A method and system for open-loop acquisition of a pseudo-noise (PN) encoded QPSK burst signal is provided. The method includes the steps of determining a PN correlation accumulation (PNCA) threshold and a sync threshold. Searching for a burst signal synchronization by searching a burst preamble for a sync word exceeding the sync threshold. In response to detecting the sync word, performing a PNCA of at least 256 bits following the detected sync word and comparing the PNCA of the at least 256 bits with the PNCA threshold. The comparison further includes the step of verifying that the PNCA of the 256 bits following the detected sync word exceeds the PNCA threshold and then verifying sync word detection. Next, using the burst preamble an estimate of carrier signal frequency is determined; and using a subsequent burst preamble carrier signal frequency and carrier signal phase is determined.

375150, 375368

A method and device for frame sync detection using signal combining and correlation. The method comprises the steps of despreading PN coded signals to provide in-phase I–I, and quadrature phase Q–Qsignals, wherein each I–Iand each Q–Qsignal contains at least one sync bit and n≧2. The at least one sync bit from each I–I, and quadrature phase Q–Qsignals are summed to form sums Iand Q, respectively. The next step provides a reference sync having at least one bit and compares each sum Iand Qwith the at least one reference bit. The results of each Iand Qcomparison are accumulated so as to form two accumulates, Iand Q, respectively. Each accumulate Iand Q, is squared to form Iand Qfrom which the sum Iand Qis formed. The sum I+Qis compared with a predetermined threshold and as a result of the comparison a determination of whether frame sync has been achieved is made.

714774, 714776

A data networking system designed to provide efficient, yet reliable, transportation of data across a time division multiplexed network. This invention allows for redundantly sending data segments wherein if bad data segments are received, they can be resent in a dynamic manner depending on the network condition and segments can be fragmented, resized and sent with low overhead due to dynamic header sizes, segment sizes, forward error correction, and cyclic redundancy checks. The result is a very adaptive network that meets the demanding requirements of networks such as power line and wireless while still being able to transport data for voice, audio, video, computer, control, and the like.

A method and system for cooperative transmission power control in a communication system is provided. The method, operating within a system having a base station and at least on mobile station, includes the step of providing a power control data structure having memory fields indexed according to a predetermined parameter set. The next step retrieves from one of the memory fields a transmission power control value and adjusts a transmission power level of the mobile station according to the retrieved value.

709238000

A system and method for creating, deleting, and maintaining logical networks based on the needs of a network. Logical networks are created on a physical network and can be encrypted to further isolate the logical networks. Logical network addresses are maintained for network nodes and aged based on responses from network nodes. Network nodes can be detected and added to additional logical networks based on network or users needs. Network nodes can be added or removed on a as needs basis. Additionally, logical networks can be removed based on system needs.

A network synchronization method designed to provide synchronization of multiple networks and devices. This invention provides a specific method for determining which nodes are responsible for network synchronization as nodes fail or cannot see each other due to conditions on the network. This allows for fault tolerance in a network in which conditions change dynamically. In addition, this invention uses synchronization codes and network numbers to isolate separate networks using the same physical medium, thus allowing sharing of network resources.
