Antenna Steering Scheduler For Mobile Station In Wireless Local Area Network

View page
US Patent:
6911948, Jun 28, 2005
Filed:
Jun 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/462569
Inventors:
Lawrence R. Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
Kenneth M. Gainey - Satellite Beach FL, US
Assignee:
IPR Licensing, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H01Q019/06
H01Q003/22
US Classification:
343754, 343853, 342368
Abstract:
Methods of scheduling optimization of communications used with Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) equipment that employs steerable directional antennas. The methods may use and are compatible with Media Access Control (MAC) layers of IEEE 802. 11 group of standards. The methods do not depend on any particular PHY layer standard.

Link-Aware Transmission Control Protocol

View page
US Patent:
7184401, Feb 27, 2007
Filed:
Feb 5, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/777557
Inventors:
Lawrence R. Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
Kevin L. Farley - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
InterDigital Technology Corporation - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
H04L 12/66
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
370231, 370235, 370349, 370401, 709235, 714749
Abstract:
In a TCP/IP network, congestion control techniques such as slow start and congestion avoidance are employed. Such networks include wired and wireless links. However, normal operation of the wireless links exhibit different latencies than those exhibited over the wired link. The protocols employed in the wired network do not lend themselves well to efficient communication over wireless connections, and can cause slow start to be triggered. Determining when a sender will timeout due to non-receipt of an ACK, and intervening with a suppression message having an advertised window of zero to pause the user, are employed to prevent congestion control mechanisms such as slow start and congestion avoidance from activation.

Employing Simulated Acknowledgment Signals For Efficient Handoffs In Cellular Packet Networks

View page
US Patent:
7187666, Mar 6, 2007
Filed:
Mar 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/823288
Inventors:
Kevin L Farley - Orlando FL, US
Lawrence Robert Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
IPR Licensing, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04Q 7/00
US Classification:
370331, 370349, 37039552, 455436
Abstract:
An improved arrangement is described for maintaining throughput of data packets over a cellular packet network from an Internet server to an end user machine during handoff of a mobile subscriber unit from a first base station to a second base station. The end user machine conventionally generates, in response to successive bytes from the server, acknowledgment signals including where applicable a “zero” acknowledgment signal that advertises a closed receive window at the end user machine and that is effective to pause transmission of data from the server. In response to a handoff start signal from the subscriber unit, a gateway unit associated with the first base station sends to the server a simulated zero acknowledgment signal to pause such transmission. Upon completion of handoff, an actual non-zero acknowledgment signal stored at the gateway unit at the start of handoff is applied to the server to resume transmission from the server to the end user machine.

Random Early Detection Over Wireless Links

View page
US Patent:
7539136, May 26, 2009
Filed:
Nov 21, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/302797
Inventors:
Lawrence R. Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
Kevin P. Johnson - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
IPR Licensing, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
US Classification:
3702301, 370235
Abstract:
Random early detection (RED) controlled loss (i. e. , discarding data packets) is determined as a function of change in processing gain assigned by a resource management system in a data network having a communications link between first and second network nodes. Rather than triggering RED controlled loss as a function of buffer levels, triggering is determined as a function of change in processing gain caused by, for example, a change in code rate, modulation technique, error (e. g. , bit error rate or frame error rate), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or carrier-to-interference (C/I) level, or a number of traffic code channels or TDMA slots assigned to the nodes. In a wireless data network, this technique may be deployed in a base station or access terminal. A tight coupling between the physical layer and link layer is provided using this technique.

Filed:

Appl. No.:
11/682766
Inventors:
Kevin L. Farley - Orlando FL, US
Lawrence Robert Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
IPR Licensing, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04Q 7/00
US Classification:
370331, 370338, 455436
Abstract:
An improved arrangement is described for maintaining throughput of date packets over a cellular packet network from an Internet server to an end user machine during handoff of a mobile subscriber unit from a first base station to a second base station. The end user machine conventionally generates, in response to successive bytes from the server, acknowledgment signals including here applicable a “zero” acknowledgment signal that advertises a closed receive window at the end user machine and that is effective to pause transmission of data from the server. In response to a handoff start signal from the subscriber unit, a gateway unit associated with the first base station sends to the server a simulated zero acknowledgment signal to pause such transmission. Upon completion of handoff, an actual non-zero acknowledgment signal stored at the gateway unit at the start of handoff is applied to the server to resume transmission from the server to the end user machine.

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation For Multiple Access Communication Using Session Queues

View page
US Patent:
20010021197, Sep 13, 2001
Filed:
Jan 31, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/773252
Inventors:
Lawrence Foore - Palm Bay FL, US
James Proctor - Indialantic FL, US
Assignee:
Tantivy Communications, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04J003/16
US Classification:
370/468000, 370/412000
Abstract:
A technique for providing high speed data service over standard wireless connections via an unique integration of protocols and existing cellular signaling, such as is available with Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) type systems through more efficient allocation of access to CDMA channels. For example, when more users exist than channels, the invention determines a set of probabilities for which users will require channel access at which times, and dynamically assigns channel resources accordingly. Channel resources are allocated according to a buffer monitoring scheme provided on forward and reverse links between a base station and multiple subscriber units. Each buffer is monitored over time for threshold levels of data to be transmitted in that buffer. For each buffer, a probability is calculated that indicates how often the specific buffer will need to transmit data and how much data will be transmitted. This probability takes into account the arrival rates of data into the buffer, as well as which thresholds within the buffer are exceeded, as well as which resources in the form of channels are already allocated to the subscriber unit.
