Abstract:
A calibration module includes a first input that receives a reference signal, a second input that receives a crosstalk signal, and first and second absolute value modules that generate first and second magnitude signals based on the reference signal and the crosstalk signal, respectively. A first module generates an amplitude correction signal for a quadrature-amplitude modulated (QAM) signal based on the first and second magnitude signals. A second module generates a phase correction signal for the QAM signal based on the reference signal and the crosstalk signal.
Abstract:
Techniques for establishing a dynamic ad-hoc wireless network are disclosed. A node transitions between wake and sleep modes during periods defined as beacon intervals. Before a network connection is established and while it is awake, the node transmits network connection request and also listens for network activity. If a beacon or response message is not detected while the node is listening, the node enters sleep mode and thereby conserves power. The node optionally changes the duration of its detection period and/or the time at which it listens for network activity relative to the start of each beacon interval. Information elements are optionally included with transmitted beacons or response messages.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for decreasing the amount of power consumed by a data transmitter in a wireless device when transmitting media (audio and/or visual) data or other data received from a media source or other source. A transmission circuit, such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or WLAN chip, is configured to deactivate the data transmitter for a deactivation interval and aggregate the media data (or other consistent-rate data) in a buffer while the data transmitter is deactivated. At the end of the deactivation interval, the data transmitter is activated and the aggregated data packets are transmitted. The data transmitter may be repetitively deactivated and activated for transmitting the data. The deactivation interval may be based on the data sampling rate, the transmission rate of the data transmitter, the capacity of the buffer, and/or other factors.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a key mixing circuit to generate N groups of decryption seeds, each generated based upon a predetermined key, a transmitter address, and a predetermined start value for a packet number. An input circuit receives N encrypted packets, each including the transmitter address and one of N values for the packet number. A decryption circuit decrypts each of the N encrypted packets using one of the N groups of decryption seeds that was generated based on the one of the N values in a respective one of the N encrypted packets. The key mixing circuit generates each of the N groups of decryption seeds before the input circuit receives the respective one of the N encrypted packets of the data. The predetermined start value is initialized when the apparatus is initialized and incremented when each of the N groups of decryption seeds is generated.
Abstract:
An apparatus including a key mixing circuit, an input circuit, and a decapsulation circuit. The key mixing circuit generates a plurality of seeds, each based on a predetermined temporal key, a transmitter MAC address, and a predetermined start value for a Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) Sequence Count (TSC). The input circuit receives a message including the transmitter MAC address and the predetermined start value. The key mixing circuit generates the plurality of seeds based on the message. The input circuit receives a plurality of encapsulated MAC Payload Data Units (MPDUs). The input circuit receives the message before receiving the plurality of encapsulated MPDUs. The decapsulation circuit decapsulates each of the plurality of encapsulated MPDUs using one of the plurality of seeds that was generated based on the value for the TSC in the respective one of the N encapsulated MPDUs.
Abstract:
An apparatus and corresponding method and computer program comprises a key mixing circuit to generate N groups of AES Blocks, each generated based upon a key, a transmitter MAC address, and a start value for a packet number. An input circuit receives N encrypted MPDUs, each comprising the transmitter address and one of N values for the packet number. Each of the N values for the packet number is greater than, or equal to, the start value for the packet number. A decryption circuit decrypts each of the N encrypted MPDUs using the respective one of the N groups of AES Output Blocks. The key mixing circuit generates each of the N groups of AES Output Blocks before the input circuit receives the respective one of the N encrypted MPDUs. The predetermined start value is initialized when the apparatus is initialized and incremented when each of the N groups of AES Output Blocks is generated.
Abstract:
A scheduler for a wireless network including N wireless stations having N bandwidth parameters, respectively, comprises a framing module that generates a schedule frame including schedule slots. An assigning module assigns N sets of TxOps to the N wireless stations based on the N bandwidth parameters, respectively. Each of the schedule slots includes zero or one transmission opportunity (TxOp) for each of the N wireless stations. A polling module polls the N wireless stations based on the TxOps defined in respective ones of the N sets of TxOps.
Abstract:
A wireless device capable of matching a user with content based on the user's proximity to other users, by searching for a match between profiles of wireless devices within a wireless coverage area. Wireless devices broadcast profiles within a wireless coverage area. Other wireless devices within the wireless coverage area receive the broadcasted profiles, determine a match between the received profile and a profile stored on the wireless device, and display a match indicator if a match is determined. In this manner, a user having a wireless device may be matched with content based on the user's proximity to other users.
