    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the transition of user equipment between basic service sets within a WLAN or from a basic service set within a WLAN to a cellular data link of a cellular network. In the context of a method from the perspective of the user equipment, a message is received that identifies one or more basic service sets or cellular data links to which user equipment is potentially capable of transferring. For each basic set or cellular data link, the method includes determining from the message whether the respective basic service set or cellular data link is a candidate to permit an internet protocol (IP) address of the user equipment to be preserved following the transfer. The method includes an indication associated with each respective basic service set or cellular data link to identify whether the IP address of the user equipment is able to be preserved following the transfer thereto.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program for routing messages between terminal devices of a wireless network are provided. A terminal device of the wireless network generates a signaling message to be transmitted as a broadcast or multicast message to at least one other terminal device of the wireless network, causes transmission of the signaling message as a unicast message to the access node and, after transmitting the unicast message to the access node, receives the signaling message from the access node as the broadcast or multicast message. Further explanations: terminal devices (of a WLAN) broadcast or multicast control messages between each other by employing the access node (AP) as a broker for the signaling messages. For instance, channel reservation messages are encapsulated as unicast messages and sent to an AP to broadcast such reservation messages to other terminals competing for the same channel access. Each terminal adapts its channel reservations based on the information broadcasted by the other terminals via the AP. Alternatively, terminal devices may exchange information about the services they support.

    Abstract: A block-acknowledgement mechanism employing first and second variable-length bitmaps. The first bitmap carries a plurality of one-bit flags that enable omission, from the second bitmap, of entire segments of acknowledgement-status bits corresponding to the same acknowledgment status, e.g., received or not received. The value of a dedicated control bit in the BA-information field determines the interpretation of binary “0s” and “1s” of the second bitmap in terms of the acknowledgement status. Different embodiments are compatible with fragmented and non-fragmented transmission of the corresponding data units. At least some embodiments are beneficially capable of producing shorter BA frames than comparable prior-art solutions under at least some wireless-channel conditions.

    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.
