摘要:
Systems and methods for reduction of handover latencies in wireless communication systems are described herein. Some illustrative embodiments include a wireless mobile communication device that includes a wireless transceiver including a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal synchronized for reception by a first cellular node, and processing logic that couples to the wireless transceiver. Before the wireless transceiver receives a handover command the processing logic causes the transmitter to transmit a second signal for reception by a second cellular node to request allocation of an upload resource for communication with the second cellular node as part of an impending handover.

Methods and apparatus to perform dynamic channel management and dynamic bandwidth changes in wireless local area networks are disclosed. A disclosed example method comprises deciding at an access point to initiate at least one of a bandwidth change or a channel assignment change; and sending a frame to initiate the at least one of the bandwidth change or the channel assignment change from the access point to one or more stations of a wireless network, the frame including a first field to identify a first channel and a second field to identify a second channel.

Methods and apparatus to provide fairness for wireless local area networks (WLANs) that use long network allocation vector (NAV) mechanisms are disclosed. A disclosed example method comprises receiving an indication from a station of a wireless network that a long NAV is to be terminated, and sending a contention-free end frame in response to the indication.

Methods and apparatus to provide fairness for wireless local area networks that use extended physical layer (a.k.a. PHY) protection mechanisms are disclosed. A disclosed example method comprises choosing a length field value for a frame header such that, when a transmit operation is ended, a legacy wireless station and a non-legacy wireless station of a wireless local area network are able to start contending for a wireless medium at substantially a same instant, and sending a frame across the wireless medium that includes the frame header.

An electronic communication device comprises a first transceiver capable of a bi-directional communication session on a first communication medium; a second transceiver capable of a bi-directional communication session on a second communication medium; and a control logic coupled to the first transceiver and the second transceiver and capable of implementing a convergence layer, wherein the control logic is configured to receive, from the first transceiver, a first signal; and cause, in response to the first signal, data received and transmitted by the first transceiver on the first communication medium as part of a communication session to be received and transmitted instead by the second transceiver on the second communication medium.

A wireless device comprises a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and control logic. The control logic is coupled to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The control logic is configured to determine whether to transmit protection frames (e.g., clear-to-send 2 self frames) based upon sequence numbers in frames received from another device.

A wireless device includes a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver. The first wireless transceiver is configured to communicate via a first wireless network, and includes a first scheduler configured to schedule communication via the first wireless network. The second wireless transceiver is configured to communicate via a second wireless network. The second wireless transceiver includes a second scheduler. The second scheduler is configured to identify a resource allocated to the second wireless transceiver for a transaction via the second wireless network, to identify a portion of the resource used by the second wireless transceiver for the transaction, and to transfer information defining the portion to the first transceiver. The first scheduler is also configured to schedule, based on the information transferred by the second scheduler, the first transceiver to communicate via the first wireless network using the resource allocated to the second wireless transceiver for the transaction.
摘要:
In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system comprises an access point and a station in communication with the access point. The station has at least two network technology subsystems subject to coexistence interference. The station selectively implements bounded Power Save (PS)-Polling (BPS) logic to handle communications between the station and the access point. The BPS logic operates to confine PS-Poll transmissions starts to one of two separate windows during a medium grant duration of the station.

In accordance with at least some embodiments, a system includes an access point and a station in communication with the access point. The station selectively implements adaptive periodic Power-Save (APPS)-Polling logic for communications between the station and the access point. The APPS-Polling logic is configured to determine a timer value for periodic PS-Polling by monitoring a periodicity of arrival packets for at least a threshold amount of time.
