    摘要: Each node or link of an ad hoc network assists in the distributed allocation of a data channel to increase fairness, even in a multi-hop network, by tracking a measure of link weight for itself and sharing this information over a control channel with neighboring nodes. The metric can be provided over a dedicated control channel, added as a header to data communication on a data channel, or inferred by monitoring data traffic from the neighboring node. The link weight can be adjusted by a link quality factor based on provided or inferred metrics such as transmission rates, ratio of transmission errors, idle time, etc. For multiple flow queues at a subject node, one with a higher transmission rate can be selected for increased fairness. When a packet is received, medium access includes allocating bandwidth, including bonding multiple frequencies that are determined to be available to both nodes.

    摘要: A method to determine if a rogue device is connected to a specific wired network from dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) requests on the wired network. These DHCP requests are analyzed to determine the type of device issuing the request. Once the type of device has been determined, it can be checked against a list of authorized device types. If the device issuing the DHCP request is not an authorized device type, then it can be determined that the suspect device is a rogue that is connected to the specific wired network. Additionally, even if the system of the present invention determines that it is an authorized device type, if the device is not one of the few authorized devices of this type, e.g. because its MAC address is not recognized as that of one of the authorized devices, the system can flag the suspect as a rogue.

    摘要: A method and system for optimizing channel access scheduling for multiple wireless computing devices over a wireless network improves channel access efficiency with respect to a primary channel. An access point, or host computer, includes a host transceiver for receiving control information from the wireless computing devices over a low power channel. Upon receiving the control information, the access point applies a scheduling algorithm to schedule channel access for the wireless computing devices to transmit data over the primary communication channel. The wireless computing devices include a low power radio for receiving scheduling information via the low power channel during idle periods. When the scheduling information is received, the wireless computing device activates its primary channel network interface components to communicate data through the primary channel. When the computing device is idle, the device is configured to power down all of its components with the exception of the circuitry required to power the low power channel. As such, the low power channel is maintained in an active state for receiving scheduling information, such as an access schedule, during both idle and non-idle periods.

    摘要: Described herein is an implementation that reduces the battery consumption of an energy-constrained computing device that is capable of communicating over a wireless network. As conditions and circumstances warrant, the implementation selects one of multiple radios (e.g., two)—with each having a unique combination of characteristics (in terms of power-consumption, data-rate, range and/or frequency band of operation) for wireless communications to and from a wireless device. The implementation selects one radio to minimize power-consumption while maintaining effective wireless data communication. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which additional network communications capacity is provided to an oversubscribed base network where needed, through the use of dynamically provisioned communications links referred to as flyways. A controller detects a need for additional network communications capacity between two network machines, e.g., between two racks of servers with top-of-rack switches. The controller configures flyway mechanisms (e.g., one per rack) to carry at least some of the network traffic between the machines of the racks and thereby provide the additional network communications capacity. The flyway mechanisms may be based on any wireless or wired technologies, including 60 GHz technology, optical links, 802.11n or wired commodity switches.

    摘要: A “Wi-Fi Multicaster” provides a practical and efficient Wi-Fi multicast system for environments having potentially large numbers of Wi-Fi clients. Significantly, the Wi-Fi Multicaster does not require any changes to the 802.11 protocol, or to the underlying Wi-Fi infrastructure. In various embodiments, the Wi-Fi Multicaster uses pseudo-broadcast, and augments it with destination control, association control and optional proactive FEC (forward error correction) to improve multicast performance. More specifically, the Wi-Fi Multicaster system converts multicast packets to targeted unicast transmissions. To minimize the amount of airtime consumed, the Wi-Fi Multicaster uses destination control in combination with various algorithms for association control. Further, in various embodiments, the Wi-Fi Multicaster includes an adaptive, proactive FEC scheme to reduce overall packet losses. Finally, to overcome the challenges posed by encryption protocols such as 802.1x, the Wi-Fi Multicaster uses a “virtual multicast interface” that allows clients to “share” a common key for each multicast.
