Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses configured to direct wireless communication. In some embodiments, a networking apparatus is configured to generate a plurality of sequences of symbols for transmission to plurality of client devices; transmit the plurality of sequences to the plurality of client device via one or more beams focused toward the client devices; and transmit the first sequence of symbols and the second sequence of symbols at least partly simultaneously.

Directed wireless communication

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses configured to direct wireless communication. In some embodiments, a network apparatus is configured to: receive a first signal transmission from a remote station via a first antenna element of an antenna and a second signal transmission from the remote station via a second antenna element of the antenna simultaneously; determine first signal information for the first transmission; determine second signal information for the second transmission, wherein the second signal information is different than the first signal information; determine a set of weighting values based on the first signal information and the second signal information, wherein the set of weighting values is configured to construct one or more beam-formed transmission signals; and generate the one or more beam-formed transmission signals based on the set of weighting values for transmission to the remote station.

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses configured to direct wireless communication. In some embodiments, a networking apparatus is configured to generate a plurality of sequences of symbols for transmission to plurality of client devices; transmit the plurality of sequences to the plurality of client device via one or more beams focused toward the client devices; receive information regarding the one or more beams from the client devices; and modify at least one of the one or more beams based on the information.

In an implementation of directed wireless communication, a multi-beam directed signal system coordinates directed wireless communication with client devices. A transmit beam-forming network routes data communication transmissions to the client devices via directed communication beams that are emanated from an antenna assembly, and a receive beam-forming network receives data communication receptions from the client devices via the directed communication beams.

In an exemplary apparatus implementation, an apparatus includes: at least one processor; and one or more media including processor-executable instructions that are capable of being executed by the at least one processor, the processor-executable instructions adapted to direct the apparatus to perform actions including: monitoring at least one signal characteristic for multiple signals that relate to a single source address; and detecting a wireless interloper if a discrepancy is determined to exist with regard to the monitored at least one signal characteristic for the multiple signals. In an exemplary access station implementation, an access station is capable of ascertaining at least one signal characteristic for multiple signals, is configured to detect a wireless interloper with regard to a particular address by analyzing the ascertained at least one signal characteristic for the multiple signals, and is adapted to counter the detected wireless interloper.

Detecting wireless interlopers

Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for identifying at least one multipath transmission delay within a reverse path data signal, determining at least one forward path pre-equalization parameter based on the transmission delay, and modifying a forward path data signal based on the forward path pre-equalization parameter. A reverse link transmission is used to help characterize the multipath delays that may exist between communicating devices. The reverse path data signal can include a training sequence or other like known/substantially-known data that can be analyzed to detect transmission delays, especially delays that extend beyond established guard intervals. Such pre-equalization techniques can be advantageously combined, for example, with antenna arrangements that support transmission diversity, spatial division transmission, and/or other like techniques.

Multipath communication methods and apparatuses

Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for use in a wireless routing network. One apparatus, for example, includes an adaptive antenna that is configurable to receive a transmission signal from a transmitter and in response transmit corresponding outgoing multi-beam electromagnetic signals exhibiting a plurality of selectively placed transmission peaks and transmission nulls within a far field region of a coverage area. The adaptive antenna may also be configured to selectively receive at least one incoming electromagnetic signal directed through the coverage area. The adaptive antenna includes at least one antenna array and logic. The antenna array has a plurality of antenna elements. The logic is operatively coupled to the antenna array and configured to selectively control the placement of the transmission peaks and transmission nulls within the outgoing multi-beam electromagnetic signals. The logic may also be configured to selectively control the reception of at least one incoming electromagnetic signal. The logic is configured to be responsive to routing information. Such routing information may be dynamically maintained in one or more routing tables.

Wireless packet switched communication systems and networks using adaptively steered antenna arrays

In an adjacent channel measurement system, a desired channel signal and an adjacent channel signal are generated using a single signal generator. The output from this generator is modulated with a signal from an offset oscillator to produce a carrier and a sideband signal, one in each channel. The ratio of the carrier amplitude to the sideband amplitude is set by the system's modulation index, which is controlled by an audio attenuator on the output of the offset oscillator.

Adjacent channel selectivity signal generator system

A high frequency programmable frequency divider operates in a digital manner to divide the frequency of an applied signal by an integer value greater than five. The frequency divider combines emitter coupled logic (ECL) devices to perform a frequency divide algorithm at frequencies of 220 MHz.
