge between a microwave-frequency network access point and a residential gateway device in the presence of an attenuating barrier, e.g. a treated window surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2017Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: Nokia of America CorporationInventors: Shahriar Shahramian, Yves Baeyens

Patent number: 10268614Abstract: A method and architecture for operating with distributed (or segmented) on-chip digital interfaces such as the Inter-Integrated Circuit protocol and a Serial Peripheral Interface protocol. This method and architecture, illustratively, divides the available address space of the digital interface register arrays of a device into one or more segments referred to as a fundamental digital interface circuit. Such segmentation allows for each fundamental digital interface circuit to be placed in proximity of the digitally controlled circuit(s) (e.g., analog circuit(s)) which share some operational connection and for exchanging communication in accordance with a plurality of inputs to the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: NOKIA OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Shahriar Shahramian, Yves Baeyens, Ut-Va Koc

Patent number: 9584230Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed configured for receiving a first alternating signal and for transmitting a second alternating signal. A detector is configured to receive a third alternating signal which is a reflection of at least a portion in power of the second alternating signal. The detector is further configured to convert the third alternating signal into a rectified signal and measure the power of said rectified signal. The measured power of the rectified signal is indicative of a power of the reflected third signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Shahriar Shahramian, Yves Baeyens
