Method And Apparatus For A Spectrally Compliant Cellular Communication System

US Patent:
6545990, Apr 8, 2003
Filed:
Dec 20, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/467353
Inventors:
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL
Assignee:
Tantivy Communications, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04B 7216
US Classification:
370335, 370342, 455450
Abstract:
A system for wireless data transmission that uses a channel bandwidth, channel separation, and radio frequency power spectrum which is compatible with existing deployments of wireless voice services. The transmitted waveforms are thus compatible with existing cellular networks. However, the time domain digital coding, modulation, and power control schemes are optimized for data transmission. Existing cellular network sites can thus be used to provide a high speed service optimized for wireless data traffic without the need for new radio frequency planning, and without interfering with existing voice service deployments.

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation To Transmit A Wireless Protocol Across A Code Division Multiple Access (Cdma) Radio Link

US Patent:
6526281, Feb 25, 2003
Filed:
Jun 19, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/596425
Inventors:
Thomas E. Gorsuch - Indialantic FL
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL
Assignee:
Tantivy Communications, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04Q 720
US Classification:
455452, 455500, 455450, 370468
Abstract:
A technique for transmission of wireless signals across CDMA radio links. Bandwidth is allocated dynamically within a session to specific CDMA subscriber unit based upon data rate determinations. Specifically, a dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm operates from limits calculated based upon available ports per subscriber, expected user bandwidth, and parallel user bandwidth versus throughput. Provisions for priority service, unbalanced forward and reverse spectrum utilization, voice prioritization, and band switching are also made.

Dynamic Frame Size Adjustment And Selective Reject On A Multi-Link Channel To Improve Effective Throughput And Bit Error Rate

US Patent:
6236647, May 22, 2001
Filed:
Feb 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/030049
Inventors:
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL
Assignee:
Tantivy Communications, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04J 1300
US Classification:
370335
Abstract:
A technique for implementing a sublayer of a protocol suitable for data transfer in a multichannel environment where each channel is assumed to be prone to a significant bit error rate such as in a wireless communication system. The invention may be used to provide a high speed data transfer such as at 128 kilobits per second or higher with a bit error rate of 10. sup. -6 or better using multiple channels. By keeping track of the number of frames received in error, the sender dynamically adjusts the subframe size for each channel to optimize the effective overall throughput. The subframes each carry preferably two types of sequence numbers including a position number related to an index into a larger frame to be transmitted as a single data entity. The second sequence number is related to the subchannel used so that the receiver can detect missing subframes. This then enables the receiver to submit retransmission requests for the missing pieces which can then be transmitted on the same channel or on another channel.

Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation To Transmit A Wireless Protocol Across A Code Division Multiple Access (Cdma) Radio Link

US Patent:
7583971, Sep 1, 2009
Filed:
Jan 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/764196
Inventors:
Thomas E. Gorsuch - Indialantic FL, US
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL, US
Assignee:
InterDigital Technology Corporation - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
4554521, 370468, 370335, 370342, 370465
Abstract:
A base station includes a wireless transceiver for establishing a communication session over a first digital communication path, and a bandwidth management module is connected to the wireless transceiver for allocating at least one code channel within the at least one radio frequency channel for exchanging digital signals over the first digital communication path during the communication session. The at least one code channel may include at least one traffic portion that is established for a predetermined time and at least one control portion that is continuously available. The bandwidth management module may reallocate the at least one traffic portion from the first digital communication path to a second digital communication path if an extension of time is not requested from the base station over the first digital communication path for the at least one traffic portion, or if the base station no longer has digital signals to transmit over the first digital communication path via the at least one traffic portion. However, the at least one reallocated traffic portion appears as though it is still continuously available to the first digital communication path.

Protocol Conversion And Bandwidth Reduction Technique Providing Multiple Nb+D Isdn Basic Rate Interface Links Over A Wireless Code Division Multiple Access Communication System

US Patent:
6151332, Nov 21, 2000
Filed:
Dec 17, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/992759
Inventors:
Thomas E. Gorsuch - Indialantic FL
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL
Assignee:
TANTIVY Communications, Inc. - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04J 316
US Classification:
370466
Abstract:
A technique for integrating services digital network (ISDN) and code division multiple access (CDMA) or other digital wireless communication protocols by a technique that strips off lower protocol layers, such as layers one and two of the ISDN protocol and sending only layer three and above messages over a more efficient wireless protocol.

Optimal Load-Based Wireless Session Context Transfer

US Patent:
7873365, Jan 18, 2011
Filed:
Feb 13, 2009

Abstract:
A subscriber access unit for transferring session context in wireless communication is disclosed. The access unit contains first context establishing circuitry for establishing a first wireless session context associated with a first wireless coverage area; locating circuitry for determining whether the subscriber access unit is located concurrently in the first wireless coverage area and a second wireless coverage area; loading factor receiving circuitry for receiving a first loading factor and a second loading factor indicative of a throughput load associated with the first and second coverage areas respectively; comparison circuitry for comparing the first loading factor with the second loading factor; and second context establishing circuitry for selectively establishing a second wireless session context continuous with the first wireless session context, the second context associated with the second wireless coverage area, based on output of the circuitry comparing the first and second loading factors.

Antenna Adaptation Comparison Method For High Mobility

US Patent:
2007024, Oct 18, 2007
Filed:
Jun 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/810497
Inventors:
James Proctor - Melbourne Beach FL, US
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL, US
Kil Ryu - West Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:
IPR Licensing, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04L 25/00
US Classification:
375219000
Abstract:
A system causes a scan angle of a directional antenna to change temporarily from a current scan angle to at least one trial scan angle during reception of predetermined portions of an information carrying signal. At the trial scan angle(s), a trial metric associated with each trial scan angle is determined by the system. The system then selects a next scan angle based on the trial metrics. Examples of predetermined portions of the information carrying signal include the Power Control Bit (PCB) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) block.

Queuing Far/Far Service Requests In Wireless Network

US Patent:
2007024, Oct 25, 2007
Filed:
Jun 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/821608
Inventors:
Carlo Amalfitano - Melbourne Beach FL, US
Kevin Farley - Palm Bay FL, US
Assignee:
InterDigital Technology Corporation - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455453000
Abstract:
A technique for coordinating the operation of subscriber units such as in a wireless communications system so that high-probability-of-interference communications do not take place at the same time in adjacent cell sites. A base station becomes aware of expected periods or time slots of high relatively expected interference from remote units operating in a neighboring cell site, and then schedules only low interference level transmissions for its own remote units during such periods. Expected interference information ca be exchanged by base stations directly, through a centralized base station controller-initiated schedule, or by relaying resource load status messages via remote units located near all boundaries.
