    Abstract: A solution for selecting a network discovery method in an apparatus. The apparatus performs the following: performing initial channel assessment of a radio channel at maximum a determined time period shorter than or equal to the shortest of a plurality of discovery frame broadcast periodicities employed by access nodes the apparatus is configured to search for in network discovery; upon determining that a transmission has been detected in the initial channel assessment, selecting a network discovery according to a first network discovery method; and upon detecting no transmission on the radio channel during the initial channel assessment, selecting network discovery according to a second network discovery method different from the first network discovery method.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for determining distances between apparatuses are disclosed. The method in a first apparatus includes joining a network including a set of apparatuses; setting a first predetermined operating mode for the first apparatus after joining the network; receiving from at least one second apparatus belonging to the net-work a message indicating a support for a ranging service from the second apparatus. As a response to the message, a ranging process with the second apparatus is initiated. A second predetermined operating mode is set for the first apparatus after completing the ranging process with the second apparatus network; and a range-limited service discovery frame is broadcast.

    Abstract: Method for channel contention and data frame transmission in a wireless network. Said method for an apparatus of a first wireless network comprises: operating the apparatus on at least a first channel and a second channel of the first wireless network; while performing said operating in a first operating mode to transmit a first data frame to a receiver apparatus of the first wireless network, contending (202) simultaneously on both the first channel and the second channel and transmitting (206, 208) the first data frame on the one of the first channel and second channel where said contending is first successful; switching from the first operating mode to a second operating mode; while operating in the second operating mode to transmit a second data frame to the receiver apparatus, contending (212) simultaneously on both the first channel and the second channel and transmitting (216, 218, 220) the second data frame to the receiver apparatus according to the following conditions: in response to successful contention on the first channel before successful contention on the second channel, transmitting the second data frame to the receiver apparatus on the first channel; and in response to successful contention on the second channel before successful contention on the first channel, transmitting the second data frame on the second channel if the contention becomes successful also on the first channel or if the first channel is reserved to an apparatus of a second wireless network different from the first wireless network while the second data frame is transmitted.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating on multiple channels, perhaps in data duplication communications in unlicensed spectrum. The method comprises scanning a plurality of channels in unlicensed spectrum to determine whether the plurality of channels are available. In response to determining at least one of the channels is available determining when a transmitting opportunity may occur and estimating at least one delay between said transmitting opportunity and at least one further transmitting opportunity at which it is estimated that the apparatus may be able to transmit a signal on at least one other of said multiple channels. Determining hether any of said at least one delays lie within a current deferral allowance and where not transmitting the signal on the available hannel; and where so delaying transmitting the signal until a further transmitting opportunity within the current deferral allowance.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for displaying messages by reducing a reflectivity of a display. A display, such as a smart mirror, provides reflective properties and digital information. The reflectivity of some portions of the display may be altered such that the display provides the visual effect of steam. By varying the reflectivity in different portions of the display, messages may be provided via the display so as to appear written in the steam. Trigger actions, such as a user entering the vicinity, the detected sound of miming water, and/or the like, may cause the visual effect of steam or display of the message. A user may provide a message by a hand gesture, or writing the message in the air and see the message at is provided via a display. Users may transmit messages to other users, and may view received messages in the display.
