摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for imposing random delays for avoiding hidden terminal collisions in wireless mesh networks is presented. A packet is forwarded from a first node to a second node along a multihop path to a destination node. The second node refrains from forwarding the packet to a next hop of the multihop path for a predetermined delay time period. The packet is then forwarded after the predetermined delay time period by the second node to the next hop of the multihop path.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for the express forwarding are presented. A node attempts to transmit a frame designated as a Time Sensitive Quality of Service (TSQ) frame to be express forwarded from a first node to a second node of a plurality of nodes. A collision is detected involving the TSQ frame while attempting to transmit the TSQ frame. A retransmission of the TSQ frame is attempted without waiting a predetermined back off period.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for using a single-radio node and a multi-radio node in a wireless network having a control channel and at least one data channel is presented. One radio of the multi-radio node is kept tuned to the control channel. The single-radio node and the multi-radio node release the control channel at a predetermined time. Further, the data channels used by the single-radio nodes are released at the predetermined time. In such a manner single-radio and multi-radio nodes can co-exist harmoniously in wireless networks with increased bandwidth utilization and efficiency.

A method and apparatus for conveying priority of buffered frames to power saving stations in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) including an Access Point (AP) and at least one power saving station is presented. The method and apparatus indicate to a station the presence of at least one buffered frame in at least one of legacy buffers and Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) buffers in the AP for the station. The AP receives an indication from the station that the station is ready to receive at least one of the buffered frames for the station. The AP then selects a buffer for releasing at least one buffered frame to the station, determines a number of frames to transmit from the selected buffer, and transmits the number of frames from said buffer to the station.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for coordinating adjacent channel transmissions on multiple-radio nodes is presented. A Maximum Channel Occupancy Duration (MCOD) limit for a length of an overall transmit period is defined. A set of timers (NNAV) for each neighbor node is maintained, each of said NNAV including a first timer (CTSNNAV) for the channel which, if set, indicates the maximum duration of a transmission to said neighbor node and a second timer (RTSNNAV) for a channel which, if set, prevents the neighbor node from authorizing a transmission the channel.
摘要:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for transmitting broadcast/multicast data in a wireless network, is presented. The network includes either a plurality of multi-radio nodes, or a plurality of single-radio nodes, or a mix of multi-radio and single-radio nodes and the network further includes a control channel and at least one data channel. Transmission of the broadcast/multicast data occurs either on the control channel or on a data channel.
