摘要:
Method for operating a wireless network, wherein at least one MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) group of different stations will be constructed by a grouping algorithm based on a grouping metric for providing a MIMO group of different stations addressable simultaneously in space by a base station using MIMO techniques and meeting a definable level of performance quality, the grouping metric being based on an SINR (Signal-to-Interference and Noise Ratio) experienced by each station within the MIMO group. The method includes: computing an SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that a new station would experience without any interference when added to an existing MIMO group; computing an SINR estimate by correcting the SNR with the sum of spatial correlations between the new and each of the stations already present in the existing MIMO group; and using the SINR estimate for deciding whether the new station can be added to the existing MIMO group.
摘要:
A method for operating a mobile terminal as access point, wherein the access point composes a network together with one or more associated client stations, wherein the access point has an operational mode of alternating awake and sleep periods, and wherein the access point broadcasts beacon frames at regular intervals for signaling communication parameters to the associated client stations, is characterized in that the access point, based on the level of activity in the network, adjusts the communication parameters by slowing down or accelerating the access of the associated client stations to the network. Furthermore, a corresponding mobile terminal is disclosed.

A method to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) in a wireless network, preferably in a WLAN according to the IEEE proposal 802.11e comprising an Access Point (AP) and at least one mobile station (STA) with different Access Categories (ACs) being defined for the transmission of frames depending on their priority, and in which a Power Save Mode (PSM), preferably according to IEEE standard 802.11, is used in the network is characterized in that the PSM queue is separated into several sub-queues at the Base Station.
摘要:
A method for supporting the discovery of synchronized clusters (4) of mobile stations (3) in a wireless communication network (1), wherein a synchronized cluster (4) includes a number of mobile stations (3) that periodically wake up according to a common duty cycle, is characterized in that at least one mobile station (3) of a synchronized cluster (4)—announcement master (6)—transmits advertising messages announcing the existence of said cluster (4) to potential scanning devices (5) that try to discover said cluster (4), wherein an independent infrastructure including a plurality of access points (2) which transmit beacon frames on a regular basis is employed as external synchronization source in that said announcement master (6) as well as potential scanning devices (5) apply predefined rules to derive from information contained in the beacon frames transmitted by access points (2) of said independent infrastructure time slots of said advertising messages, which are used as common rendezvous points. Furthermore, a corresponding system is disclosed.
摘要:
A method of scheduling periodic processes for execution in an electronic system, in particular in a network, in a data processor or in a communication device, wherein the electronic system includes a controller for performing the scheduling, wherein a number of N processes Pi are already scheduled with each process Pi having an individual service interval SIi, and wherein an additional process PN+1 is to be scheduled with a service interval SIN+1, is characterized in that the additional process PN+1 is scheduled in such a way that the minimum time lag between the execution times of the additional process PN+1 and the execution times of the number of N already scheduled processes Pi is maximized. Furthermore, a corresponding device for scheduling periodic processes for execution in an electronic system is disclosed.
