Title: Terence Douglas Todd: Innovator in Mobile Communication

Introduction

Terence Douglas Todd is an accomplished inventor based in Hamilton, Canada, known for his significant contributions to mobile communication technology. With a total of 22 patents to his name, Todd has established himself as a key figure in the field of wireless communication, particularly in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of mobile stations.

Latest Patents

Among his latest innovations, Todd has developed a method for reducing handoff latency for a mobile station. This patent involves a mobile station being assisted in performing a handoff from its current access point to a new access point in a different extended service set (ESS). The process utilizes a HandOver Mediator, which works alongside a handover server, allowing for a seamless authentication and association process while masquerading as the mobile station itself. The resulting parameters enable the mobile station to complete the handoff with minimized latency.

Additionally, Todd has patented techniques for wireless access point methods and apparatus using dynamically-activated service intervals. This invention describes how a mobile communication device interacts with a wireless access point by receiving data that indicates several activated service intervals within a superframe. During these intervals, the mobile device can effectively access the communication medium without interference, thereby streamlining the connection process during designated intervals and conserving power during inactive periods.
