DALLAS -- The U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 7,164,669, entitled "Multi-carrier communication with time division multiplexing and carrier-selective loading," to ADAPTIX, a pioneer in the development of OFDMA and Mobile WiMAX technologies. In the highly competitive space of OFDMA intellectual property, ADAPTIX continues to grow its portfolio focused on Mobile WiMAX and next generation wireless technologies.

Following the initial filing in 2002, U.S. Patent No. 7,164,669 was issued on Jan. 16, 2007 and describes a method for subcarrier allocation and loading for a multi-carrier, multi-subscriber system. The issuance of this patent is significant to the industry in that it provides methods for implementing multi-user Quality of Service (QoS) over OFDMA using information such as transmission rates, signal and noise conditions and traffic loading.

"Our scientists and engineers continue to build on our robust intellectual property rights portfolio that includes important wireless broadband patents," said ADAPTIX President and CEO Michael Pisterzi. "In the realm of OFDMA, which is emerging as the foundation of next generation mobile wireless broadband technologies, ADAPTIX has created substantial IPR over the past seven years. That IPR has been implemented in our products, including the award-winning BX-3000 Mobile WiMAX platform."
