ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,550,100, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Nordic Semiconductor ASA (Trondheim, Norway).

"Synchronizing radio communications" was invented by Daniel Ryan (Trondheim, Norway).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system for synchronizing communications in a radio ranging process involves transmitting calibration signals according to a predetermined schedule of nominal transmission times. Timing offsets are determined. A start time is determined for a transmission of a ranging signal. The start time is earlier than a nominal start time of the ranging signal by at least the largest timing offset. Another system for synchronization involves a rad...
