摘要： System and techniques for multi-phase wireless sounding are described herein. A first set of stations may be selected by an access point from a plurality of stations known to the access point. The access point may then transmit a first sounding request to members of the first set of stations. The access point may receive a sounding report in response to the first sounding request from members of the first set of stations. The access point may then select a second set of stations from the plurality of stations based on the sounding report. This second set of stations is a proper subset of the first set of stations. The access point may then transmit a second sounding request to the second set of stations.

摘要： Embodiments of a controller device and method for channel contention in a wireless network are generally described herein. The controller device may determine if a collision would occur for expected signal transmissions of a group of virtual devices, which may include one or more virtual access points (VAPs) and/or virtual stations (VSTAs). The determination of the collision may be based on transmission times and/or back-off intervals of the virtual devices. The controller device may transmit collision control messages to indicate whether colliding virtual devices are to delay signal transmissions. The VAPs may be configured to communicate with the VSTAs as access point (AP) instantiations. The VAPs may be configured to use different service set identifiers (SSIDs) and/or media access control (MAC) addresses in such communication.

摘要： A novel and useful autonomous association mechanism for use in user equipment (UE) network connections in one or more cellular communications systems. The handover process is optimized by improving the selection of target base stations and optimizing the discontinuity period from the time of disconnection from a serving base station and connection to a target base station and by establishing anonymous bidirectional communications with base stations. The mechanism facilitates multiple cell association in a network unaware manner while preserving single endpoint connectivity. The UE does not need to negotiate for or receive pre-allocated opportunities from the network for making associations with neighboring base stations. Association opportunities are created by the UE autonomously in accordance with UE activity patterns. Association opportunities are used to exchange preliminary information needed for handover between the UE and candidate base stations over the same or a plurality of access technologies. The information includes any parameter that can affect the handover process, e.g., link quality, etc.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of multicast and broadcast service (MBS) macro-diversity based information processing for use in MBS enabled wireless communication systems. MBS allocations and transmissions from base stations are not coordinated and independent of each other. The characteristics of the MBS signal, such as waveform, modulation, timing and frequency domain, used for transmissions in one or more MBS zones by a base station are uncoordinated and unsynchronized with respect to transmissions in other base stations or MBS zones. They all, however, contain the same information content and relate to the same CID (MCID and/or SA). The MS, using multiple detection techniques, uses time and frequency diversity reception techniques to combine MBS transmissions received from multiple base stations. Base stations and/or the network inform mobile stations of whether or not uncoordinated MBS data transmission is supported on the network via a TLV transmitted during the MBS connection setup process. If supported, mobile stations can receive multiple MBS data signals, combining them to generate a single MBS data output stream.

摘要： A novel and useful apparatus for and method of managing paging availability of a mobile station in a wireless communications network. The paging availability mechanism of the present invention is able to achieve a substantial amount of power saving by modifying mobile station access to paging intervals. The mechanism dynamically controls access to the wireless network after unavailability periods when mobile stations enter into idle mode. Paging listening intervals for one or more mobile stations are scheduled and synchronized in accordance with the values of one or more parameters or metrics such as link quality. In one embodiment, this is achieved by the mobile station modifying the paging listening intervals access pattern received from the base station. Depending on the one or more parameters or metrics, one or more paging intervals may be skipped thus reducing the power consumption of the mobile station.
