20090252134 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A MOBILE, BROADBAND, ROUTABLE INTERNET - In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile broadband routable internet (MBRI) providing for carrier-grade, networked, broadband, IP-routable communication among a plurality of mobile devices, where the mobile devices may represent a plurality of nodes that are linked together through a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Mobile devices may operate as peers in a peer-to-peer network, with full IP routing capabilities enabled within each mobile device, thereby allowing routing of IP-based traffic, including deployment of applications, to the mobile device without need for infrastructure conventionally required for mobile ad hoc networks, such as cellular telephony infrastructure. Full IP-routing to mobile devices may allow seamless integration to the fixed Internet, such as through fixed or mobile access points, such as for backhaul purposes. Thus, the MBRI may function as a standalone mobile Internet, without connection to the fixed Internet, or as an IP-routable extension of another network, whether it be the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, a cellular network, a personal area network, or some other type of network that is capable of integration with an IP-based network. | 10-08-2009 |

20110110273 | WAVEFORM FOR USE IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS - A waveform and related devices and methods are disclosed for dynamic use of an air interface in a mobile ad hoc network. The waveform includes a dual preamble sequence enclosing self-discovery data that characterizes modulation for a subsequent data signal. The preamble is designed so that the circular correlation of the preamble sequence with itself is an impulse, and the first preamble sequence is a complex conjugate of the second preamble sequence. The preamble sequence can be used to bound a data packet on both sides so that detection of the impulse yields a window in which a data packet can be located, while the self discovery data provides information to extract the data signal from the wireless waveform. In one aspect, the preamble may be implemented using a CHIRP sequence that is a perfect square for more efficient implementation in a wireless modem. In addition, CHIRP sequences for different nodes can be generated with low cross-correlation to reduce interference among nodes in the MANET. The preamble may also support channel sounding or equalization to reverse amplitude or phase distortion in a channel. | 05-12-2011 |
20110117852 | AD HOC WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - Various techniques are disclosed for improving the use of a dynamic, multi-channel communication medium in a wireless ad hoc network or the like. In general, metadata including node and/or network information or the like is shared among nodes in a network, and this data is used to improve throughput, reduce spectral footprint or power footprint for a group of nodes, or otherwise improve performance of the network. | 05-19-2011 |
20110164527 | ENHANCED WIRELESS AD HOC COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES - Enhancements are disclosed for wireless ad hoc networking including optimized wireless routing, multicast routing, quick network entry, use of contention domains and node weighting for improved time slot scheduling, and the like. Quality of service may be supported at each node and within scheduling algorithms across a group of nodes in order to provide a number of service levels to network users according to traffic type or the like. These and other enhancements may be used individually or in combination to improve operation of a wireless ad hoc network and support scalability, routing, traffic management, quality of service delivery, and other features. | 07-07-2011 |

20120127977 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF TIME IN A MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK - Methods and systems are disclosed herein for synchronizing network time in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Each node in the MANET may be synchronized with all of its neighbors for effective communications. More specifically, a local timing reference may be adjusted according to measured errors in incoming control packets so that time slotted transmissions can be scheduled without collisions with other nodes. The method and system is a low overhead protocol that only requires a small amount of data attached to each scheduled transmission avoiding the requirement for separate messaging. This may reduce the overhead of maintaining the MANET providing additional efficiency and robustness. | 05-24-2012 |
