ROME — ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC has been awarded four individual patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for inventions designed to improve Fifth Generation (5G) and Next-G wireless communication systems performance.
The patents address methods for increasing radio frequency transmission rates and information-handling volume (U.S. Patent No. US 11,271,681 B2), assuring secure machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in autonomous radio networks (U.S. Patent No. 11,272,513 B2), optimizing radio spectrum allocation in real time (U.S. Patent No. 11,240,673 B2), and hardening wireless protocols against electromagnetic interference attacks (U.S. Patent No. 11,115,090 B2).
According to ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC President Andrew L. Drozd, 5G communications system performance can be affected by various technological and environmental factors. U.S. Patent No. US 11,271,681 B2 titled, Rate-2 Full-Diversity Complex Space-Time Block Codes, applies massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna techniques to exploit transmitter diversity with novel code schemes to attain higher transmission rates in 5G systems. The ANDRO inventors, led by Anu Jagannath, include Jithin Jagannath and Drozd.
Drozd adds that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) currently assigns licensed and unlicensed spectrum bands for mobile communication devices to exchange data. ANDRO has studied the associated limitations in wireless network performance during such exchanges. U.S. Patent No. 11,272,513 B2 titled, Adjudication of Access Policies in Wireless Device Networks, leverages block chain technologies to enable secure and efficient M2M crypto transactions in decentralized wireless mesh networks.
The ANDRO inventor team includes local area residents Drozd, Joseph McCoy, Chris Maracchion, Timothy Woods, John Hrabik, and Sean Furman. A related patent applies a policy-based approach to continuously monitor and govern a communication device’s spectrum use in real time providing a considerable spectrum advantage.
U.S. Patent No. 11,240,673 B2 titled, Real Time Spectrum Access Policy Based Governance, enables radio devices in a wireless network to operate over special access frequency bands to alleviate spectrum confliction and eliminate interference that could degrade communication services.
To address interference threats that could hinder communication and pose security risks to wireless systems, U.S. Patent No. 11,115,090 B2 titled, Apparatus and Method for Jammer Resistant Protocol Stack Design, establishes a new protocol method that protects radio devices against such threats. The inventor team includes Jithin Jagannath, Anu Jagannath, and Drozd. The patent is the basis for the design of a new type of compact, interference-resilient adaptive transceiver being developed by ANDRO.
“ANDRO is leveraging its growing portfolio of patents and its military heritage of products to expand its operations,” said Drozd. “The company will be relocating its headquarters from its present location at the Beeches Business Park to a new headquarters facility in Rome during the latter half of 2023.”
