Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for communications via a mesh network. To join an existing mesh network, a wireless communication device may identify a member device from a plurality of member devices of an existing mesh network. The wireless communication device may communicate with the identified member device to participate in a single authentication procedure. Upon successfully completing the single authentication procedure, the wireless communication device may join the existing mesh network without needing any additional authentication procedures with another member device of the plurality of member devices to join the existing mesh network. This approach may be used for any mesh network, such as a social Wi-Fi mesh network.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for collision management of wireless devices in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method of communicating via a wireless medium by a wireless communications apparatus within a neighborhood aware network is provided. The network is configured with periodic discovery windows, and sized for a maximum number of devices M. The method includes determining a discovery window interval K, the smallest integer greater than or equal to one, such that the probability that more than a threshold M devices will transmit during the same discovery window is less than a threshold probability P. The method further includes selecting a random or pseudo-random integer m in the range from 0 to K−1, deferring for at least m discovery windows after a previous interval K−1 has elapsed, and transmitting a discovery frame during the next discovery window after said deferring.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for power conservation in a wireless communications system through efficient transmissions and acknowledgements of information between an AP and a station. The time between a determination by a station to enter a power saving mode and entering network sleep mode by the station may be reduced through a transmission, by an AP, of an MPDU to the station successive to an SIFS after transmission of an acknowledgement to the station of a PS-Poll frame from the station. The time to enter a power saving mode by a station may also be reduced through transmission of A-MPDUs in which a last MPDU of the A-MPDU has an indicator bit cleared to indicate no additional data is to be transmitted. An AP may prevent a retransmission of an MPDU to the station in the absence of an acknowledgement from the station, to further enhance efficiency.

Abstract translation: 描述了无线通信系统中的功率节省的方法，系统和设备，通过AP和站之间的有效传输和信息确认。 在站点确定进入节电模式并进入网络睡眠模式之间的时间可以通过AP向MPI发送确认之后的MPDU向连续的SIFS的站传输而减少 站点的PS-Poll帧。 由站点进入省电模式的时间也可以通过A-MPDU的传输来减少，其中A-MPDU的最后一个MPDU被清除以指示不发送附加数据。 在没有来自站的确认的情况下，AP可以阻止对站的MPDU的重传，以进一步提高效率。
