Title: Selective antenna coupling system and method
Inventor: LEMENSE THOMAS J
IPC: H03K17/81
Filed: 2006-05-11
Abstract: A selective antenna coupling system or method comprises a plurality of antennae where a transmission signal source is connected to each antenna via a respective controllable saturable reactor 75, 80, 83. Each saturable reactor 75, 80, 83 includes load 76, 81, 84 and control 77, 82, 85 windings which can be operated to selectively couple the transmit signal from the said source to its associated antenna. The saturable reactors may be controlled by selected control currents to selectively attenuate (zero current for zero signal) or non-attenuation (predetermined saturation current for an un-attenuated signal) of the transmit signal from the said source. The coupling system can be operated to selectively supply one or more of the antennae with different transmit signal amplitudes from the transmission signal source, simultaneously. The system may use voltage to current converters to provide the control current to respective control windings 77, 82, 85. The system and method can be used in a local or non-localised mode of operation to interact with a transponder, possibly in a key fob, to provide positional information which can be used in a passive entry or control system of a vehicle.

Title: Maintaining consistent network connections while moving through wireless networks
Inventor: KANT NISHI
IPC: H04W76/02
Filed: 2007-06-18
Abstract: A proxy server (208) provides an anchor point for access network changes in a wireless environment. One example embodiment uses the concept of proxy server in order to preserve a uniform connectivity to a gateway service node while roaming across different networks through a handover mechanism. In one embodiment, the client connects to a proxy server through one access network (204), and the proxy server manages and keeps track of the user session toward the gateway service node. The client then connects to any packet service network, including Internet, through the proxy. When the client moves from one network to another, it indicates the change to the proxy and proxy, using a handover mechanism, switches the access network while maintaining the user session toward the gateway service node. The handover mechanism involved is efficient, with minimal messaging overhead, and preserves the application layer IP address of the client. Therefore, the data connections do not suffer from interruptions due to roaming through different networks and the service is seamlessly continued.
