Dear IETF WG members, This is to let you know that the attached US Patent 7,082,111 and EP Patent 1,290,529 are being auctioned for sale at the OCEAN TOMO April 19 Live IP Auction. The patents relate to Space-Time Division Multiple Access (STDMA) for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). STDMA is a location-based time slot allocation scheme that creates a virtual cellular TDMA structure with spatial reuse for mobile ad-hoc mesh networks. Telecommunications_Lot_31.pdf provides a summary of STDMA, its primary applications, as well as the price range for the patents. The 2001 IEEE GLOBECOM STDMA paper is also attached for anyone interested in further detail. More information about the direct applicability of STDMA to vehicular and airborne networks (in addition to military ad-hoc mesh networks and commercial networks) can be found in the following links: www.winlab.rutgers.edu/pub/IAB/spring_06/Gruteser_Talk_2.pdf <http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/pub/IAB/spring_06/Gruteser_Talk_2.pdf> http://spacecom.grc.nasa.gov/icnsconf/docs/2006/10_Session_C1/02-McNary.pdf In addition, MANETs could play an important role in future 4G systems. Attached you will also find an auction brochure that provides information about how the auction process works, the due diligence procedure, as well as a bidder registration form. This is a great opportunity for your company to obtain a really broad patent (at true market value) that has the potential to become 'key' in a booming technology such as mobile ad-hoc mesh networks. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the patents. Very Respectfully, Konstantinos (Gus) Amouris
