Systems And Methods For Managing Network Connectivity For Mobile Users

View page
US Patent:
20030061363, Mar 27, 2003
Filed:
Sep 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/960258
Inventors:
Paramvir Bahl - Issaquah WA, US
Allen Miu - Cambridge MA, US
International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709/229000, 713/201000
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for managing network connectivity for mobile users, particularly when a mobile user roams between two networks or between two subnets of a network. An announcer signal is broadcast by a host organization. The announcer signal includes a network identifier, an authorizer address and a verifier address. A mobile client monitors for the announcer signal and, when detected, provides an option to connect to the network via the authorizer. Once authorization is obtained, the mobile client communicates with the network through the verifier. The verifier received tagged data packets from a mobile client and only accepts the data packets if a valid tag (created with an authorization key) is included therewith. Multiple verifiers may be used to provide load balancing and fault tolerance (in the event a verifier fails). If a mobile client disconnects from a network and later reconnects, the mobile client does not have to be re-authorized if the mobile client still has a valid authorization key.

Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F011/30

US Patent:
20050169209, Aug 4, 2005
Filed:
Jan 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/769090
Inventors:
Allen Miu - Cambridge MA, US
John Apostolopoulos - Palo Alto CA, US
Mitchell Trott - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
H04Q007/00
US Classification:
370328000
Abstract:
Methods and systems for multi-access point transmission of data using a plurality of access points are disclosed. Methods include identifying a plurality of access points to be used cooperatively in combination with each other for the transmission of data to a receiver. The transmission of the data to the receiver via the plurality of access points is enabled utilizing at least one multi-access point transmission scheme.

Establishing A Mesh Network With Wired And Wireless Links

US Patent:
20110119360, May 19, 2011
Filed:
Nov 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/947800
Inventors:
William S. Kish - Saratoga CA, US
Allen Miu - Fremont CA, US
Ron Mok - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/177
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709221, 709244, 709220
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention solve problems experienced by mesh networks concerning loop formation where two nodes are connected by both a wired and wireless link. The present invention prevents or ‘breaks’ a loop that that would otherwise result in continually repeating and delayed network data transmission.

Allen Miu - Fremont CA, US
Ron Mok - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709243
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention solve problems experienced by mesh networks concerning loop formation where two nodes are connected by both a wired and wireless link. The present invention prevents or ‘breaks’ a loop that that would otherwise result in continually repeating and delayed network data transmission.

Remote Cable Access Point Reset

View page
US Patent:
20120278654, Nov 1, 2012
Filed:
May 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/461679
Inventors:
Ming-Jye Shen - San Jose CA, US
Allen Miu - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 11/14
US Classification:
714 23, 714E11113
Abstract:
The system monitors a wireless device, detects when the device has failed or is not operating properly, and is able to remotely reset the device. The device may be reset remotely without a technician required to physically attend to the device. This out of band management allows for quicker, cheaper and more efficient handling of undesired states of a device, such as failure to operate. For a modem, the system may detect that the modem is not broadcasting a signal or is not communicating with the Internet or other network. The reset may be implemented through an access point in communication with the malfunctioning modem. For an access point, the system may detect that the access point is not communicating with a modem or another access point. The reset may be implemented by a neighboring access point or modem.
