AT&T Mobility II Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 5 -- AT&T Mobility II, Atlanta, has been assigned a patent (8,150,467) developed by seven co-inventors for "devices and methods for asymmetrical multicarrier transmission and reception." The co-inventors are Arthur Brisebois, Cumming, Ga., Yung S. Choi-Grogan, Issaquah, Wash., Melvin Frerking, Norcross, Ga., Thomas Keathley, Mableton, Ga., William G.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Devices and methods which supplement a duplex frequency by providing one or more simplex frequencies and distributing a data load among them are provided. In one aspect, the system includes a server containing a scheduler in communication with a communications device. The server initially communicates with the communications device using a duplex channel, determines when it is no longer optimal to use the single duplex channel, and distributes data among the duplex channel and one or more simplex channels. Before distributing the data, the server sends a schedule to the communications device via the duplex channel, so the communications device knows which bits of data are coming through which channels at which times. A descheduler within the communications device receives the schedule and alerts the communications device to start receiving data on other simplex channels. The descheduler then puts the bits of data in order as they stream in across the duplex and simplex channels."
The patent application was filed on Dec. 12, 2008 (12/334,353). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,150,467&OS=8,150,467&RS=8,150,467

Motorola Solutions Assigned Patent for Determining Position of a Node Based on Aged Position Data
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 5 -- Motorola Solutions, Schaumburg, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,150,378) developed by Guenael T. Strutt, Sanford, Fla., Peter B. Deoge, Orlando, Fla., and Keith J. Goldberg, Casselberry, Fla., for a "determining position of a node based on aged position data."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Techniques are provided for determining a position of a node. For example, the node receives first position data from a first reference node and second position data from a second reference node. The second position data includes second position measurement information and a precision indicator which indicates accuracy of the second position measurement information. The node generates a timestamp which indicates when the second position data was received by node, and storing the second position data and associated timestamp. Upon receiving updated first position data at the node from the first reference node, the node determines whether updated second position data has been received from the second reference node, and if not, generates aged second position data based on the stored second position data and the associated timestamp. The node can then determine its position based on the aged second position data and the updated first position data."
The patent application was filed on Dec. 27, 2007 (11/965,460). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,150,378&OS=8,150,378&RS=8,150,378
