摘要： A system and method for concurrent WLAN and WPAN wireless modes from a single device is presented. A client uses a Wi-Fi device's infrastructure mode to communicate in a WLAN environment and, during idle WLAN times, uses the Wi-Fi device's adhoc mode to communicate in a WPAN environment. The Wi-Fi device uses a watchdog timer to switch between infrastructure mode and adhoc mode. When the client's Wi-Fi device switches to infrastructure mode, the client's Wi-Fi device uses an infrastructure register and an infrastructure device driver to transfer data over the WLAN environment. Likewise, when the client's Wi-Fi device switches to adhoc mode, the client's Wi-Fi device uses an adhoc register and an adhoc device driver to transfer data over the WLAN environment. The client uses a code shim to act as a virtual device driver at times when either the infrastructure device driver or the adhoc device driver is inactive.

摘要： A wireless network access point is described which provides the resources of a backbone network to wireless clients. The access point is able to detect a degraded condition on the backbone network. Upon detecting the degraded condition, the access point selectively dissociates clients on the wireless network. In order to select which clients are dissociated first, a predetermined client dissociation policy is established. The policy can include account priority, bandwidth utilization, elapsed time since last transfer, and, amongst other criteria, whether the client is currently transferring in peer-to-peer mode on the wireless network. Upon detecting the degraded condition, either immediately or after a predetermined delay to ensure that the degraded condition is not temporary, clients on the wireless network are dissociated according to the preestablished policy.

摘要： A wireless network access point is described which provides the resources of a backbone network to wireless clients. The access point optimizes wireless local area network traffic by concentrating access point traffic toward a single protocol. In the example given, 802.11g clients are associated upon request. However, when an 802.1lb client initiates a first association request, the association is deferred. That 802.11b client will tend to seek access to the backbone network through association with another access point. However, should a second association request be received by the same 802.11b client, the client is associated in response to the second association request. Specific time limits can be imposed relative to the second association request.

摘要： A system and method for allowing an access point in a wireless network to operate at maximum speed includes determining if there is at least one client within the network that is operating at less than the maximum speed. If there is, then instruct the at least one client to decrease transmission range until the at least one client is no longer in range of the access point. Then, instruct a client at the maximum speed to interface with the at least one client to provide a peer-to-peer connection wherein the maximum speed client acts as an access point for the at least one client.

摘要： A method and system for wirelessly connecting a client device to a wireless network's access point. When a first client device detects a Wireless Broadcast Storm During Active Scan Association (WBSDAASA) caused by a large block of other client devices attempting to simultaneously wirelessly connect to the access point using an active scan, the first client device switches to either a passive scan or a random roam active scan to connect the first client device to the access point. The first client device is thus able to avoid a connection live-lock caused by the WBSDAASA.

摘要： A system and method for autonomic wireless presence ping is presented. An IS administrator wishes to collect capacity requirement information corresponding to a wireless network, such as the number of packets a client sends to and receives from an access point. The IS administrator sends a request to the access point. In turn, the access point sends a control packet to client devices it supports, instructing them to enable an enhanced presence ping bit. Each client enables its enhanced presence ping bit, and collect enhanced status information. Each client device sends the enhanced status information to the access point either when a timer expires, or when the client device receives a ping request from the access point. The access point then forwards the enhanced status information to the IS administrator for analysis.

摘要： A wireless network access point is described which provides the resources of a backbone network to wireless clients. The access point is able to minimize the performance impact on 802.11g clients in the presence of mixed in 802.11g/802.11b traffic by isolating wireless network traffic based on protocol. At least one 802.11g timer is maintained for 802.11g traffic. Request for transfers by 802.11b clients which are blind to 802.11g traffic are delayed until after the expiration of the 802.11g timer. Traffic for 802.11g clients proceeds unimpeded while the 802.11g timer is active. A similar timer is optionally maintained for 802.11b traffic.

摘要： A system and method for autonomic extensions to wake on LAN are presented. An access point detects wake on LAN (WOL) requests that are targeted for unassociated clients. When the access point detects a WOL request for an unassociated client, the access point stores the WOL request in a table for a predefined amount of time. A client queries the access point periodically to see if the access point is storing a WOL request which is targeted for the client. When the access point receives the query, the access point compares the client's identifier, such as its MAC address, with targeted client identifiers corresponding to pending WOL requests. When the access point detects a match, the access point sends the WOL request to the client for the client to process.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for rapid wireless network association. The apparatus includes a logic unit containing a plurality of modules configured to functionally execute the necessary steps of conducting a preliminary full band search on a predefined frequency spectrum to identify the frequency of an active communication channel, investigate the availability of the active communication channels identified during the preliminary search, and associate with a wireless network device on the available active communication channel. These modules in the described embodiments include a search module, an investigation module, and an association module. Beneficially such an apparatus, system, and method provide for more efficient searching, scanning, and association than typically found in wireless networks.
