摘要:
A novel technique involves evaluating a real-time environment of a channel based on a nonlinear function of the number of neighbor radios and channel utilization requirements. The technique can be used to pick a channel for an AP that is added to a wireless network or to tune a channel for an existing AP. The technique can be applied to, for example, a relatively new wideband option in the 802.11n standard.

Method for reducing collisions between a first station and a second station in a CSMA/CA system. The method may be performed by the first station. Medium access to transmit to the second station may be obtained according to a first procedure for obtaining medium access. It may be determined that the second station is configured to grant transmit opportunity to the first station. Medium access to transmit to the second station may be obtained according to a second procedure for obtaining medium access based on determining that the second station is configured to grant transmit opportunity to the first station. The first procedure may include contending for medium access, while the second procedure may include delaying contention for medium access relative to the first procedure.

A network coordinator can assign an association identifier (AID) and/or a group identifier (GID) to identify a client station to which a packet is to be transmitted and to enable the client station to determine whether to receive an incoming packet. The network coordinator can randomly generate a base AID that is representative of the network coordinator and can assign at least one AID to client stations to minimize the probability of client stations associated with proximate network coordinators being assigned the same AIDs. The network coordinator can also randomly assign at least one GID to a group of client stations to minimize the probability of groups of client stations associated with the proximate network coordinators being assigned the same GID. The client station can analyze indications of a received AID and/or received GID to determine whether to receive the packet or whether to switch to an inactive power state.
摘要:
System and method for improving channel efficiency in a wireless link between an access-point transceiver and a first transceiver. The first transceiver may have a first data throughput rate that is lower than the maximum possible data throughput rate of the wireless link. The first transceiver may include a first receive buffer. An indication of the first data throughput rate and a size of the first receive buffer may be received and stored by the access-point transceiver. A first size of a first data packet for transmission to the first transceiver may be determined by the access-point transceiver based on one or more of the first data throughput rate and/or the size of the first receive buffer. The first data packet of the first size may be transmitted to the first transceiver by the access-point transceiver at a data rate that is higher than the first data throughput rate.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system for modulating and demodulating signals compatible with multiple receiver types and designed for improved receiver performance. The invention includes the use of hybrid impulse radio (H-IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) with forward error correction coding, recursive modulation and other techniques designed to enable one transmitter to transmit a waveform capable of being demodulated concurrently by a coherent receiver, a differentially coherent receiver, and/or a non-coherent receiver.
摘要:
A system incorporates time-hopped impulse radio (TH-IR) and transmitted-reference impulse radio (TR-IR) transceivers in the same wireless network. A transmitter modulates a sequence of bits in a wireless communications network by generating a reference waveform and a data waveform of a waveform pair for each current bit. The phase of the reference waveform depends on a previous modulated bit, and a difference in phase between the reference waveform and the data waveform pair depend on the current bit. A symbol period for the current bit is partitioned into multiple time intervals, and the reference waveform and the data waveform are encoded in a selected one of the time intervals that depends on the current bit.
