Level 3 Communications Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- Level 3 Communications, Broomfield, Colo., has been assigned a patent (8,144,598) developed by nine co-inventors for a "routing engine for telecommunications network." The co-inventors are Brett P. Hollman, Louisville, Colo., Jeffrey L. Martin, Frederick, Colo., George T. Joseph, Denver, Alex J. Henes, Denver, Christopher M. Bonewitz, Golden, Colo., Kaveh Asalian, Broomfield, Colo., Geoff R. Yaworski, Denver, Gary L. Ryczek, Denver, and Colin G. Train, Aurora, Colo.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A system for automated installation of a communication line using an optimal route between a source location and a destination location is disclosed. The system includes a routing engine providing an automated design process for rendering the optimal route. The routing engine utilizes a routing algorithm to select the optimal route from a graph of capacity links defining a plurality of possible routes between the source and destination locations. If, at any time during the design process, the optimal route or capacity links defining the optimal route are detected as unavailable for any reason, the routing engine re-initiates the design process and thereafter selects a new optimal route based upon a new capacity graph built without the previously unavailable capacity link. Once designed, the available optimal route is provided to a command and control engine, which, in turn, manages the installation of the communication line using the optimal route. The command and control engine manages the process for assigning the optimal route in the provisioning system."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 4, 2009 (12/554,804). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,144,598.PN.&OS=PN/8,144,598&RS=PN/8,144,598

GoGo Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- GoGo, Itasca, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,145,208) developed by six co-inventors for an "air-to-ground cellular communication network terrestrial base station having multi-dimensional sectors with alternating radio frequency polarizations." The co-inventors are Anand K. Chari, Bartlett, Ill., Harold Grant Saroka, Ashburn, Va., Tim Joyce, Naperville, Ill., Patrick J. Walsh, Naperville, Ill., Yong Liu, Schaumburg, Ill., and Daniel Bernard McKenna, Vail, Colo.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The Multi-Link Aircraft Cellular System makes use of multiple physically separated antennas mounted on the aircraft, as well as the use of additional optional signal isolation and optimization techniques to improve the call handling capacity of the Air-To-Ground cellular communications network. These additional techniques can include polarization domain and ground antenna pattern shaping (in azimuth, in elevation, or in both planes). Further, if code domain separation is added, dramatic increases in capacity are realized. Thus, the Air-To-Ground cellular communications network can increase its capacity on a per aircraft basis by sharing its traffic load among more than one cell or sector and by making use of multiple physically separated antennas mounted on the aircraft, as well as the use of additional optional signal isolation and optimization techniques."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 31, 2006 (11/590,146). 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=8,145,208&OS=8,145,208&RS=8,145,208

Qualcomm Assigned Patent for Method and Apparatus for Reducing Frequency Space from Frequency Search
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 29 -- Qualcomm, San Diego, has been assigned a patent (8,145,132) developed by Messay Amerga, San Diego, Vivek Chawla, San Diego, and Deepali Garg, Boulder, Colo., for a "method and apparatus for reducing frequency space from frequency search."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and apparatus for reducing frequency space from code space search is disclosed in a wireless network. The method and apparatus reduces the frequency space without compromising the probability of detection, so that user equipment can expedite system acquisition and reduce power consumption. To reduce the frequency space, the described aspects note that the power spectral density of the WCDMA signal is essentially flat within the channel bandwidth. By capturing in-phase quadrature samples and doing frequency domain analysis of the signal in bandwidth around the center frequency, to the described aspects can eliminate some channels from the WCDMA code space search during frequency scan."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 17, 2008 (12/212,064). 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=8145132.PN.&OS=PN/8145132&RS=PN/8145132
