Latest Patents
One of Dehner's latest patents is titled "Multiple access frequency hopping network with interference anticipation." This invention involves spread spectrum packet-switching radio devices that operate in multiple ad-hoc networks or pico-networks sharing frequency-hopping channels and time slots. The technology allows devices to anticipate collision time slots by exchanging frequency hopping sequences using identity codes. This system assigns priorities to operating piconets during collision slots, enabling lower priority devices to abstain from transmitting during predicted collisions. Higher priority devices can utilize enhanced transmission resources, ensuring that collisions are avoided or that the higher priority piconet prevails in a collision.
Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for facilitating handoff in a wireless local area network." This invention provides a method for facilitating handoff from a network access point (NAP) in a frequency-hopped communications system. The process includes providing service between a communications unit (CU) and the NAP, determining when to discontinue the connection based on signal strength or load, and coordinating with neighboring NAPs to ensure seamless service.
