The present invention provides a method and apparatus that features initiating a device discovery process for attempting to establish a connection between two or more devices via short range communications technology, wherein at least one of the two or more devices having an existing link to another wireless network; and suspending the link to the other wireless network before starting the device discovery. One of the devices may be a node, point or terminal, including a station or access point. The wireless network may include a wireless local area network (WLAN), Bluetooth® (BT), ultra wide band (UWB), wireless USB or other suitable wireless network either now known or later developed in the future. The short range communications technology may include Bluetooth®, as well as other short range communications technology either now known or later developed in the future.
摘要:
Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating identification of primary, secondary, and hidden SSID values in a multi-network WLAN system. A determiner embodied at a mobile terminal determines primary SSID values of networks whose beacon signals are delivered to the mobile terminal. And, responsive to the determinations, further determinations are made as to where to send subsequent probe requests to probe for secondary or hidden SSID values associated with the access points from which the beacon signals are broadcast. Thereafter, selection is made of the network with which the mobile terminal shall communicate.
摘要:
A system and method for using licensed radio technology for determining the operation parameters which should be used by a terminal. The present invention involves the terminal using its GSM system, if activated, to determine whether mobile country code for a nearby cellular terminal is located within the United States or Canada. If the code designates the United States or Canada, then the terminal uses the US domain and the corresponding transmission channels and power levels. If the code does not designate the United State or Canada, then an ETSI domain is used, along with the appropriate transmission channels and power levels.
摘要:
A new and unique method or apparatus for power savings in a node, point, terminal or device in a wireless local area network (WLAN), or other suitable network, featuring one or more steps for delaying forwarding one or more data packets from a WLAN chipset to a host processor based on information received by the WLAN chipset about whether the host processor is in a sleep state. The host processor has a clock request pin to indicate when it is in the sleep state. The WLAN chipset has a pin that is connected to a sleep state signal of the host processor so that the WLAN chipset knows when it can wake up the host processor or not. The WLAN chipset has an internal threshold timer to fulfil latency requirements for delivering packets to the host processor.

The invention relates to applying a handover algorithm in a mobile terminal. In the method, the state of a user interface component of the terminal is checked, and the handover algorithm is applied on the basis of the current state of the user interface component. The handover algorithm is applied only if the current state of the user interface component is active.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for arranging handover in a wireless telecommunications system. Connection settings are stored in a terminal, wherein at least one network identifier is associated with alternative connection settings, the network identifier identifying a target network reachable by a connection from the terminal. The network identifier associated with the currently applied connection settings is compared with the network identifiers associated with the other available connection settings. The connection settings associated with the same network identifier as the one associated with the currently applied connection settings are then selected. The handover may then be carried out by using the selected connection settings.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for adapting a transmission rate for providing data in a downlink direction from a network element such as an access point (AP) in a wireless network to a terminal, wherein the method features the step of the terminal providing a message to the network element containing information to assist the network element in adapting the communication link, including one or more parameters related to the transmission rate or retransmission retry, in the downlink direction. In operation, the network element receives the message and adapts the communication link in the downlink direction accordingly based on the message.
摘要:
The invention proposes a method for detecting an access entity in a network comprising the access entity and a device for wireless communication, wherein the detection is performed with respect to a changeable parameter, and for each specified parameter the following steps are performed: buffering data packets to be transmitted between the device for wireless communication and the access entity, performing the scan process, by the device for wireless communication, based on the specified parameter, and transmitting the buffered packets between the device for wireless communication and the access entity. The invention also proposes a corresponding device for wireless communication.
摘要:
Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques for protecting transmissions in a wireless network. According to an example embodiment, it may be determined at a wireless node whether the wireless node is exchanging transmissions with a plurality of wireless devices associated with a plurality of different signal types in a wireless network. An extended protection request may be sent from the wireless node to a first transmitting device to defer transmission of information for the wireless node for a requested deferral duration. The first transmitting device may defer transmission of information for the wireless node during a deferral period corresponding to the requested deferral duration in response to the extended protection request.
