216 results about "Fixed wireless" patented technology

Fixed wireless is the operation of wireless communication devices or systems used to connect two fixed locations (e.g., building to building or tower to building) with a radio or other wireless link, such as laser bridge. Usually, fixed wireless is part of a wireless LAN infrastructure. The purpose of a fixed wireless link is to enable data communications between the two sites or buildings. Fixed wireless data (FWD) links are often a cost-effective alternative to leasing fiber or installing cables between the buildings.

Methods and apparatus for access node selection and link optimization in quasi-licensed wireless systems

Methods and apparatus for access node selection, and optimization of antenna direction and performance, within a power-limited system. In one embodiment, the system utilizes “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a controller that dynamically adjusts antenna direction for receiving / transmitting information at an installed fixed wireless apparatus (FWA) at user or subscriber premises. In one variant, the FWA receives data on candidate access nodes (CBSDs), and includes controller logic that compares received power levels for candidate access nodes with the power levels estimated from path loss models, and optimizes antenna azimuth to maximize the antenna gain towards the selected access nodes. As such, service calls to optimize antenna performance after initial installation are not required, and network operating expenses are thereby reduced. Dynamic node reselection and optimization may also be used in instances of CBSD / spectrum withdrawal, changes in physical environment, and other applications.
