Abstract:
A radio frequency front end module is provided for a high power capability and a high signal band selectivity. The front end module includes an external filter and an integrated circuit coupled with the external filter via two external filter leads. The integrated circuit includes a transmit-receive switch, a power amplifier and a low noise amplifier. The transmit-receive switch alternates between coupling an antenna port to a transmit port and coupling the antenna port to a receive port. The power amplifier amplifies a modulated radio frequency signal. The low noise amplifier amplifies a received radio frequency signal when the antenna port is coupled to the receive port. The external filter can be replaced to adapt to various requirements of signal frequency bands, without the need of modifying the layout of the integrated circuit.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for enabling a WLAN client to communicate simultaneously over more than one band at a time are described, where each client has at least one radio that is operational in each supported band. Load balancing based on traffic requirements optimizes the use of the multiple bands.
Abstract:
A dual band LTE small cell base station communicates on both licensed bands and unlicensed bands. The small cell base station modifies the communication protocol utilized by the licensed band to enable communication over an unlicensed band. This modification involves replacing the physical (PHY) layer of the licensed band communication protocol with the PHY layer of a to-be-used protocol in an unlicensed band.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for controlling, in a network device, multiple radio circuits operating in a same or similar frequency band and in close physical proximity. In some embodiments, the radio circuits operate on the same network protocol. The network device can include a coexistence controller coupled to the network circuits. According to some embodiments, the network circuits are each assigned a priority, and the coexistence controller can control operations between the network circuits by selectively adjusting one or more transmission operating parameters of a respective network circuit based on a plurality of operating criteria, which include each network circuit's priority. Among other benefits, the embodiments disclosed herein can increase wireless network bandwidth and reduce mobile device power consumption by providing coordination among the radio circuits so that the transmitting and receiving operations are performed in a way that they do not interfere with their respective antennas.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and systems for Wi-Fi 6E enhancement in contention-based protocol are disclosed. The disclosed methods enable a Wi-Fi 6E system to transmit a Channel Switch Announcement (CSA) to enhance the Wi-Fi performance. The disclosed systems preclude bandwidth reduction and interrupted transmission, which can occur using traditional methods.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for client steering in mesh networks are disclosed. A first access point (AP) of a network sends a quality of service (QoS) data packet to a client device. A received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the client device is captured using the QoS data packet. A distance between the AP and client device is determined using a Wi-Fi round trip time. A time and day of week is determined. Using machine learning, a second AP is identified for steering the client device to, based on the RSSI, the distance, and the time and day of week. A machine learning model is trained to steer each client device to a respective AP for increasing a throughput of the network based on features extracted from client behavior of the client devices. The second AP is connected to the client device.
Abstract:
The disclosed method is performed by a cloud system for changing a registration of a network access device. The method includes initiating a change of a registration of a network access device. The registration is stored at a cloud system and indicates ownership of the network access device by a first user. The method further includes receiving an authorization from the first user to dissociate the ownership of the network access device by the first user, and receiving an indication of a physical reset occurring locally at the network access device. The physical reset allows the first user to dissociate the ownership of the network access device. The method further includes, upon receiving both the authorization by the first user and the indication of the physical reset, releasing the ownership by the first user of the network access device at the cloud system.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and systems for deploying wireless connectivity across a geographical area are disclosed. A bollard for deploying the wireless connectivity includes a modem and a router to receive an Internet connection from an ISP uplink. A PoE switch receives the Internet connection from the router. A first set of wireless backhaul bridges receive the Internet connection from the PoE switch and provide the Internet connection to a second set of wireless backhaul bridges embedded within a set of bollards external to the bollard. A wireless AP receives the Internet connection from the PoE switch. The AP includes a first Wi-Fi router to provide the wireless connectivity, using the Internet connection, to a first set of client devices, and a second Wi-Fi router to provide the wireless connectivity, using the Internet connection, to a second set of client devices.
Abstract:
Introduced here are approaches to improving the coverage of mesh networks that involve repurposing consumer electronic devices as nodes. By repurposing consumer electronic devices that are configured for a Wi-Fi wireless network protocol, the “dead spot” issue that plagues traditional wireless networks can be addressed at minimal cost.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a way to expand the range of Internet of Things devices in a home, office, or structure to the range of a local WiFi network. This is accomplished by generating a network bridge for the devices using machine-to-machine protocols to communicate using the WiFi network backhaul channel. Transmissions in machine-to-machine protocol are tunneled through WiFi communications and extracted by the closest access point. Access points include radios for both WiFi and machine-to-machine protocols.
