    摘要: In a network, some data are transmitted between stations during time slots in contention free periods. Selecting the time slots includes collecting timing information at some stations in the network. The timing information indicates the times of existing time slots used by stations whose transmissions can be reliably received by the station collecting the timing information. The timing information is distributed to other stations in the network. A new time slot for transmission between a first and a second station is selected based at least on timing information indicating the times of existing time slots used by stations whose transmissions can be reliably received by at least one of the first and second station.

    摘要: Network signals are coupled to and from a first communication medium that is coupled to one or more nodes of a first network that exchange signals according to at least one scheduling constraint of the first communication medium. Network signals are coupled to and from a second communication medium that is coupled to one or more nodes of a second network that exchange signals according to a schedule compatible with scheduling information received from the first network. Information conveyed by the coupled network signals is communicated between a first network node and a second network node, according to the schedule compatible with the scheduling information received from the first network.

    摘要: Communicating between stations over a shared medium comprises: receiving, at a destination station, a first waveform that includes one or more segments of a payload that originated from an origin station with a sequence of multiple segments, the one or more segments included in the first waveform having been transmitted over the shared medium by the origin station and by each of one or more repeater stations, and the first waveform indicating which of the sequence of multiple segments were not correctly decoded by at least one of the repeater stations; generating, based on the first waveform, acknowledgement information that specifies which of the sequence of multiple segments have been correctly decoded by the destination station; and transmitting a second waveform from the destination station over the shared medium, the second waveform including the acknowledgement information.

    摘要: Power save proxy functionality can be implemented to enable power save devices to switch to a power save mode and still receive communications from legacy communication devices. A first communication device determines that a second communication device is in a power save mode. The first communication device designates itself as a power save proxy for the second communication device that is in the power save mode. In response to detecting packets that are transmitted from a legacy communication device to the second communication device, the first communication device transmits a control message to the second communication device to request the second communication device to exit the power save mode, transmits a hold control message to the legacy communication device to request the legacy communication device to temporarily stop transmitting packets to the second communication device, or stores the packets intended for the second communication device.

    摘要: A waveform communicated from a first station to a second station over the shared medium may be communicated at a time that is based on a shared time reference shared by the first and second stations. The waveform may include at least a first symbol, having a predetermined symbol length, comprising a first set of frequency components at predetermined carrier frequencies modulated with preamble information and a second set of frequency components at predetermined carrier frequencies modulated with frame control information. The carrier frequencies of the first and second sets of frequency components may be integral multiples of a frequency interval determined by the inverse of the symbol length. The first symbol of the waveform may be demodulated in response to detecting a series of values sampled based on the shared time reference.
