 | | Robert Foster, Wavtrace's founder and chief technology officer, filed for a series of patents related to adaptive TDD and other aspects of third generation point to multipoint systems of which this patent is the first to be awarded. |
 | | Adaptive TDD is the method of establishing a bi-directional communications link using a single channel, whereby any part of the channel up to its full capacity can be used in either the upstream or downstream direction in response to demand. |
 | | The adaptability of TDD, when combined with other dynamically adjustable system parameters, such as variable information densities, link distances, and the sharing of bandwidth among remote units, allows for an overall system design of unprecedented efficiency, providing 20 to 50% greater throughput than systems using older FDD technology (depending on level of asymmetry). |
