摘要:
A method of data transmission according to one embodiment of the invention includes transmitting a plurality of bursts to transmit data, each burst occupying at least one of a plurality of frequency bands. Specifically, a bandwidth of at least one of the plurality of bursts is at least two percent of the center frequency of the burst. In one preferred embodiment, a bandwidth of at least one of the plurality of bursts is at least 100 MHz. In another preferred embodiment, each burst occupies at least one of the plurality of frequency bands, but less than all of the plurality of frequency bands.

A Medium Access Control protocol software architecture which comprises a microcode component providing the protocol implementation level functions and an engine component providing hardware level functions. The Medium Access Control protocol and method for use in a network system allows for centralized management of all MAC-level services by a master device. The Medium Access Control protocol provides an improved protocol message throughput via the sequence retransmission request protocol scheme. The Medium Access Control protocol provides a reduced data transmission latency and provides dynamic allocation of data slots within a Time Division Multiple Access frame definition. The Medium Access Control protocol also provides a set of failure management functions and power control support.

摘要:
A control method, apparatus, and system capable of securely distributing a shared secret network encryption key from a host to a wireless peripheral device. The sharing of the secret network encryption key is accomplished without the intervention of a man-machine interface at the peripheral. Embodiments enable a wireless device to receive and store multiple encryption keys, to select the appropriate encryption key depending on the network in range of the device, and thus to freely associate with multiple networks.

A polling method, apparatus, and system capable to detect the attachment and detachment of Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices in a wireless USB system. A USB hub provides a wired connection to the host, while providing wireless attachment points for its devices. The USB host periodically queries the hub looking for changes in the hub's status register. During each period, the hub sends a polling message through each of its wireless ports, and awaits a response. A peripheral device that wishes to attach to the system responds to the message by sending its unique peripheral address. If a device currently occupies the port, the hub sends out the device's unique assigned address as part of the polling message. If the device is still present, it responds by sending its unique peripheral address. If the host does not receive a response after multiple retries, the device is considered detached. The hub thus determines the status of the ports and updates the appropriate bits in the status register, which is then queried by the host.
