Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for providing a transition between predictive and mobile-assisted spectral allocation. In some examples, wireless devices may be enabled to determine adequacy of their allocated spectral path to meet their communication needs by analyzing signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of their assigned sub-carriers. If a wireless device determines a current sub-carrier to be inadequate based on the analysis, d may send information associated with preferred sub-carriers to a base station. The base station may determine one or more nearby good clusters based on a comparison of a sequence of received preferred sub-carriers and the spectral paths represented by the nearby duster centers, and select a re-allocated spectral path with shortest information distance to the sequence of preferred sub-carriers.
Abstract:
Technology is generally described for computing paths between geographical localities. In some examples, the technology can receive a request for a path between two or more geographical localities, and compute a path based at least on a popularity rating of intermediate geographical localities.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for discerning patterns in the “goodness” or “badness” of time-frequency slots to allow predictive allocation of spectral resources that may be appropriate for a wireless user. According to some examples, information on device location, time slots, sub-carrier(s) allotted for each time slot, and quality indicators may be received from mobile devices. The time slots may be grouped by location to form analysis intervals. A time-frequency vector may then be identified for each analysis interval and a unit of geographic grid. A “goodness” indicator may be computed for each time-frequency vector. Clusters of time-frequency vectors may be categorized for each analysis interval and associated unit of geographic grid such that mobile devices can be assigned “good” clusters through sub-carrier allocation.
Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for reducing spectral allocation conflicts in wireless networks. In some examples, two (or more) wireless devices with intersecting spectral allocation may be identified, followed by determination of one or more time-frequency vectors of the spectral allocation for one of the wireless devices that have a first overlap with one or more time-frequency vectors of the spectral allocation of the other wireless device. For each determined time-frequency vector, an alternate time-frequency vector may be determined such that a second overlap between the alternate time-frequency vector and the time-frequency vectors of the other wireless device is lower than the first overlap. The alternate time-frequency vector may be transmitted to the wireless device to enable that device shift its communication to the alternate time-frequency vector for enhanced communication performance.

Abstract:
Technologies are generally provided for single-slot bi-directional message exchange that allows two nodes to transmit in the same time-slot at the same frequency. The transmissions may be relayed to the destination node within the same time-slot. An interfering signal generated by each node may appear time-offset in the same time slot as it was transmitted, superimposed on the message signal from the other terminal. Roundtrip and cross-trip delay estimates and channel estimates may be determined at each node. Transmitted signals may be recovered at the destination nodes based on the roundtrip and cross-trip delay estimates and channel estimates.
