Mobile Communication Device And Communication Method

View page
US Patent:
8255011, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
May 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/434192
Inventors:
Bryan Lloyd Westcott - Rockwall TX, US
Scott Burkart - Royse City TX, US
Assignee:
L3 Communications Integrated Systems, L.P. - Greenville TX
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
US Classification:
455574, 455458
Abstract:
A mobile communication device includes a processor; a data acquisition device for acquiring data and providing it to the processor; a transceiver for transmitting at least some of the acquired data to an external device; and a low-power clock. The low-power clock counts down a random delay time period and temporarily shifts the processor and the transceiver from low-power sleep modes to active wake modes so that the processor and transceiver can transmit at least some of the acquired data to the external device while in their active wake modes.

Pulse-Level Interleaving For Uwb Systems

US Patent:
20100278214, Nov 4, 2010
Filed:
May 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/387425
Inventors:
Bryan L. Westcott - Rockwall TX, US
Gerald L. Fudge - Rockwall TX, US
Mark A. Chivers - McKinney TX, US
Sujit Ravindran - Dallas TX, US
Scott Burkart - , US
International Classification:
H04B 1/69
US Classification:
375130, 375E01001
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that provide pulse-level interleaving for multi-pulse-per-bit ultra wideband (UWB) transmit and receive processing techniques to provide significantly improved multi-access for UWB systems and, more particularly, for long range UWB systems. A bit stream is processed such that each bit in a bit stream is represented by a plurality of bits in a bit frame and then transmitted using a plurality of UWB pulses for each bit frame. Where on-off-keying (OOK) modulation is used, each logic “1” is sent out as a plurality of pulses, and each logic “0” is sent out as a plurality of non-pulses. Pulse-level interleaving (PLI) of the pulses across multiple bit frames prior to transmission is provided to allow for improved multi-access (MA) by a plurality of UWB transmitters operating at the same time. Rather than attempt to detect each pulse as it arrives at the receiver, the receiver instead first de-interleaves the pulses and then aggregates the energy from the multiple pulses within each bit frame. The aggregated pulse energy is then processed by a pulse detector to detect a pulse. Where OOK modulation is used, this pulse detection detects the existence of a pulse or the lack of a pulse within the bit frame.

Globally-Convergent Geo-Location Algorithm

View page
US Patent:
8188919, May 29, 2012
Filed:
Jun 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/485409
Inventors:
Michael T. Grabbe - Columbia MD, US
Bryan Lloyd Westcott - Rockwall TX, US
Assignee:
L3 Communications Integrated Systems, L.P. - Greenville TX
International Classification:
G01S 3/02
G01S 1/08
G01S 5/04
US Classification:
342450, 342386, 342442
Abstract:
A system and method for estimating a geolocation of a non-cooperative target using any reasonable target location estimate. Collectors may acquire actual signal measurements including a direction of arrival (DOA), a target range, a time difference of arrival (TDOA), a range rate, a range sum, and/or a frequency difference of arrival (FDOA). A processing device may receive the actual signal measurements and navigational data regarding the collectors. Then, the processing device may calculate an estimated target location as a solution to a nonlinear optimization problem where an objective function to be minimized is a weighted sum-of-squares of differences between the actual signal measurements and calculated values corresponding to signal measurements that theoretically should be produced for a particular target location. The algorithm used to solve this problem may be a globally convergent algorithm, such as a Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
