摘要:
An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a wireless station (STA) operable to communicate with a first access point (AP) and roam to a next access point (AP), wherein said next AP pre-caches a number of IP addresses from a backend Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server; and wherein said wireless station (STA) gathers IP layer address and sub-network information from said next Access Point (AP) during roaming.

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and computer program products to process QoS packets of wireless traffic without explicit control negotiations are disclosed. An embodiment may comprise a mobile computing device with wireless communications capabilities. The mobile computing device may be a client that associates or connects with an access point or communicates another client device, such as a peripheral device with wireless capabilities. The mobile computing device may monitor wireless packet traffic being transmitted from the mobile computing device. For example, the mobile computing device may monitor the packets being transmitted from a video streaming application to the peripheral device, which may comprise an LCD monitor that has wireless communications capabilities. The mobile computing device may mark the packets of the video stream as QoS packets even though the video streaming application may not do so, and place the marked packets in a QoS queue for priority processing.

Embodiments of a mobile station and method for fast roaming in a wireless network using a fast-roaming protocol are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, the fast-roaming protocol has a predetermined structure including an integrity check which remains independent of the route taken by messages.

A network interface controller of a computing device is disclosed that processes network packets without waking the computing device. The network interface controller may detect that a secured connection with an access point has been disconnected and may reconnect to the access point without waking the computing device. The network interface controller may support roaming between access points without waking the computing device. The network interface controller may also support establishing, re-establishing and maintaining a secured session with another computing device while a computing device is in a sleep state.

Architectures and techniques that allow a firmware agent to operate as a tamper-resistant agent on a host platform that may be used as a trusted policy enforcement point (PEP) on the host platform to enforce policies even when the host operating system is compromised. The PEP may be used to open access control and/or remediation channels on the host platform. The firmware agent may also act as a local policy decision point (PDP) on the host platform in accordance with an authorized enterprise PDP entity by providing policies if a host trust agent is non-responsive and may function as a passive agent when the host trust agent is functional.

Embodiments of an authorization server and method for securely reserving resources in a wireless network are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, access points reserve bandwidth thereon through the verification of reservation tokens received from the mobile station.

Device, system, and method of wireless network selection and handover. For example, a multi-transceiver wireless device includes: at least first and second co-located wireless transceivers; one or more firmware modules to handle network selection of at least one of the first and second wireless transceivers based on one or more commands received from one or more drivers when the multi-transceiver wireless device is in full-power mode; and a manageability engine to handle network selection of at least one of the first and second wireless transceivers when the multi-transceiver wireless device is in reduced-power mode.

Device, system, and method of power saving in wireless network. For example, a method includes: receiving from a wireless access point a wireless communication signal indicting wireless network load information represented as a value of a parameter in a Basic Service Set load information element, wherein the parameter comprises a parameter selected from a group consisting of: a station count parameter, a channel utilization ratio parameter, an available admission control parameter, a network congestion parameter, a transmission power suggestion parameter, a reception power suggestion parameter, and a late adaptation suggestion parameter; and modifying a power consumption mode of a communication unit of a wireless communication device based on said parameter.

A method, apparatus and system enable a temporary partition on a host to be isolated. More specifically, a temporary partition may be initialized in a partitioned host, assigned its own security policy and given the necessary resources to complete a task. Thereafter, the temporary partition may be dismantled. Since the temporary partition is isolated from the remaining partitions on the host, the temporary partition may be allowed to run a “weaker” security policy than the rest of the partitions because the isolation of the temporary partition ensures that the security of the remaining partitions may remain uncompromised.
