Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of wireless communication. For example, a wireless communication unit may include a Multi Media-Access-Control (MAC) Address Station-Management-Entity (MM-SME) managing a plurality of MAC entities having a respective plurality of MAC addresses. The wireless communication unit may transmit a frame including a Multi-MAC-Addresses-Element (MMAE), which includes two or more MAC addresses of the plurality of MAC addresses and a control field defining at least one common communication attribute to be applied to the two or more MAC addresses.
摘要:
A system and method for multiband rate scaling for communication, particularly wireless communication. A band is used as a parameter for wireless communication performance when a wireless communication channel has a plurality of available bands for communication. A selected communication band may be switched to another available communication band, where the switching may be based on a desired performance determination.

Embodiments provide techniques for the transmission of broadcasts. For instance, an apparatus may include a sequence selection module, and multiple radiating elements. The sequence selection module selects sequences of directional transmission patterns, where each selected sequence corresponds to a time period. The multiple radiating elements wirelessly transmit a broadcast at the time periods in accordance with the selected sequences. The broadcast may include, for example, beacons, and/or a data broadcast, and/or a control broadcast and/or a management broadcast.

When a device in one wireless network receives interfering transmissions from an overlapping neighboring network, the neighboring network may be notified of the interference so that non-interfering schedules can be worked out. In one embodiment, the device receiving the interference may broadcast its own communications schedule. Device(s) in the interfering network may pick up that schedule, and pass it on to their controller, which can rearrange its own network schedule to be non-interfering. In another embodiment, the device receiving the interference may notify its own network controller with the pertinent information, and that controller may contact the controller of the interfering network to coordinate non-interfering schedules.
摘要:
A wireless communication device and a method of operating an antenna training process to discover first and second communication paths between at least two stations, to rank according to a quality criterion transmitting and receiving modes of an antenna, to report best transmitting mode and best receiving mode for transmitting and receiving signals over said first and second communication paths and to establish a communication link on a selected communication path based on the quality of the transmitting mode and said receiving mode.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communicating using configured antenna directionality. For example, a wireless communication unit of a wireless communication device may detect another wireless communication device based on one or more beacons, to configure a directional wireless transmission scheme for communicating with the other wireless communication device based on the one or more beacons, and to establish a wireless communication link with the other wireless communication device using the directional wireless transmission scheme. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Some demonstrative embodiments include coordinating a session transfer timeout period between first and second multi-band wireless communication devices capable of communicating over at least first and second wireless communication frequency bands, wherein the session transfer timeout period corresponds to at least one communication session between the first and second wireless communication devices; and if the first wireless communication unit cannot communicate with the second wireless communication device over the first wireless communication frequency band for a time period of at least the session transfer timeout period, transferring the at least one communication session from the first wireless communication frequency band to the second wireless communication frequency band. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A distributed coordination of a wireless network operating on different channels is provided by dispatching a device on each ‘home’ channel to regularly visit other ‘foreign’ channels to propagate and listen to broadcast information on these channels. The information in the broadcast packets transmitted on the home channel is relayed to the devices on the foreign channels by the dispatched device, as a ‘proxy device’ that operates on behalf of the other devices in the home channel. In a preferred embodiment, various aspects of this proxy process are optimized to reduce overhead and delays. Each channel is configured to distinguish home devices from foreign devices, to avoid contention between home and foreign devices. Acquired beacon slots on foreign channels are reserved to facilitate returning proxy devices. At the home channel, an anchor device alerts other devices of the proxy device's temporary absence and preserves the proxy device's beacon slot on the home channel.

摘要:
A method and device for determining available communication sub-channels in an OFDM communication system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of transmitting, on at least one first sub-channel (207), information (210) regarding sub-channels available for a first transmission of at least one first data packet (245), receiving, on at least one second sub-channel (250), information (225) regarding sub-channels available for a second transmission, determining at least one set of available sub-channels based on the information regarding the first and second transmissions (430). In one aspect of the invention, at least one set of the determined available sub-channels is further provided to a receiving system. The information is being provided in a separate transmission, or within a data packet, or within each subsequent data packet or in selected data packets.
