A system and method are provided for performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) function in a wireless mesh network. In doing so, a method is provided for performing a CCA function to detect a hidden node in a wireless mesh network and includes varying a predetermined default threshold value according to at least one parameter, and determining a variable threshold value to perform the CCA function resulting from the varying of the predetermined default threshold value. The CCA function can then be performed based on the determined variable threshold value.

Disclosed is a method for transmitting/receiving signals in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) mesh communication system. The method includes transmitting, by a transmitter, a control message including an address to receivers according to a generated traffic, if traffic is generated; and receiving, by a receiver, the transmitted control message, confirming the address included in the control message, and performing a predetermined operation according to results obtained by confirming the address.

A method and system for selective silencing in a WLAN mesh network are provided. In the selective silencing method, a node being silenced is distinguished from a node being activated. The mechanism for selectively silencing is activated by altering the setting of a bit (or bits) in the frame control field of the control frame. A control frame, including the bits with the pre-specified setting, is sent, with a destination set to a transmitter of the control frame.

A signaling method and apparatus for channel switching in a WLAN are provided. In the signaling method and apparatus, a data transmission channel is allocated to a receiver and a transmitter. A channel index is set to indicate the allocated channel in a duration field. A current channel is switched to the data transmission channel indicated by the channel index.

A non-agile channelization method for multichannel medium access control (MAC) is provided, in which an available channel is categorized as an agile or non-agile channel, an operation mode of the channel categorized as the non-agile channel is selected, and multichannel switching is performed according to the selected operation mode. The non-agile channelization method for multichannel MAC enables non-agile channel switching to create a connected network, and allows agile and non-agile channel switching to coexist to avoid a change in existing hardware.

A system and method for controlling congestion using Request-to-Send (RTS) and Clear-to-Send (CTS) in a wireless mesh network are provided. A receiver in a congestion state sets a duration field value of congestion control in a CTS frame and transmits the CTS frame to a sender. In response, the sender retransmits an RTS frame to the receiver without transmitting data, after waiting for an RTS retransmission waiting time period corresponding to the duration field value. The congestion state information is broadcast to neighboring nodes. Therefore, the congestion control system using the CTS frame does not use a separate frame for the congestion control. And, all of the neighboring nodes can participate in the congestion control, increasing the network efficiency.

Method of and system for coding a sound signal (10) as multiple independent streams of frames (14, 15) by creating frames (1,2,3,4,5,6) using sinusoidal coding and then placing frame i into stream i modulo the number of streams, method of and system for reconstructing a sound signal (23) by decoding frames from multiple streams (21, 22) in an interleaved fashion and reconstructing missing frames by using information from surrounding frames, system for recording and playing back sound signals implementing the above two methods, where under normal circumstances both streams (31, 32) of a coded signal are stored, and when capacity on the storage medium (35) is low, only one of the two streams of a coded signal is stored while one of the two streams of existing coded signals is overwritten and allowing a decoder (37) to reconstruct a sound signal by using either both or the one available stream for that sound signal.

In a harmonic speech encoder (16) a speech signal to be encoded is represented by a plurality of LPC parameters which are determined by a LPC parameter computer (30), a pitch value and a gain value. The speech encoder comprises a (coarse) pitch estimator (38) for determining a coarse pitch, and a refined pitch computer (32) to determine a refined pitch from the coarse pitch value. The refined pitch value is determined in an analysis by synthesis way, in which a refined pitch value is selected which results in a minimum error measure between a representation of a synthesized speech signal and a representation of the original speech signal.

Combinational networks may provide simultaneous connectivity over networks of different network types between user equipment. A communication session, comprising a circuit switched call and one or more packet switched sessions, may be deployed simultaneously over different network types, in relation to the same user equipment. The circuit switched call and the packet switched session can be correlated, in which case the communication session is regarded as a combinational session. By introducing a number of logical databases that contain actual data on network addresses and communication sessions, a correlation check is deployed applied by a correlation node. The check consists of a number of queries towards said databases or to other network entities, yielding whether the communication session is to be regarded as combinational. The result of the check may e.g. be deployed in an on-line combinational charging system.

A method and apparatus for controlling energy supply to energy consuming devices are provided. The method includes acquiring a first amount of energy to be used in at least one energy consuming device, determining the amount of energy stored in an energy storage, and optionally transmitting an energy supply request message to an energy supplier based on the amount of energy to be consumed in an energy consuming device and the amount of stored energy.
