Systems And Methods For Wireless Transfer Of Content Between Aircraft

US Patent:
8340067, Dec 25, 2012
Filed:
Aug 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/219834
Inventors:
Wladyslaw Jan Buga - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Tracy Raymond Trent - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Proximetry, Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04W 4/00
US Classification:
370338
Abstract:
A system for wirelessly transferring content between aircraft. The system includes a first local controller positioned on a first aircraft of the plurality of aircraft and a respective second local controller positioned on each of the other aircraft of the plurality of aircraft. The aircraft are positioned on the ground within a boundary of an airport. The first local controller cannot detect a regional controller or any of the second local controllers. The first local controller: identifies content assigned to but not available on the first local controller and the one or more second local controllers, the content assigned by an administrator; detects content available on the first local controller and the one or more second local controllers; and controls transfer of content between the first local controller and the one or more second local controllers.

System And Method For Wirelessly Transferring Content To And From An Aircraft

US Patent:
8116797, Feb 14, 2012
Filed:
Dec 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/343662
Inventors:
Dan Reed - Skyforest CA, US
Bradley Foreman - Mission Viejo CA, US
Wladyslaw Jan Buga - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Tracy Raymond Trent - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Thales Avionics, Inc. - Irvine CA
Proximetry, Inc. - San Diego CA
International Classification:
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:
455517, 455500, 455431, 455 301, 455 303, 4554141, 370310, 370328, 370329, 370315
Abstract:
A system and method for wirelessly transferring content to and from a vehicle, in particular, an aircraft. The content includes, for example, data, voice, video and multimedia, that can be wirelessly exchanged over a wireless communication link between an aircraft and a ground station while the aircraft is at or near a parking gate, or between aircraft. In an example, the system employs long distance metropolitan area technology, such as IEEE Standard 802. 16 wireless technology, to increase transfer range. The parameter of the wireless communication link can be adjusted based on, for example, the location of the link. The content can further be provided between the vehicle and ground station based on priorities, such as the available link speed, importance of the information, and/or anticipated connection time between the vehicle and ground station. A media creation center can be networked to a plurality of base stations.
