    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for performing channel aggregation to communicate over a non-contiguous spectrum, such as television white space (TVWS), using a plurality of aggregated channels including a primary channel and at least one non-primary channel (e.g., a secondary channel, a tertiary channel or a quaternary channel). Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) may be performed on the primary channel to obtain access to the primary channel. After waiting an arbitration interframe space (AIFS) and potentially performing backoff on the primary channel, the aggregated channels may be used for transmission. A buffer controller may be used to create, for each of a plurality of access classes (ACs), a logic buffer for each of the channels. A frame controller may be used to provide the buffer controller with aggregated medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame information, and control aggregation and fragmentation processes.

    摘要: A dynamic spectrum management (DSM) system includes a plurality of stations and a central entity. A plurality of different radio access technologies are deployed in the DSM system and the central entity coordinates and manages wireless communications in the network. A direct link station receives a beacon periodically from an access point (AP). The direct link station may receive a direct link synchronization message from the AP indicating that a following target beacon transmission time (TBTT) is a synchronization TBTT (STBTT). The direct link station may silence the direct link channels during the STBTT. The direct link station may perform carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) on a primary channel of the direct link to get an access to all direct link channels. A connectivity map procedure may be performed to establish a map for connectivity, services, or capabilities of the devices in the network.

    摘要: Techniques for sending an aggregated beacon in a cognitive wireless network are disclosed. A beacon device may segment beacon information and send beacon segments via a plurality of channels simultaneously. A certain information elements of the beacon information may be included in each beacon segment. Each beacon segment may include channel information for other beacon segments that are transmitted simultaneously. Alternatively, a discovery beacon may be transmitted in addition to a regular beacon. The discovery beacon may include information indicating an operating channel on which the regular beacon is transmitted. The discovery beacon may be transmitted using a predetermined channel bandwidth, with a smaller beacon interval than the regular beacon, or in a frequency hopping fashion. The discovery beacon may be sent on a channel selected based on a regulatory class and corresponding channel information. The discovery beacon may be transmitted on a side channel.

    摘要: Described herein is a silent period method and apparatus for dynamic spectrum management. The methods include configuration and coordination of silent periods across an aggregated channel in a wireless communication system. A silent period management entity (SPME) dynamically determines silent period schedules for channels based on system and device information and assigns a silent period duration and periodicity for each silent period. The SPME may reconfigure the silent period schedule based on system delay, system throughput, channel quality or channel management events. A silent period interpretation entity (SPIE) receives and implements the silent period schedule. The silent periods for the channels may be synchronized, independent, or set-synchronized. Interfaces for communicating between the SPME, SPIE, a channel management function, a medium access control (MAC) quality of service (QoS) entity, a sensing/capabilities database, a MAC layer management entity (MLME) and a wireless receive/transmit unit (WTRU) MLME are described herein.

    摘要: Systems and methods for dynamic white space management are described. First, local handling of channel queries, in which a channel query by a white space device (WSD) is handled by a local dynamic spectrum management (DSM) server, if the DSM server has all the information necessary for providing a response to the channel query. Second, a search extension, in which a WSDB passes part of a search for available channels to a local DSM server. Third, assisting of an available channel calculation, in which a DSM server provides spectrum sensing information to WSDBs to improve the available channel calculation within the WSDBs. And fourth, dynamic bandwidth management to meet the coexistence requirements. In addition, the content of the messages and procedures that enable the above value-adding functions and interactions with the WSDB systems are described.
