TYSONS, Va.,
July 1,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Global
Systems (DGS), an innovator and leader in radio frequency (RF)
environmental awareness technology, has been granted its 200th
patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in support
of the company's advanced spectrum management solutions. This
milestone underlines the company's commitment to overcoming the
challenges of co-existence in increasingly crowded RF environments
through technology advancements such as the application of AI for
autonomous spectrum optimization. DGS now has 15 specific patents
covering AI for spectrum optimization, with another 25 pending.
Leveraging a comprehensive approach to patents, DGS has rapidly
expanded capabilities in the following focus areas:
- The use of AI for dynamic network optimization - moving beyond
the realm of eliminating simple human tasks to leverage true
machine-to-machine connectivity.
- The application of system on chip (SoC) technology - allowing
RF sensor technology to be embedded at the physical and virtual
layer and at the network EDGE in Radio Access Network
infrastructure and connected devices to gain new levels of spectrum
awareness.
- Enhanced billing systems - using advanced awareness to enable
service-level priority billing and increase revenue streams.
- Cutting-edge satellite and Terrestrial Data - to eliminate
satellite-to-ground interference.
Through its patent portfolio, DGS is taking crucial steps to
overcome the challenges experienced by industries, public sector
organizations, and providers as they deploy ever-more demanding
services over already congested RF environments. For example, by
combining data constantly collected from the RF environment with
that from the RAN and EDGE, DGS will make it possible for AI to be
applied to determine spectrum patterns. Leveraging this analysis
and true machine-to-machine connectivity, networks will be
dynamically optimized, enabling the automatic selection of
appropriate available spectrum to deliver the best possible
performance for a growing array of enterprise services.
This work is supported by the adoption of Open RAN and virtual
RAN architectures, which allow third-party software to be
integrated at the RAN level, which was previously impossible using
proprietary RAN technologies.
When applied to shared spectrum, including that of CBRS in
the United States, dynamic network
optimization will help overcome current challenges presented by
static propagation modeling and open the door to new commercial
services in CBRS spectrum, including 3.1-3.45 GHz. This will ensure
that even as Department of Defense (DoD) user prioritization
occurs, commercial services can be dynamically shifted to other
channels to protect mission-critical operations, such as
automation.
In the spectrum management field, DGS leads in all four of the
key spectrum optimization and management technology areas:
- RF Capture: Patents focus on the autonomous collection
of wireless information, signal detection, and storage in a local
or remote database.
- Actionable Data Extraction: Patents focus on extracting
signal characteristics for downstream classification, decoding, and
demodulation. This series also includes interference
identification, AI/ML techniques, reporting, and the utilization of
a distributed sensor array for collection, processing, and
aggregation.
- RF Analysis at the EDGE: This series of patents includes
further EDGE processing, including elements such as geolocation and
multi-node analytics. In one application, aggregated data
determines open channels, a valuable analytical tool supporting
spectrum sharing.
- Process Optimization: The series of patents focus on
pairing environmental awareness with customer policies to optimize
applications. Through understanding a customer's patterns and
needs, environmental data can be leveraged to provide frequency
agility and resiliency.
"We have been very focused on the use of machine learning and AI
wherever possible to further augment our unique ability to increase
spectrum observability and optimize the use of spectrum in a
rapidly changing environment. As this environment becomes
more crowded by the day it will soon need to support dynamic
spectrum sharing, as well as new 5G and 6G services, with many RAN
services moving to the cloud," said Fernando Murias, Chairman and CEO of DGS.
"One advantage of DGS over all competitors is that Neo IP
continuously monitors the evolving patent context in the US and
internationally using proprietary Patent Forecast® data
to identify prior art before every filing," said JiNan Glasgow George. founding partner of Neo
IP, patent counsel for DGS.
Glasgow George and her team have developed a strategic portfolio
of high-quality, high-value patent assets in core technologies
required for wireless communications and spectrum optimization. A
key advantage beyond the early DGS priority dates is that DGS
differentiates from this prior art in every application, ensuring
high-quality patent assets at filing and streamlined prosecution to
issued claims – in less than half the time compared with most
companies.
DGS has consistently led the wireless spectrum US patent sector,
including artificial intelligence (AI) applied to RF spectrum
awareness, ahead of hyperscalers, carriers, and disrupters.
