Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are provided. In an embodiment, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, at an access point, a probe request, generating a probe response to conditionally include neighbor report information based on the probe request; and transmitting the probe response to a wireless device.
Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to facilitate use of modified cell reselection parameters and/or procedures for access terminals exhibiting low or no mobility. An access terminal may employ one or more mobile thresholds to determine whether to perform cell reselection when the access terminal is mobile, and one or more stationary threshold to determine whether to perform cell reselection when the access terminal is stationary or substantially stationary. Methods operational on access terminals include determining the access terminal to be stationary or substantially stationary, and employing one or more stationary thresholds to determine whether to perform a cell reselection when the access terminal is determined to be at least substantially stationary. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining, by a first device, a number of discovery messages received during at least one discovery interval. Based on the number of discovery messages, an estimated number of devices in an ad-hoc network is determined. The method further includes transmitting, during a second discovery interval that is subsequent to the at least one discovery interval, a discovery message. The discovery message indicates the estimated number of devices in the ad-hoc network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication are provided. In an embodiment, a method of determining a set of communication parameters for a wireless communication includes transmitting, at an access point, one or more frames each including a transmission power indication, receiving, at the access point, a probe request using a first set of communication parameters; and transmitting, at the access point, a probe response using a second set of communication parameters, the second set of communication parameters based on the first set of communication parameters. In some aspects, each of the first and second set of communication parameters define a MCS, which defines a coding rate of the communication.
Abstract:
A method includes, prior to authenticating a mobile device, receiving by an access point a first message from the mobile device, determining that the mobile device is to be authenticated prior to responding to the first message, and sending to an authentication server a second message that includes an authentication request and the first message. The method also includes receiving from the authentication server a third message that includes a response to the authentication request and that further includes the first message.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and computer program products for synchronization of wireless devices in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method for determining at least one of a time for exiting and a time for entering a low power sleep mode to utilize a discovery window is provided. The method includes determining an earliest possible start time of a discovery window according to a clock at the first device. The method further includes transitioning from the low power sleep mode to a higher power active mode approximately at the determined earliest possible start time, wherein the determined earliest possible start time is based at least in part on a clock drift value associated with the first device and a clock drift value associated with a second device of the wireless network.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for inter-network service selection are described herein. Through the use of one or more of device identifiers and device classes, information including a randomization metric can be transmitted to networked devices indicating which devices and/or device classes are permitted or denied to access a given network service. Equipment seeking access may alter the selection based on this information. Equipment providing access may enforce access request based on this information. As an example, selection between eHRPD and LTE may be load balanced based on device class or identifiers.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for receiving, by a mobile device via a second RAT, an indication of the availability of a service on a first RAT. The mobile device may determine a configuration for a voice call session based on the availability of the service on the first RAT. The mobile device may initiate the voice call session according to the determined configuration.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for channel state information feedback are provided. In various aspects, a message is transmitted to one or more wireless communication devices requesting channel state information. In some aspects, a first portion of the message is transmitted according to a first or second, and contains first information intended for a first or second set of wireless communication devices compatible with the first or second format respectively. In some aspects, a second portion of the first message is transmitted according to the second format, and contains second information intended for the second set of wireless communication devices compatible with the second format. In some aspects, this information may comprise at least one of a list of identifiers, a set of parameters for estimating the channel state information estimation, and uplink transmission allocation information.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for wireless communication are disclosed. In one aspect an access point transmits a message to a first device and a second device on a first channel, the message sufficient to inform the first device to camp on a first channel during a time slot and the message sufficient to inform the second device to camp on a second channel during the time slot. The access point further determines whether the first channel is busy during the time slot. If the first channel is determined to not be busy during the time slot, the access point communicates with the first device on the first channel during the time slot. If the first channel is determined to be busy during the time slot, the access point communicates with the second device on the second channel during the time slot.
