    摘要: Context-based routing in multi-hop networks involves using a context-based routing metric. In a described implementation, respective path values are calculated for respective ones of multiple paths using the context-based routing metric. A path is selected from the multiple paths responsive to the calculated path values. Data is transmitted over at least one link of the selected path. In an example embodiment, the context-based routing metric is ascertained responsive to an estimated service interval (ESI) of a bottleneck link of each path of the multiple paths. In another example embodiment, the context-based routing metric is ascertained responsive to an expected resource consumption (ERC) metric. In an example embodiment of path selection, the path is selected using a context-based path pruning (CPP) technique that involves maintaining multiple local contexts at each intermediate node, with each local context representing at least one partial path.

    摘要: Architecture that enables wireless narrowband devices (e.g., wireless microphones) and white space devices to efficiently coexist on the same telecommunications channels, while not interfering with the usability of the wireless narrowband device. The architecture provides interference detection, strobe generation and detection and, power ramping and suppression (interference-free coexistence with spectrum efficiency). The architecture provides the ability of the white space device to learn about the presence of the microphone. This can be accomplished i using a geolocation database, reactively via a strober device, and/or proactively via the strober device. The strober device can be positioned close to the microphone receiver and signals the presence of a microphone to white space devices on demand. The strober device takes into consideration the microphone's characteristics as well as the relative signal strength from the microphone transmitter versus the white space device, in order to enable maximum use of the available white space spectrum.

    摘要: Described is incorporating white space networking components into a network stack. A user mode spectrum access control component determines which white space channels are currently allowed for use based upon policy, current operating status and availability information obtained from one or more sources. A white space service (e.g., in the WLAN service) receives the availability information. The white space service includes a discovery module that discovers other nodes, and a channel migration module that changes from the current channel to another channel if the current channel is no longer allowed for use. A kernel mode (NDIS layer) white space driver through a miniport driver controls the channel in use as the current channel. An automatic configuration module is provided that switches to Wi-Fi network communication when a Wi-Fi network is present, and switches back when a Wi-Fi network is not present.

    摘要: Implementation of opportunistic use of stations in a wireless network as repeaters is described. In one implementation, a station detects the existence of rate anomaly in a wireless network. In response to the rate anomaly, the station may transform into a software repeater for certain other neighboring stations. The repeater function allows for the relaying of packets sent by these neighboring stations to the access point and vice versa. The other neighboring stations, owing to their relative proximity to the repeater station, transmit data at a higher rate to the repeater station. Thus, the removal of the slower stations reduces clogging of the access point and increases the overall data rate within the wireless network. Further, a zero-overhead network coding protocol may be implemented in conjunction with the repeater function to increase capacity of the wireless network.

    摘要: A local network coding framework and method including techniques to improve efficiency in a wireless network by reducing overhead. The local network coding method includes exchanging data availability between nodes on the wireless network by sending Bloom filters of lists of packets to neighboring nodes. Based on data availability, optimized mixing of pure packets is performed to form mixture packets for output. A separate acknowledgement buffer keeps track of the pure packets transmitted but not acknowledged. If an acknowledgement does not arrive after a certain time period, the packet is assumed to be lost and is retransmitted. An optimized packet mixing process generates mixture packets and decides which nodes to send the mixture packets. The local network coding framework and method also includes methods for representing the composition of a mixture packet and using mixing at a wireless access point to improve the performance of the wireless local area network.

    摘要: Functionality is described for discovering a channel within an environment in which non-privileged entities have subordinate access rights to spectrum compared to privileged entities. The functionality operates by investigating spectrum units within the spectrum for the presence of the channel. In one case, the functionality operates by investigating the spectrum units in linear succession; in another case, the functionality advances in a staggered fashion over the available spectrum. Functionality is also described for handling disconnection by a node from a channel. The functionality allows the node to convey its disconnection status to other communication participants. In one case, various aspects of the functionality are implemented by performing analysis in the time domain.

    摘要: Alternate communication paths may be analyzed and selected for ongoing communications between two devices. One or both of the communicating devices may identify available communication paths and various identifiers on those paths. The identifiers may be, for example, base stations for a wireless connection, beacon signals, or other information that may be received by the device. After comparing the available communication paths to identify one or more alternative paths, the ongoing communications may be transferred to the alternative path. The initial communication path may be used to pass authentication and encryption information that may be used to establish the alternative path between the devices. The redirection of a communication stream may be performed by an interceptor inserted between the application layer and transport layer in a network stack of the communicating devices.

    摘要: A framework for wireless network management applications in an enterprise environment using existing general purpose computing devices is presented. At least one of the devices is configured with a wireless adapter and is used as an AirMonitor to monitor one or more wireless networks. Other devices are configured as LandMonitors to monitor traffic on a wired network in the enterprise environment. At least one inference engine uses the LandMonitors and AirMonitors by assigning them monitoring tasks. Data from the monitoring tasks are stored in a database. Analysis of the data that is computationally intensive is generally performed by the inference engines. Wireless network management applications use the framework by installing and running application-specific components (e.g., filters) on the AirMonitors, LandMonitors, and/or inference engines.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for detecting and diagnosing performance problems in wireless communications networks. Diagnostic programs execute on a wireless device, neighboring devices, and a wireless access point to collaborate in diagnosing network problems. The neighboring devices eavesdrop on a diagnostic session between the device and the access point to determine problems at the device, the access point, and in the wireless medium. Data from the eavesdropping devices can be summarized and sent to a network administrator for further action. The diagnostic programs are described to contain a passive component for detecting problems, and an active component for running the diagnostic techniques.
