    摘要: During wireless communication with a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) group, a transmitting device may exclude a receiving device from a subset of the multi-user MIMO group to which it communicates data. In particular, based on responses from receiving devices to sounding packets with beamforming information for the receiving devices, the transmitting device calculates beam-pattern settings for a set of antennas so that, when communicating with the subset, receiving devices in the subset are located on beams within beam patterns formed by the set of antennas while a remainder of the receiving devices (including the receiving device) are located at exclusion zones in the beam patterns. Moreover, a beam pattern for a given receiving device in the subset provides a beam at a location of the given receiving device and provides exclusion zones at locations of the other receiving devices in the multi-user MIMO group.

    摘要: In order to establish a mesh network, an electronic device may identify one or more mesh-network nodes and may determine associated duty-cycle ratios based on communication with the mesh-network nodes. The electronic device may select candidate mesh-network nodes based on estimated throughput metrics of their communication with a root device in the mesh network. For each of the candidate nodes, the electronic device may associate with a given candidate mesh-network node, and measure the throughput of the given candidate mesh-network node during a time interval by communicating packets. Based on comparisons of the measured throughputs, the electronic device may identify the mesh-network nodes in the candidate mesh-network nodes and may determine the associated duty-cycle ratios. Subsequently, the electronic device communicates information with the root device via the mesh-network nodes based on the duty-cycle ratios.

    摘要: Power consumption in a receiving device is avoided by receiving packets from a transmitting device in a first band of frequencies (such as around 60 GHz) and providing acknowledgments in a second band of frequencies that is different than the first band of frequencies (such as around 5 GHz). These out-of-band acknowledgments may allow the receiving device to avoid transmissions in the first band of frequencies and the associated power consumption. Moreover, the transmissions by the transmitting device in the first band of frequencies and the second band of frequencies may be synchronized so that packets are transmitted in the first band of frequencies when transmission in the second band of frequencies is enabled. In these ways, this communication technique may improve the performance of the transmitting device and the receiving device.

    摘要: A system for improving throughput in a communications network, the system comprising: a first node and a second node, the first node configured to: transmit to a second node of the communication network; determine a first physical data rate for transmitting to the second node a multicast or broadcast packet; determine a second physical data rate for transmitting to the second node one or more unicast packets resulting from conversion of the multicast or broadcast packet into the one or more unicast packets; and transmit the one or more unicast packets to the second node if the second physical data rate exceeds the first physical data rate and otherwise transmit the multicast or broadcast packet to the second node.

    摘要: A horizontally polarized antenna array allows for the efficient distribution of RF energy into a communications environment through selectable antenna elements and redirectors that create a particular radiation pattern such as a substantially omnidirectional radiation pattern. In conjunction with a vertically polarized array, a particular high-gain wireless environment may be created such that one environment does not interfere with other nearby wireless environments and avoids interference created by those other environments. Lower gain patterns may also be created by using particular configurations of a horizontal and/or vertical antenna array. In a preferred embodiment, the antenna systems disclosed herein are utilized in a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) wireless environment.
