Systems and Methods for Performing Layer One Link Aggregation Over Wireless Links
19 Oct 23
A first layer one link aggregation master comprises a first port coupled to receive customer traffic; a first channel; a second channel; an aggregation engine coupled to the first and second channels; a first switch circuit coupled to the first port and to the first channel, and configured to communicate the customer traffic from the first port over the first channel to the aggregation engine, the aggregation engine including a splitter circuit configured to use layer one information to segment at least a portion of the customer traffic into a first virtual container and a second virtual container, the aggregation engine further including an encapsulation circuit configured to encapsulate the second virtual container using Ethernet standards for transport over the second channel; a radio access card configured to generate an air frame based on the first virtual container for wireless transmission over a first wireless link of a link aggregation group to the receiver; and a second switch circuit coupled to the second channel, and configured to communicate the Ethernet-encapsulated second virtual container over an Ethernet cable to a slave for wireless transmission over a second wireless link of the link aggregation group to the receiver.

Utility
Distributed radio transparent clock over a wireless network
3 Oct 23
An example method comprises receiving, by a first PHY of a first transceiver, a timing packet, timestamping, by the first transceiver, the timing packet and providing the timing packet to a first intermediate node, determining a first offset between the first intermediate node and the first transceiver, updating a first field within the timing packet with the first offset between the first intermediate node and the first transceiver, the offset being in the direction of the second transceiver, receiving the timing packet by a second transceiver, the timing packet including the first field, information within the first field being at least based on the first offset, determining a second offset between the second transceiver and an intermediate node that provided the timing packet to the second transceiver and correcting a time of the second transceiver based on the information within the first field and the second offset.

Systems and Methods for In-line Interference Detection In Point-to-point Radio Links
31 Aug 23
An interference detection system comprises memory storing computer instructions to cause a processor to perform gathering a temporal snapshot of radio parameter values associated with a first site of a point-to-point radio system, the radio parameter values including at least a receive signal level (RSL) value and at least one other radio parameter value correlated with signal degradation; determining whether the RSL value is greater than an RSL threshold; determining whether the other radio parameter value indicates a threshold level of signal degradation; when the RSL is greater than the RSL threshold and the other parameter indicates a threshold level of signal degradation during the temporal snapshot, determining that external interference is present during the temporal snapshot; when the RSL is not greater than the RSL threshold, determining that the external interference is not present; and performing a responsive action to a determination of the external interference being likely present.

Traffic Management Technique for Variable Bandwidth Networks Using RSVP
16 Feb 23
An example system comprises a router configured to receive a bandwidth update associated with a change in bandwidth over a wireless channel, determine if the change in bandwidth identified in the bandwidth update results in bandwidth being over-reserved at at least one priority level, previously reserved bandwidth of the wireless channel being associated with a plurality of different priority levels, the previously reserved bandwidth being previously reserved based on a plurality of path requests from a head end router, each path request including at least one priority level and a bandwidth reservation request, if the change in bandwidth results in bandwidth being over-reserved, then preempt a lowest priority path request, based in the preemption of the lowest priority path request, update reserved bandwidth of the wireless channel of at least one priority level, and provide a message to the head end router regarding the change of bandwidth.
