摘要:
Selection between first and second communication channels of differing bandwidths for communication between communication devices may be chosen by a method, an apparatus, or a computer-readable medium wherein the first channel is employed as a communication channel, a determination is made whether a criterion associated with the communication channel is met, and, if the criterion associated with the communication channel is met, an evaluation of the second channel is performed and one of the first and second channels is chosen to subsequently employ as the communication channel based on the evaluation of the second channel.

A method in a communication network includes receiving a data unit that includes a request to transmit an aggregate data unit to a communication device, and, in response to receiving the data unit, generating an aggregate data unit for transmission to the communication device, where the aggregate data unit includes a plurality of component data units, each having a respective media access channel (MAC) header, and a duration of the aggregate data unit is determined using a parameter negotiated with the communication device.

The present disclosure provides secure block acknowledgment techniques for use in communication networks. In one embodiment, a method of processing data at a communication device that maintains a receiving window defining a set of information units that the communication device may accept includes receiving an information unit from a transmitting station during a block acknowledgment session with the transmitting station. The information unit includes information indicative of a request for the communication device to adjust the receiving window. The method further includes determining whether the received information unit is encrypted. The method further includes adjusting the receiving window if the received information unit is encrypted.

The present specification describes techniques and apparatuses that enable power conservation in a wireless network. In some cases these techniques and apparatuses enable power conservation during a discover phase and for a wireless network subject to a government mandate requiring a device of the network to passively search for radar transmission prior to establishing communication with another device of the network.

An access point includes a packet generation module, a packet detection module, and a downlink control module. The packet generation module is configured to generate a multi-user request-to-send (MU-RTS) packet for transmission to each of N remote nodes, wherein N is an integer greater than one. The packet detection module is configured to detect clear-to-send (CTS) packets received from ones of the N remote nodes. The downlink control module is configured to control a downlink to M of the N remote nodes after M CTS packets are detected, wherein M is based on the MU-RTS packet, and wherein M is an integer less than or equal to N.

Methods and systems for providing location-aware WiFi access for a portable device include determining an initial location of the portable device and transmitting the initial location to a WiFi location provider, wherein the WiFi location provider comprises locations and WiFi parameters for a plurality of WiFi access points, wherein each WiFi access point has a corresponding wireless range. The locations and the WiFi parameters for a set of WiFi access points are then received from the WiFi location provider, wherein the set of WiFi access points are within a radius of the initial location of the portable device. At least one WiFi access point in the set of WiFi access points is scanned for that contains the portable device within its wireless range. The portable device then connects to the at least one WiFi access point, thereby forming a WiFi connection.

A system, comprising: a first receiver of a baseband processor (BBP) configured to determine whether a signal includes a frame; a second receiver of a media access controller (MAC) configured to identify a destination address in the frame; a processor configured to selectively process the frame; and a power management module configured to transition each of the first receiver of the BBP, the second receiver of the MAC, and the processor to the active mode based on predetermined criteria.
摘要:
A host assembly is communicatively coupled to a wireless device assembly via a first interface and via a second interface. A first signal is received at the wireless device assembly from the host assembly. The first signal indicates a request for the wireless device assembly to enter a host sleep mode of operation. In response to receiving the first signal, the wireless device assembly transmits a third signal to the host assembly, wherein the third signal indicates entry into the host sleep mode of operation. Subsequent to transmitting the third signal to the host assembly via the first interface, the wireless device assembly enters into the host sleep mode of operation. While in the host sleep mode of operation, the wireless device assembly transmits, via the second interface, the second signal, and, after transmitting the second signal to the host assembly, exits the host sleep mode of operation.
