摘要:
A system, method and relay transceiver for multi-hop wireless communications. In the relay, there is a receiver for adapted to receive packets on a first wireless link collectively destined for at least one mobile terminal. The transmitter buffers them and then transmits the packets on a second wireless link. A flow control function is implemented to provide flow control over the first wireless link to limit an amount buffered in the relay transceiver for a given mobile terminal.

Systems and methods are provided for delivering both PMP communications, for example standard cellular communications via a base station, and also delivering P2P communications, for example, communications between two mobile stations, using the same spectral resources for both types of communication.

Systems and methods for packet re-transmission in multi-hop wireless networks are provided. RLP packet re-transmission only starts from the hop where L1 ARQ fails. This results in an increased efficiency of radio resource utilization. The benefit increases with a larger number of hops. In particular, the benefit is greatest for implementations where the last hop is more unstable than the remaining hops. This is the case for the cellular downlink where the last hop is between a relay and a mobile terminal, and this hop is typically the most unstable. However, applications are not limited to this particular case. The improvement in RLP recovery delay can be translated into an improvement in system capacity and per-terminal throughput. A short RLP recovery delay enables the possibility of a higher number of re-transmissions of lost RLP packets. This in turn translates into a higher target physical layer FER (frame error rate) being allowed which in turn translates into an increased system capacity. Furthermore, a short RLP recovery delay may reduce the possibility of TCP re-transmission and slow start.

A system and method for adaptively managing frame size in a wireless multihop network is disclosed. In one embodiment, a packet is transmitted from a source to a destination. A acknowledgement packet is received and a successful acknowledgement packet counter is incremented if the acknowledgement packet arrives prior to a time-out of a timer. A frame size is increased if the successful acknowledgement packet counter reaches a specified value. If the acknowledgement packet arrives after the time-out of the timer, the successful acknowledgement packet counter is reset and the frame size is decreased. These procedures can be repeated until the frame size is greater than or equal to a maximum frame size or less than or equal to a minimum frame size.

A device and method are provided for concurrently using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) to support a wireless-enabled communications session. A set of data is processed at a client node to identify a subset of priority data. The set of data and the subset of priority data are respectively provided to a first and second protocol stack, which correspond to a first and second RAT. The first and second protocol stacks are then used to control the transmission of a first and second set of transmitted data, which in turn respectively comprise the set of data and the subset of priority data. The first and second sets of transmitted data are received by an access node, which uses corresponding first and second protocol stacks to control their reception. The first and second sets of transmitted data are then processed to generate a set of received data.

Some embodiments of customized instant messaging application for displaying status of measurements from sensors are proposed. These include: simultaneous use of multiple avatars for a given source where one or more of the avatars represent sensor presence; selective assignment of avatar and associated presence information to recipients; dynamic changes to avatar triggered by changes to sensor measurements representing a noticeable change in environment being monitored; selective display of data in customized messaging application based on defined roles and responsibilities of recipient; dismissal of avatar update notification only after necessary action following change to presence condition induced by sensor.
