摘要:
Described in example embodiments herein are techniques for implementing power savings in a wireless local area network (WLAN). In accordance with an example embodiment, a centralized controller can be employed to gather data about network activity and select access points to switch to power save mode. Optionally, the controller may designate certain access points to remain active so as to monitor for clients attempting to access the WLAN. An aspect of an example embodiment is that it allows the controller to configure and manage power consumption based on demands on the overall system. In an example embodiment, techniques for implementing power savings within individual hardware components, such as access points, are disclosed. An aspect of a technique described in an example embodiment is that it provides flexibility to balance power savings and performance.

A system for locating a client in a wireless network. The system includes at least three access points. Each access point is adapted to wirelessly communicate with a client having a location using packeted data, be placed in wired data communication within a selected data network; and to share a common precise time reference using the selected data network. The system further includes a switch adapted to translate the relative position of the access points based on a shared common precise time reference and to calculate the location of the client based on a transmission from the client.

Techniques where PCIe is implemented using connectors that are compatable with Cardbus/MPCI connectors. One technique implements PCIe on unused pins on Cardbus/MPCI connectors. An advantage of this implementation is that it provides a single, smaller connection point than utilizing separate connectors. Another technique is to add additional pins to a PCI connector for processing PCIe low voltage differential signal pairs. Although this technique is not as small as the first technique, it is still smaller than utilizing separate connectors.
