Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods disclosed herein operate to provide wireless communication between personal mobile communication (PMC) devices. An emulated wireless access point (AP) at a first PMC device (PMC1) establishes a first tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) session between a first station module (STA1) incorporated into the PMC1 and a second station module (STA2) incorporated into a second PMC device (PMC2). Following establishment of the TDLS session, the wireless AP is allowed to sleep; and most infrastructure management duties are handled by the STA1 during the session. PMC device battery charge may be conserved as a result. The emulated wireless AP may also establish a second TDLS link to a third station module (STA3) incorporated into a third PMC device (PMC3). The STA1 may then bridge data traffic flow between the STA2 and the STA3. Such bridging operation may enable communication between two PMC devices otherwise unable to decode data received from the other.

Abstract: A wireless device that tailors communications based on power parameters of the device. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes an energy source, a power monitor coupled to the energy source, a wireless transceiver, and a traffic controller coupled to the power monitor and the wireless transceiver. The power monitor is configured to measure a parameter of the energy source. The wireless transceiver is configured to wirelessly communicate via a wireless network. The traffic controller is configured to dynamically provide traffic management based on a prediction of wireless device capabilities using the present state of the energy source.

Abstract: A network of sensor and controller nodes having the ability to be dynamically programmed and receive updated software from one another, and from a host system. Each network node includes multiple state machines, at least some of which are operable relative to physical pins at the network node; the physical pins correspond to inputs from sensor functions or outputs to control functions. The network nodes include microcontrollers that are operable in an operating mode to execute a state machine and respond to commands from other nodes or the host, and in a read mode to receive and store program instructions transmitted from other nodes or the host. A learn mode is also provided, by way of which a network node can store program code corresponding to instructions and actions at the node when under user control.

Abstract: System and method for communications in an ad-hoc multi-hop Wi-Fi network are disclosed. The MAC address of an intended recipient is propagated through an advertised SSID or probe response information element of multiple network participants. The group of network participants that convey the MAC address for the intended recipient are connect with each other as Wi-Fi Direct group owners connect to downstream Wi-Fi Direct clients. An access point may control when a Wi-Fi device is allowed to connect based upon whether or not the access point has data, commands, or information to be sent to the Wi-Fi device. If the access point has no data, commands, or information is ready to be sent to the Wi-Fi device, then the access point will add the Wi-Fi device to a list of excluded MAC addresses.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于自组织多跳Wi-Fi网络中的通信的系统和方法。 预期接收者的MAC地址通过多个网络参与者的通告的SSID或探测响应信息元素进行传播。 作为Wi-Fi Direct组所有者连接到下游Wi-Fi Direct客户端的，传达预期接收者的MAC地址的网络参与者组彼此连接。 接入点可以基于接入点是否具有要发送到Wi-Fi设备的数据，命令或信息来允许Wi-Fi设备被允许连接。 如果接入点没有数据，命令或信息准备好发送到Wi-Fi设备，则接入点将Wi-Fi设备添加到排除的MAC地址列表中。
