US Patent:

6493377, Dec 10, 2002
Filed:

Dec 6, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/729911
Inventors:

Donald L. Schilling - Palm Beach Gardens FL
Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA
Assignee:

Linex Technologies, Inc. - West Long Branch NJ
International Classification:

H04B 169
US Classification:

375130, 370342, 370353, 370441
Abstract:

A distributed network, spread-spectrum system comprising a plurality of remote stations and a plurality of nodes. One or more hub node(s) connect(s) to a central telephone office. A nodes spread-spectrum transceiver communicates, using packets having spread-spectrum modulation, over radio waves, with the plurality of remote stations. Each packet has a source address and a destination address, and may have other information such as a header, start of message, end of message, flow-control information, forward error correction, and message data. A store-and-forward subsystem stores and forwards one or more packets to and from the remote station. The store-and-forward subsystem stores and forwards the one or more packets to and from another node in the plurality of nodes. A flow-control subsystem controls the store-and-forward subsystem, to store each packet arriving at the spread-spectrum transceiver. The flow-control subsystem communicates traffic information between each of the nodes in the plurality of nodes.

US Patent:

6895037, May 17, 2005
Filed:

Sep 6, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/946841
Inventors:

Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA, US
Assignee:

Linez Linex Technologies, Inc. - West Long Branch NJ
International Classification:

H04B001/707
US Classification:

375143
Abstract:

A spread-spectrum system having a transmitted data rate determined by an error rate syndrome at a spread-spectrum receiver. Data are demultiplexed into a plurality of data channels, and spread-spectrum processed as a plurality of spread-spectrum channels. A combiner combines the plurality of spread-spectrum channels as a code-division-multiplexed signal. At a receiver, the code-division-multiplexed signal is despread into a plurality of despread channels. A multiplicity of adders, which is electronically controlled by an adder-control signal, adds several of the despread channels to generate a multiplicity of added channels. A syndrome signal is generated from an error rate of the multiplicity of added channels. From the syndrome signal, a desired-data rate is determined for the spread-spectrum transmitter.

US Patent:

7187706, Mar 6, 2007
Filed:

Oct 2, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/968832
Inventors:

Donald L. Schilling - Palm Beach Gardens FL, US
Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA, US
Assignee:

Linex Technologies, Inc. - West Long Branch NJ
International Classification:

H04B 1/69
H04Q 7/00
H04Q 7/20
US Classification:

375141, 370332, 455437, 455439
Abstract:

A spread-spectrum, code-division-multiple-access (CDMA), system with a remote station (RS) communicating with a first base station (BS). The remote station receives the first BS-packet signal, and transmits a first RS-packet signal to the first base station. The first RS-packet signal is spread by a first RS-chip-sequence signal at a second frequency. The first base station receives the first RS-packet signal. The first base station stores and forwards the despread first RS-packet signal to a central office (CO). The remote station monitors control and packet transmission channels of other base stations in geographic proximity to the remote station. Each of the base stations transmit BS-packet signals. The remote station determines, based on signal metrics and available capacity, when to change from the first base station to the second base station. The second base station stores and then forwards the despread second RS-packet signal to the central office.

US Patent:

7613247, Nov 3, 2009
Filed:

Apr 25, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/113956
Inventors:

Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA, US
Assignee:

Linex Technologies, Inc. - West Long Branch NJ
International Classification:

H04B 7/02
US Classification:

375267
Abstract:

A communications system and method having a transmitted data rate determined by an error rate syndrome at a receiver. Data are demultiplexed into a plurality of data channels, and processed as a plurality of channels. A combiner combines the plurality of channels as a multiplexed signal. At a receiver, the multiplexed signal is despread into a plurality of despread channels. A syndrome signal is generated from an error rate of the channels. From the syndrome signal, a desired-data rate is determined for the transmitter.

US Patent:

7746823, Jun 29, 2010
Filed:

Aug 31, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/551108
Inventors:

Donald L. Schilling - Palm Beach Gardens FL, US
Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA, US
Assignee:

Linex Technologies, Inc. - West Long Branch NJ
International Classification:

H04W 4/00
US Classification:

370328, 455522, 370344
Abstract:

System and method for reducing acquisition time of packets in a FDD system, such as a spread-spectrum or OFDM system. A remote unit transmits a multi-tone packet. The multi-tone packet has a plurality of tones with each tone having a different power level, and at a different frequency, from other tones in the plurality of tones. The base station receives the multi-tone packet. The base station compares the plurality of tones from the received multi-tone packet to a threshold or other selection criteria. A tone is selected from the plurality of tones meeting desired selection criteria. Based on the selected tone, the base station transmits a BS packet with the BS packet having power information from the power level of the selected tone.

US Patent:

7876709, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:

Oct 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/973305
Inventors:

Donald L. Schilling - Palm Beach Gardens FL, US
Joseph Garodnick - Centerville MA, US
International Classification:

H04L 12/28
US Classification:

370254, 370328, 370338
Abstract:

A mesh network communication system including one or more mesh networks and a plurality of remote subscriber users employing wireless, spread spectrum type communications for communicating with an access node in one of the mesh networks. The remote subscriber units can be mobile and can use handover to change nodes within a mesh network without a disruption of communication. The system and methods determine the location of a remote subscriber unit in a mesh network by the remote subscriber unit providing the access node with its home address and ID such that if the access node is not the home node, the home node is notified of the visiting node address such that the home node always knows the location of any remote subscriber unit based at the home node. Accordingly, communication between remote subscriber units where one of the remote subscriber units is not currently located at its home node can be accomplished without using the home node.
