A condition, which is based on values of one or more of the parameters monitored at a plurality of historical time instants, is evaluated. At least one feature of the transmitted data, selected from a group of features consisting of the FEC code, the modulation scheme and the power level, is modified based on the condition.
Abstract:
A network controller for facilitating roaming of a mobile wireless communications device between access points communicates with at least one access point over a wired network which, in turn, communicate with a mobile wireless communications device over a wireless network. The network controller includes a data processing system including a protocol stack that facilitates a communication session between the mobile device and a network device on the wired network, and a session table identifying session information for each said communication session. The session information identifies the current access point with which the mobile device is currently associated. The protocol stack updates the session table from session information received from the current access point, maintains a first virtual circuit with the network device, maintains a second virtual circuit with the current access point, and bridges communication between the virtual circuits in accordance with the session information.

Abstract:
A telecommunication arrangement with modems (MCO; MCPE) having a receiving module (URx; DRx) able to receive channels of signals via a communication line (LN). The arrangement preferably operates according to the xDSL protocol. The receiving module of each modem is associated to storage means (USN, DSN; LDN) storing a “channel condition model” corresponding to operational conditions of the channel, preferably to the “worst case”. The channel condition model is determined by previously measured operational conditions of this channel and/or by a channel condition model managed externally to the modem, and which is stored in the storage means before the initialization of the modem. In different variants, the channel condition model is a model of the noise level, the signal-to-noise ratio, the actual or the maximum bitloading (bi) per carrier of the channel and/or mathematical operations on these. The channel condition model is further updated at regular time intervals during initialization or showtime. The modem may be located at the Central Office (CO) or at the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The receiving module (URx) of the CO modem (MCO) may receive the channel condition model from the central office management device via a management interface. The channel condition model may also be transmitted from the central office management device to the receiving module (DRx) of the CPE modem (MCPE), and channel condition measurement information may even be fed back.

Abstract:
A time domain multiplexed (TDM) routing schedule for a wireless mesh network can be generated using a Markov chain process. In particular, synchronized paths between access nodes and gateways in the mesh network can be added to, and removed from, the TDM routing schedule in an iterative fashion according to each individual state in a state progression of a Markov chain, with each state of the Markov chain mapping a different combination of synchronized paths to the TDM routing schedule. In some embodiments, transitioning between states of a Markov chain is performed according to a proportionally fair transition rate.
Abstract:
A technique of mapping data, suitable for Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction while transmitting data portions via a communication channel limited by a peak power ppeak. The mapping is performed by utilizing a Markovian symbol transition probability distribution with quantized probabilities and by selecting, for a specific data portion at a current channel state, such a binary symbol (called thinned label) which allows puncturing one or more bits in the thinned label's bit sequence before transmission.
