摘要:
A Bluetooth-enabled terminal having a radio manager for minimizing frequency collisions between channel hopping patterns transmitted over plural channels established between such terminal and correspondent Bluetooth devices is described. The radio manager extracts successive sets of projected future N—time slot segments of the respective Bluetooth channel hopping patterns. Each extracted set is tested to detect a time slot, if any, where frequency hops of the segments of the set coincide, indicating a frequency collision. When a collision time slot is detected, the radio manager generates a marker which triggers an alteration of the frequency hops that would otherwise be exhibited by a subset of the generated channel hopping patterns in such detected time slot. Such terminal may optionally be provided with an additional network interface to define a collision-resistant Bluetooth access point.

A system and method for improving quality of experience (QoE) of using a mobile device can comprise utilization of stored information relating to RANs of service providers and QoE ratings, receiving an event related to the RANs or to mobile Web browsing actions, receiving requests for QoE metrics based on the event, parsing and interpreting results of the QoE metrics; preparing and beginning an emulation session of the RANs, choosing a presentation style, rendering QoE in accordance with the browser actions and the presentation style which can be purely quantitative comparison, pre-recorded session, limited interaction-emulated session, live interactive session and live automatically controlled non-interactive session, and enabling user input according to the presentation style. The method can comprise standardizing information to allow comparison of the information, rendering network-related information on a display and updating the presentation of the network-related information to maintain a fair representation of the RANs being emulated.

The present invention provides a network communication device and method for simultaneous connection establishment and traffic delivery in a network. The network communication device comprises a first interface for exchanging information with a network device, a second interface connected to the first interface for establishing a connection with the network device, and middleware logic for coordinating information exchange between the first interface and the second interface. The second interface comprises a clock and a clock value that may be dynamically altered. The network communication device may be a Bluetooth device or a Bluetooth Access Point and is capable of functioning in a scan state and a connect state simultaneously.

摘要:
An efficient method and apparatus for rapidly and flexibly setting, on a remote basis, the value of a selected IP parameter(s) in each of a plurality of networked computing devices within a local proximity to support transmission using the IP protocol. In an illustrative embodiment wherein each device is connectable to a common backbone network, each device is also provided with an interface that supports radio transmission using Bluetooth protocols. The desired setting of the selected IP parameter for each device is implemented by means of a prescribed sequence of suitable Bluetooth messages transmitted by a common remote Bluetooth terminal.
