In some embodiments, a ghost messaging system is disclosed that includes: a server configured to store user information, location information of client devices and ghost messages composed by users of client devices; a plurality of access points configured to transmit location information related to client devices to the server; and at least one client device configured to compose ghost messages, including indications of location relevance.
摘要:
A system and method for transmitting data over a plurality of channels is described. The system determines a clear channel and transmits data over that channel. In some examples, the data is formatted prior to identification of the clear channel. In other examples, the data is formatted after identification of the clear channel.
摘要:
Methods for coordinating power usage and link adaptation in wireless communications are described. Terminals and/or access points (APs) may attempt to modify terminals' transmit power in relation to a desired communication data transfer rate. Link adoption may also be used in conjunction with the described methods.
摘要:
A method and system is provided for periodically and dynamically updating allocation pools of IP address which are reserved for wireless or wireline hosts. A system IP address server controls an entire address pool, contains predictive analysis logic, performs a predictive analysis, partitions the IP addresses into distinct address pools, and maintains “wireless guard bands” of IP addresses for wireless users to ensure that a higher priority address pool is never exhausted before an address pool which has a lower priority.
摘要:
In a network of devices having a plurality of local domains, each local domain is likely to comprise a plurality of networks or communities of devices that communicate using a shared native protocol such as Jini, UPnP, Bluetooth, HAVi, WiFi, WiMAX or other standard architectures and protocols. The Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) created a platform and method for various networks to communicate with one another in a local domain. OSGi does not, however, solve the problems associated with communication across local domains. An instant messaging protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and a remote services register are used to provide a means for communication between local devices in a plurality of local OSGi domains using native communications protocols.

Entity identity information and location identity information are sensed and made available to subscriber applications through a secure location-aware services infrastructure, thereby allowing for the creation of location-based services. Information detected by a sensor is passed to an interface aggregator for conversion to a standardized format and then forwarded to location registers for the domain of the sensors. Subscriber applications query the registers to determine which entities are in a particular location and to determine the location of entities. By unifying diverse sensing technologies, location information can be simultaneously obtained on varying degrees of granularity. In addition, the system is scalable to large scenarios by using a plurality of sensors, interface aggregators, and registers.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for dynamically allocating IP addresses in a wireless IP network. IP address servers determine the requisite IP address pools and guard bands for individual network cells to guarantee fair access to the network and facilitate handoff host handoff from a prior cell to a new cell. IP address servers also prioritize handoff and resident hosts that request an IP address from the IP address server. In particular, IP address servers assign a higher priority to handoff hosts over resident hosts that request an IP address from an IP address server in order to maintain a preestablished handoff host network connection instead of dropping a handoff host connection in favor of a new resident host network connection. Finally, each cell is allocated a minimum number of IP addresses to ensure a certain level of fair access to the network regardless of the cell wherein a handoff or resident host resides.
