Multiplexing Terminals In A Distributed Network
view source
US Patent:

6407992, Jun 18, 2002
Filed:

Aug 11, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/637734
Inventors:

Eliezer Pasternak - Palo Alto CA
Itai Aaronson - Burlingame CA
Gideon Ben-Efraim - Cupertino CA
Assignee:

Netro Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:

H04J 312
US Classification:

370338, 370466, 370524
Abstract:

A method of multiplexing multiple terminals in a distributed network includes transporting user traffic and telephony signaling information. Transporting user traffic includes converting the user traffic into ATM cells, passing the ATM cells over a wireless link to a TDM port in an ATM multiplexer wherein the ATM multiplexer includes an ATM circuit emulation service, and converting the ATM cells into user traffic. Transporting telephony signaling information includes extracting the telephony signaling information from a user interface, passing the telephony signaling information to a base station using an ATM virtual circuit, processing and aggregating a number of telephony signaling information into a single channel, and transmitting the single channel to the ATM multiplexer.

Microwave Radio System With Software Configuration Of Operating Parameters
view source
US Patent:

56302126, May 13, 1997
Filed:

Nov 20, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/561228
Inventors:

Gideon Ben-Efraim - Cupertino CA
Assignee:

P-Com, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:

H04B 140
US Classification:

455127
Abstract:

Structure for controlling the output power from a microwave transmitter uses a digital value transmitted under control of software to an outdoor unit of a transmitter thereby to allow the power output of the transmitter to be changed under control of the software. The digital value is generated by an indoor unit of the transmitter or a remote transmitter across a link or elsewhere in a network. Other parameters of the transmitter can also be varied under control of the software. These parameters include the frequency and muting as well as the generation of test signals at the transmitter. In one embodiment, the outdoor unit contains a non-volatile memory in which the digital value is stored and a microprocessor which generates a control signal from the digital value to set the output power of the transmitter. Software executed by the microprocessor can correct the control signal for temperature so that the output power of the transmitter does not change when outdoor temperature changes.

Wireless Atm Metropolitan Area Network

US Patent:

59369493, Aug 10, 1999
Filed:

Sep 5, 1996
Appl. No.:

8/708593
Inventors:

Eliezer Pasternak - Palo Alto CA
Gideon Ben-Efraim - Palo Alto CA
Stuart M. Feeney - Cupertino CA
Assignee:

Netro Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:

H04L 1228
US Classification:

370328
Abstract:

The present invention provides an efficient point-to-multipoint microwave ATM network including a base station (BS) broadcasting a continuous transmission with a sector antenna. The system uses time division multiplex (TDM) for downstream transmission and time division multiple access (TDMA) for upstream transmission. The downstream transmission consists of ATM cells encapsulated in MAC protocol data units (PDUs) for forward error correction (FEC) and synchronization. Small Subscriber Terminals (STs), including Subscriber Radio Units (SRUs), receive the broadcast and pass it to a Subscriber Access System (SAS) that drops the ATM cells addressed only to them. To allow strong FEC protection and to maintain the same symbol rate as the downstream transmission without sacrificing bandwidth, a modified trellis code modulation technique, which incorporates Reed Solomon coding, is used during upstream transmission.

US Patent:

57107564, Jan 20, 1998
Filed:

Oct 3, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/538327
Inventors:

Eliezer Pasternak - Palo Alto CA
Gideon Ben-Efraim - Cupertino CA
Assignee:

Netro Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:

G06F 1110
H04L 1256
US Classification:

370216
Abstract:

A digital radio link suitable for transmitting digital voice or data signals includes an input circuit for ATM or frame relay cells/frames attached to an ATM or Frame Relay network, a forward error correction encoder and decoder with indication of uncorrectable blocks due to large bit errors such as burst errors, a payload processing module for modifying bits in the frames or cells so that frames/cells extracted from a forward error correction ("FEC") block containing bit errors will not be misinserted by the network.
