摘要:
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for independent wireless resource sharing on a fair basis to enable selecting the most suitable coexistence between wireless networks. Example embodiments of the invention include a method comprising receiving, at a network controller, a coexistence management service request allowing one or more network controllers to make decisions concerning operational parameters of a wireless network originating the request; determining whether control of the wireless network is to be shared with one or more network controllers serving one or more wireless networks neighboring the wireless network originating the request; and in response to determining that control of the wireless network is not to be shared with the one or more network controllers serving the one or more wireless networks neighboring the wireless network originating the request, notifying the one or more network controllers serving the one or more wireless networks neighboring the wireless network originating the request that the wireless network has requested a coexistence information service.
摘要:
This document discloses methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for selecting and providing a terminal apparatus of a wireless network with services. The terminal apparatus selects a wireless apparatus to provide the terminal apparatus with at least a first service. Then, it causes transmission of an association request to the wireless apparatus, wherein the association request comprises at least one information element indicating whether the request relates to provision of the first service without a second service or to provision of both the first service and a second service, wherein the second service is different from the first service and is subjected to the presence of the first service. Upon approval acquired from the wireless apparatus, the at least said first service is received from the wireless apparatus.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to facilitate frequency channel allocation, and reallocation, in a radio communication system. Channel allocation and reallocation is effectuated to attain a desired statistical emission spectrum. Implementation is effectuated, for instance, in a WLAN system operable pursuant to the IEEE 802.11 standard but implemented in a 5 GHz frequency band.
摘要:
There is provided a method comprising: causing a station capable of communication in a wireless network to acquire knowledge of a medium usage indicator with respect to at least one channel applicable for transmission of a scanning request; and determining a transmission time for a next scanning request at least partly based on the medium usage indicator.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program for monitoring messages transmitted in a wireless network are disclosed. On the basis of the monitoring, it is determined that a transmission rate of messages is not sufficient upon detecting no message within a minimum transmission time interval and, upon determining that the transmission rate of messages is not sufficient, an access point of the wireless network is caused to transmit a scanning message.
摘要:
Interference management in a wireless network is disclosed in this document. Two networks with overlapping frequency bands and coverage areas are configured to cooperate in order to mitigate mutual interference. Some embodiments relate to medium reservation in a first network to protect a transmission in a second network, while other embodiments relate to aligning communication parameters between the networks.
摘要:
In response to receiving a capability advertisement message which comprises role capabilities, an activation message which requests at least one role capability of the capability is sent to a device on a bearer; and in response to the activation message, from the device on the bearer is received a notification message which indicates whether the role capability of the activation message was accepted. In another embodiment, a capability advertisement message which comprises role capabilities is sent; in response there is received on a bearer an activation message which requests at least one role capability of the advertisement message; and then in response to the activation message there is sent to the device on the bearer a notification message which indicates whether the role capability of the activation message is accepted.
摘要:
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments of the invention are disclosed to improve the discovery of wireless networks. In example embodiments of the invention, a method comprises: transmitting, by an apparatus, one or more wireless discovery request messages to discover a wireless network matching one or more predetermined characteristics; receiving by an apparatus, from one or more wireless devices, zero or more wireless responses to the one or more wireless discovery request messages, and transmitting by the apparatus, a wireless message including an indication that the apparatus will not listen to further wireless responses.
摘要:
An approach is provided for providing a collaborative reply to a flooding message over an ad-hoc mesh network. A reply message to a flooding message is received by a wireless node within the ad-hoc network. The wireless node monitors for an acknowledgement of receipt of the reply message according to a routing table and initiates a scheduled transmission of the reply message based on the monitoring.
摘要:
In a non-limiting and example embodiment, a method is provided for arranging multi-channel wireless communications, including detecting, by a communications apparatus, information on available bandwidth for a transmission opportunity applying multiple channels, and controlling duration of channel occupancy for at least one of channels available for the transmission opportunity on the basis of the information on available bandwidth.
