Patent number: 10574277Abstract: The present invention teaches a system and method for improved signal recovery for range and coverage extension in a heterogeneous cooperative network of digital chaos transmissions with OFDM component signal transmission. The invention improves upon the state of art in side channel information from the transmit side containing information on the clipped amplitude. In-band transmission of the side information is achieved by exploiting the sparsity of the resulting clip amplitude position with improved levels of compression over the prior art using Gabor Transform Multiple Symbol Encoding transmitter. The information rate of the clipped amplitude is sub-Nyquist relative to the original OFDM component signal transmission, which allows very low power spreading by a cooperative digital chaos sequences at a transmit side and recovery of the clipped amplitude at a receive side. Further, an improved noise resistance side channel performance is achieved by decoding Gabor Transform symbols for symbol recovery.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Inventors: John David Terry, Anthony Reid

Patent number: 10447339Abstract: A candidate arbitrary-phase spread spectrum modulation technique that offers similar performance to spread continuous phase modulation (CPM) waveforms and additional capabilities for programming a chosen frequency domain spectra into the resulting spread spectrum signal. The proposed chaotic-FSK waveform is derived from high-order sequence-based spread spectrum signals, with multi-bit resolution chaos-based sequences defining incremental phase words, enabling real-time efficient generation of practically non-repeating waveforms.

A multipathing solution splits network traffic at the packet level according to network and connection conditions. FEC may be added to the packets in connection with transmission of the packets along the multiple paths and the level/amount of the FEC coding may be controlled based on the ratio of the rate at which the packets are split among the multiple paths.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Raghupathy Sivakumar, Aravind Velayutham

Patent number: 9853848Abstract: In a multi-carrier wireless system, potential problems from reconfiguring mobile station resources to accommodate changes in component-carrier configuration are mitigated by inserting a guard period each time the configuration of component carriers changes, so that transceiver reconfiguration can be carried out without interfering with ongoing transmission. A base station is configured to transmit data to a mobile station according to a first configuration of two or more component carriers, to determine that a change of configuration to a second component-carrier configuration is required, and to signal the change of configuration to the mobile station, using the first configuration of component carriers. The base station then refrains from transmitting data to the mobile station during a pre-determined guard interval of at least one transmission-time interval subsequent to the signaling of the change of configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: OPTIS WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventors: Ghyslain Pelletier, Lars Sundstrom
