TCS Issued Patent for Optimizing Data Transmissions
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) ANNAPOLIS, MD, April 3 / MARKET WIRE/ --
TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS)
(NASDAQ: TSYS), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless
communications, today announced the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has
issued patent number 7,353,289 for "System For An Open Architecture
Development Platform With Centralized Synchronization." The patent
describes a method and apparatus that optimizes data transmission between
data clients and application servers, including mobile clients and those
using TCP/IP network protocols.
This TCS invention determines the most efficient way to transfer data based
on the size of the data payload and the characteristics of the network
protocols. Data payloads can be combined or divided to fit into a maximum
transmission unit (MTU), determined by the size of the payload to be
transmitted. This can be used to provide higher, more efficient, and
ultimately more cost-effective data throughputs for fixed and wireless data
transmission applications.
"Optimizing the data transmission of fixed and mobile applications allows
an operator to achieve higher throughput rates and enables a better user
experience," said Drew Morin, Senior Vice President and Chief Technical
Officer for TCS. "By packet stuffing the data packets, TCS' invention
reduces the transmission overhead and increases the data throughput."
The TCS patent portfolio contains 58 patents and over 190 patent
applications in the U.S. and abroad.
About The Invention
The "System For An Open Architecture Development Platform With Centralized
Synchronization" patent provides a method and an apparatus for determining
the maximum transmission packet that can be sent utilizing network
protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP). Data payloads can be combined into the maximum allowable
transmission packet using partial portions of a next payload.
