Latest Patents
One of Horn's notable inventions is the "Multi-table based grant generator for improved granularity in an ATM-PON." This innovative grant generator addresses the challenge of bandwidth granularity while maintaining a simple table approach. It allows for the regulation of upstream transmission of cells in an ATM Passive Optical Network (PON) by linking multiple grant tables with differing bandwidth granularities. This design enables the issuance of variable-sized bandwidth grants, significantly improving efficiency without the need for excessively large grant tables.
Another significant patent is the "Method for solving the music-on-hold problem in an audio conference." This invention provides a solution to the common issue where music-on-hold from an offending conferee disrupts an audio conference call. Horn's method prevents these signals from being transmitted to other participants by temporarily stopping the merging of audio from the offending conferee. Once the music-on-hold is terminated, the conferee can rejoin the call seamlessly.
