摘要:
A method for forming a transparent conductive film by atomic layer deposition includes providing more than one kind of oxide precursor which is individually introduced into atomic layer deposition equipment through different sources, wherein the oxide precursors are consecutively introduced into the atomic layer deposition equipment at the same time, so that the oxide precursors are simultaneously present in the atomic layer deposition equipment, to form a uniform mixture of oxide precursors in a single adsorbate layer for settling onto a substrate in the atomic layer deposition equipment. Then, an oxidant is provided to react with the oxide precursors to form a single multi-oxide atomic layer. The above mentioned steps are repeated to form a plurality of multi-oxide atomic layers.

A wireless device (200, 310-1) executes a method (400) of reserving a time slot for communication with a second wireless device (200, 310-4) in a communication network 5 (300). The wireless device (200, 310-1) determines whether any antenna beam to be used in a proposed communication with the second wireless device (200, 310-4) communication within the time slot would interfere with any antenna beam used by any first wireless device (200, 310-i) in any existing reservations for the time slot. When any antenna beam to be used in the proposed communication would not interfere with any antenna beam used 10 by any first wireless device (200, 310-i) in any existing reservations for the time slot, the wireless device (200, 310-1) transmits an information element (500) or reserving the time slot for communication with the second wireless device (200, 310-4).

A method enables a wireless device (310) to rendezvous with another wireless device (320) through a wireless network (330), where activation schedules of the wireless devices are not synchronized. The method includes determining a number of time units in each cycle of multiple communication cycles, identifying active time units in each cycle during which the first wireless device enters an active mode, and identifying inactive time units in each cycle during which the first wireless device enters an inactive mode. The sum of the active time units and the inactive time units equals the number of time units in each cycle. A first active time unit in each cycle occupies a same position in the cycle as an active time unit in a previous consecutive cycle. Also, a second active time unit in each cycle occupies a different position in the cycle than any active time unit in the previous consecutive cycle.

A communication system includes first and second devices, where a processor of at least one of the first device and the second device is configured to establish a superframe having a superframe duration (Ts) and transmit a beacon by the first device during each of the superframe duration (Ts); scan by the second device all sectors (Nbeam) by scanning each sector for a superframe duration (Ts) and repeating a jump sequence. The jump sequence has a sequence duration (Ttotal) which is equal to a sum of a control duration (Tc) of a control channel and durations of data channels (KTd). The processor is further configured to find the first device by the second device during a find time (Tf), where the control duration (Tc) is greater than the durations of data channels (KTd).

An antenna (740) listens in each of a plurality of steerable sectors to determine if a primary beacon is present; transmits a primary device beacon in each of the plurality of steerable sectors if the primary beacon is not present; and transmits a secondary device beacon in a first one of the plurality of steerable sectors if a primary beacon is discovered. The antenna (740) may transmit the primary and secondary beacons on a different communication channel than a data communication channel or may transmit the primary and secondary beacons on a same communication channel as a data communication channel. The antenna (740) may divide the same communication channel into time slices wherein different time slices of a super-frame are utilized for the primary beacon, the secondary beacon, and the data communication. The secondary device (C, D) sends additional beacons in additional sectors if it receives non-primary beacon from the additional sectors.
摘要:
In a communication network (100), a method (400) of reserving X slots (610) for transmitting data from a source device (110A) to a destination device (110D) via multi-hop relay includes sending a first hop reservation request from the source device (110A) to a second device (110), for transmitting data from the source device to the destination device. The first hop reservation request identifies the source device, the destination device, and X proposed slots (610) to be reserved for the first hop. The source device then receives a first message, addressed to the source device from the second device, indicating that the first hop reservation request is pending and that the X slots proposed by the source device have been reserved by the second device. Later, the source device receives a subsequent message indicating whether a final hop reservation request has been accepted by the destination device.
摘要:
In a wireless communication network (300) comprising a plurality of devices (100), a method of discovering a route for transmitting data from a source device (110A) to a destination device (110D) via multi-hop relay, includes broadcasting from the source device (110A) a route discovery request for transmitting data to the destination device (HOD). The route discovery request includes: a first field indicating a hop-count limit, a second field indicating a number of slots, X, required for transmitting the data, a third field indicating an ID for the source device (110A), and a fourth field indicating an ID for the destination device (HOD). The source device (110A) then receives a route discovery response indicating a route from the source device (110A) to the destination device (HOD). The route discovery response includes a first field indicating a number of hops between the source device (110A) and the destination device (HOD).
摘要:
Under the present invention, a method and system for improved handoff of a mobile device between wireless subnetworks is provided. Specifically, under the present invention, a mobile device will directly associate with a new access point of a new wireless subnetwork (layer 2 handoff) before associating with a agent of the new subnetwork (layer 3 handoff). Once the association with the new access point is complete, a forwarding request will be sent from the new access point to the old access point of the wireless subnetwork wit which the mobile device w as previously associated. The forwarding request causes all data packets intended for the mobile device that are received by the old access point to be forwarded to the new access point. Then, once the mobile device has the completed its association with the agent of the new wireless subnetwork, the mobile device will receive data packets directly through the new subnetwork.
