Filed:

Mar 3, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/793546

Inventors:

Alexander I. Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter G. Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 10/08
H04B 17/00

US Classification:

398 20, 398 21

Abstract:

A system and method for performing an in-service optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) and/or insertion loss (IL) measurement(s) using the same wavelength as the data traffic for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint optical fiber networks. The OTDR or IL sessions are multiplexed in accordance with the network protocol in use to avoid any distortion of data transmissions.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jul 17, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/764228

Inventors:

Alexander I. Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter G. Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04J 14/00

US Classification:

398 72, 398 71, 398 66

Abstract:

A system for powering a network element of a fiber optic communication network. When communication data is transferred between a central office (CO) and a subscriber gateway using a network element to convert optical to electrical (O-E) and electrical to optical (E-O) signals between a fiber from the central office and copper wires or coax cable from the subscriber gateway, techniques related to local powering of a network element or drop site by a subscriber or customer remote device or gateway are provided. Certain advantages and/or benefits are achieved using the present invention, such as freedom from any requirement for additional meter installations or meter connection charges. Additionally the system is free of monthly meter charges and does not require a separate power network.

US Patent:

7925162, Apr 12, 2011

Filed:

Jul 6, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/886514

Inventors:

Alexander I. Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter G. Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 10/20
H04J 14/00

US Classification:

398 60

Abstract:

An optical local area network includes a passive optical distribution fabric interconnecting a plurality of nodes including a first node and a plurality of remaining nodes, a hub that includes the first node and a control module, and a client network adapter coupled to each of the remaining nodes for responding to the control module. The control module controls timing for each of the client network adapters to transmit signals over the passive optical distribution fabric and distribution of signals to each of the nodes.

Appl. No.:

12/646978

Inventors:

Alexander I Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter G Soto - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 10/00

US Classification:

398115, 398116, 398130, 398138

Abstract:

Passive optical networks have optical budget loss limitations that affect the ability of a Service Provider to serve a limited number of clients over a limited range. The deployment of passive optical networks is constrained by potential physical rights of way issues. A method and system for augmenting communication links of a passive optical network are disclosed which utilize radio frequency communication enabling an increase in the number of clients on the network as well as increasing the reach or range of the network while potentially eliminating physical rights of way issues.

Filed:

Feb 28, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/714543

Inventors:

Alexander I Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter G Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04J 14/00

US Classification:

398171, 398 38, 398 71

Abstract:

A system for powering a network element of a fiber optic wide area network is disclosed. When communication data is transferred between a central office (CO) and a subscriber terminal using a network element to convert optical to electrical (O-E) and electrical to optical (E-O) signals between a fiber from the central office and twisted wire pair, coaxial cable or Ethernet cable transmission lines from the subscriber terminal, techniques related to local powering of a network element or drop site by the subscriber terminal or subscriber premise remote powering device are provided. Certain advantages and/or benefits are achieved using the present invention, such as freedom from any requirement for additional meter installations or meter connection charges and does not require a separate power network.

US Patent:

20050019036, Jan 27, 2005

Filed:

Jun 10, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/865547

Inventors:

Alexander Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04B010/00

US Classification:

398135000

Abstract:

Processing a received optical signal in an optical communication network includes equalizing a received optical signal to provide an equalized signal, demodulating the equalized signal according to an m-ary modulation format to provide a demodulated signal, decoding the demodulated signal according to an inner code to provide an inner-decoded signal, and decoding the inner-decoded signal according to an outer code. Other aspects include other features such as equalizing an optical channel including storing channel characteristics for the optical channel associated with a client, loading the stored channel characteristics during a waiting period between bursts on the channel, and equalizing a received burst from the client using the loaded channel characteristics.

Appl. No.:

10/867107

Inventors:

Alexander Soto - San Diego CA, US
Walter Soto - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

H04B010/06

US Classification:

398214000

Abstract:

A converter includes an optical fiber input port; an optical detector configured to receive an optical signal over the optical fiber input port and generate a first electrical signal carrying information; and a mixer in electrical communication with the optical detector configured to mix the first electrical signal with a radio frequency carrier wave producing a second electrical signal for transmission by an antenna. The second electrical signal carries the same information as the first electrical signal.
