Inventor: DUNBRIDGE BARRY
IPC: H01Q3/30
Filed: 1996-08-20
Abstract: A cellular communication system is provided for
transmitting a large number of highly directive
personalized communication beams throughout an
original geographic cell of the cellular communication
system. The system advantageously utilizes a phased
array antenna positioned at a center location of the
cell in conjunction with a spread spectrum
communications method which includes code division
multiple access techniques for increasing user
capacity. Each of the communication beams represents
user signals assigned to specific users located within
the original geographic cell and are adjustable in the
user's directions. The total number of the
communication beams may equal the number of users
within the cell. An omnidirectional antenna is
positioned in close proximity to the center location
of the cell for transmitting and receiving an
omnidirectional communication beam for communication
with users located within approximately one half of a
mile of the center location. A plurality of digital
beam forming networks are employed for feeding the
phased array antenna with the user signals forming the
personalized communication beams.

Abstract: A computer network for high-speed data
communication, has a data transmission cable with a root
and at least one leaf node. A signal conversion system
(SCS) is attached to the root, and at least one client
station is attached to a leaf node. The SCS consists of
a transmitter that transmits down-stream data onto said
cable in a first frequency band; and a receiver that
receives data from said client stations on a second
frequency band; wherein said down-stream data includes
synchronization and acknowledgement signals. Each client
station has a receiver that receives data on said first
frequency band, and a transmitter that transmits data on
a second frequency band according to synchronization
signals received on said first frequency band. 
     The computer network is controlled by a method
comprising transmitting downstream from the signal
conversion system (SCS) a control signal having
synchronization information on a first frequency band,
receiving said control signal at client stations,
transmitting up-stream from said client stations to said
SCS on a second frequency band, the transmission being
timed with respect to said synchronization information,
and acknowledging on said first frequency band successful
receipt by said SCS of said up-stream transmission. 
     The client station's transmission packets may
include requests for reserved slots on said second
frequency band for subsequent transmissions, and the SCS
has a scheduler operable to determine a start time for
requested reserved slots, and transmits the start time
for the requested reserved slots. The client stations 
are operable to wait to continue transmission until after
waiting for the start time. 
     Other systems and methods are disclosed.

IPC: H04Q7/34

Abstract: The system of the invention has particular application to a wide area
network (WAN) where call routing information often changes in one local area
network (LAN) (e.g. a switching system) while other LANs (e.g. cellular
communication systems) are unaware of the changes. Because of the heavy flow of
traffic in such networks, the minimization of administrative traffic data is desirable.
The invention solves the need for constant updating and auditing of the LANs in the
WAN. One LAN is considered the master LAN for a given parameter and contains
an accurate directory of administrative data for that parameter. Each of the other
LANs operate on the assumption that the administrative or directory information it
contains is correct. If this assumption is wrong for a particular parameter and a LAN
contains incorrect information, in response to a communication to or from the LAN,
the system: 1) recognizes that the information relating to the parameter is incorrect;
2) determines the correct information and completes the communication based upon
the correct information; and 3) updates the LAN with the correct information from
the master LAN such that the next time the same communication is attempted the
LAN has the correct information. In this manner, the LANs are updated on a need to
know basis only after an actual communication is attempted thereby eliminating the
constant transmission of administrative information between the LANs that exists in
the prior art systems.

Abstract: The present invention includes an adaptive filter
(40) for use within an echo canceler. The adaptive filter
operates in a first mode for performing Decimation Echo
Location (DEL). During the DEL mode, high energy regions
occurring within the echo impulse response are identified
over an extended time range through signal decimation. The
adaptive filter then operates in a second mode for
performing Partitioned Echo Cancellation (PEC). During the
PEC mode, filter coefficients not associated with these
high energy regions are modeled as zero while the
identified high energy region filter coefficients of the
impulse response are partitioned and convolution of the
reference signal, x(n), with the impulse response signal,
h(n), is accomplished by performing convolution on only
those samples in the reference signal memory block (50)
that correspond to respective high energy region filter
coefficients in the adaptive filter block (56) .
Accordingly, the adaptive filter of the present invention
extends the tail length time range of conventional
adaptive filters while not increasing the number of
required filter coefficient taps and substantially reduces
the number of convolution multiply accumulate operations
and coefficient update calculations required for
performing echo cancellation over the extended time range.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hologram optical pick-up using two
laser sources (11, 11'). In a hologram optical pick-up
according to the present invention, laser beams having
different wavelength, which are emitted from first and
second laser sources (11, 11') and focused by an objectiveive
lens (16) on a disc (17, 18), are reflected at a
surface of the disc (17, 18). The reflected laser beams
are diffracted by a first hologram (13) or a second
hologram (14), and then received by a first photo
detector (19) or a second photo detector (20). Accordingly,
laser beams having different wavelengths according
to a thickness and a recording surface of the disc
are emitted by the first laser source (11) or the second
laser source (11') to compensate for aberration of laser
beam due to the thickness of the disc (17, 18). Thereby,
the hologram optical pick-up can reproduce data from
discs (17, 18) having different recording surface without
loss of data. Also, the hologram optical pick-up can
record and reproduce data on/from any disc under best
environment and can increase efficiency of the laser
beam.
