Cellular conversion apparatus for different communication protocols
The granted patent US12047476B2 outlines a method and system for providing cellular service to third generation (3G) devices through a cellular converter module. The method involves several key steps, including the provisioning of both 3G and alternative cellular communication circuitry, which may be based on fourth generation (4G LTE) or fifth generation (5G) protocols. The process begins with the reception of a 3G cellular signal from the device, followed by the authentication of the device for communication. Subsequently, the converter module demodulates the received signal, converts it into data packets, and wirelessly transmits these packets to a cellular network using a protocol distinct from 3G.
Additionally, the patent describes the architecture of the cellular converter module, which includes a provisioning module, a 3G cellular receiver, a modem for demodulation and conversion of signals, and a transceiver for wireless transmission. The module is designed to handle signals from 3G devices and facilitate communication with modern cellular networks. The claims also mention the potential for receiving signals from security systems, indicating that the converter can be utilized in various applications, including event detection during an armed state. Furthermore, the system allows for the reception of data signals from the network, which can be converted back to 3G format for transmission to the device, including firmware updates.
