Apparatus and method for providing fine timing assistance to global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) via wireless local area network (WLAN). In one embodiment, a method for synchronizing a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver includes receiving, by a wireless device, via a wireless local area network (WLAN), fine time assistance information transmitted by an assisting device connected to the WLAN. A time value of a GNSS clock of the wireless device is adjusted based on the fine time assistance information. Based on the adjusted time value, GNSS codes of a GNSS positioning signal are acquired by the wireless device.

A system comprising a first wireless device which comprises a first group owner intent determination unit. The first group owner intent determination unit is configured to determine a group owner intent value of the first wireless device based on: whether the first wireless device is configured to access a coexisting wireless network, the power remaining in the first wireless device at the time the group owner intent value determination is made, whether the first wireless device is a group owner in another peer to peer group, a received signal strength indication of the first wireless device, and/or whether the first wireless device is required to perform a cross-connection between an infrastructure basic service set and a peer to peer group.

An integrated circuit includes logic configured to adjust an original service time of a first Wi-Fi Basic Service Set connection (“BSS”), out of a plurality of BSSs configured to be associated with a communication device, to an adjusted service time based on a time until beacon transmission or reception in any of the plurality of BSSs. At least one of the plurality of BSSs can support a peer-to-peer connection.

A wireless device includes a peer-to-peer group owner processor that handles peer-to-peer transactions, a memory coupled to the peer-to-peer group owner processor, and a power state controller. The power state controller determines an access category of a communication received from a peer-to-peer client and determines a quality of service constraint for the access category. The power state controller also determines a power-save mechanism for the wireless device based on the quality of service constraint and implements the determined power-save mechanism.

Apparatus and method for improving throughput in a wireless device accessing coexisting networks. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes first and second wireless transceivers, a power state controller, and an access controller. The first wireless transceiver is configured to access a first wireless network. The second wireless transceiver is configured to access a second wireless network. The power state controller is configured to switch the first wireless transceiver between an active state and a sleep state. The power consumed by the first wireless transceiver while in the sleep state is reduced relative to the active state. The access controller is configured to alternately allocate a wireless medium to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The power state controller and the medium access controller are configured to coordinate power state switching of the first wireless transceiver and wireless medium access by the second wireless transceiver.
摘要:
An integrated circuit includes logic configured to determine a communication schedule of a device configured to perform Wi-Fi communications in a first Basic Service Set (BSS) network and in a second BSS network. The logic determines the communication schedule based at least in part on a first BSS network communication load of the device and on a second BSS network communication load of the device. The communication schedule defines the service time allocation of the device in the first BSS network and the service time allocation of the device in the second BSS network. At least one of the first and the second BSS networks is supportive of a peer-to-peer connection.

A wireless device comprises a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and control logic. The control logic is coupled to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The control logic is configured to determine whether to transmit protection frames (e.g., clear-to-send 2 self frames) based upon sequence numbers in frames received from another device.

An integrated circuit includes logic configured to adjust an original service time of a first Wi-Fi Basic Service Set connection (“BSS”), out of a plurality of BSSs configured to be associated with a communication device, to an adjusted service time based on an unsuccessful acknowledgement transmission or reception in a previous service time on the first BSS. At least one of the plurality of BSSs is supportive of a peer-to-peer connection.
摘要:
A system and method for accessing a wireless network via unified protocol stack. In one embodiment a wireless networking system includes a wireless device. The wireless device includes a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, a processor, and a unified protocol stack. The first wireless transceiver is configured for communication via a first wireless network. The second wireless transceiver is configured for communication via a second wireless network. The unified protocol stack includes first protocols defined for accessing the first wireless network and second protocols defined for accessing the second wireless network. The unified protocol stack includes instructions that cause the processor to access the first wireless network via the first wireless transceiver using one of the second protocols.
摘要:
A system and method for reducing power consumption of a wireless device operating as a soft access point. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a soft access point controller that configures the wireless device to operate as a group owner in a peer-to-peer wireless local area network. The soft access point controller includes a beacon controller. The beacon controller is configured to transmit beacon frames at a first periodic interval. The beacon controller is also configured to extend a discovery interval of a wireless station by transmitting acknowledgement packets at a second periodic interval. The second periodic interval is shorter than the first periodic interval and shorter than a minimum discovery scan timeout of the wireless station.
