摘要:
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments of the invention are disclosed to improve the discovery of wireless networks. In example embodiments of the invention, a method comprises: listening by an apparatus, to wireless discovery request messages transmitted by one or more wireless devices; listening by the apparatus, to wireless discovery response messages from one or more other wireless devices; and modifying transmission by the apparatus, of one or more of its own wireless discovery request messages based on at least one of the wireless discovery request messages listened to or the wireless discovery response messages listened to.
摘要:
Methods, apparatuses, and a computer program are presented for utilizing, by a wireless communication apparatus of a first network, a proxy apparatus of a second network, wherein the channels of the two networks overlap. The proxy apparatus is used to reserve the overlapping channels also in the second network so as to protect data transmissions in the first network and to avoid collisions.

摘要:
This document discloses a solution for preparing for a connection establishment in a wireless network. According to an aspect, transmission of a request message from the wireless apparatus is carried out on a channel. Thereafter, a response message is acquired on said channel as a response to the request message, the response message being originated from a second wireless apparatus which is in an unassociated state with said wireless apparatus, and the response message comprising information on at least two wireless networks operating on at least one of said channel and another channel. Then, the received response message may be utilized in the connection establishment.

This document discloses a solution for transmitting scanning response messages in an orderly manner in a wireless network. An access node determines a transmission order for a plurality of access nodes responding to a scanning request message provided by a scanning/requesting device. Then, the access node determines its own transmission turn within the transmission order and transmits a scanning response message with reduced channel contention. Another aspect relates to the scanning device arranged to receive the scanning response messages where the scanning device monitors the transmission order of the scanning response messages.
摘要:
There is provided a method comprising: causing a station capable of communication in a wireless network to acquire knowledge of a medium usage indicator with respect to at least one channel applicable for transmission of a scanning request; and determining a transmission time for a next scanning request at least partly based on the medium usage indicator.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program for monitoring messages transmitted in a wireless network are disclosed. On the basis of the monitoring, it is determined that a transmission rate of messages is not sufficient upon detecting no message within a minimum transmission time interval and, upon determining that the transmission rate of messages is not sufficient, an access point of the wireless network is caused to transmit a scanning message.
摘要:
In a non-limiting and example embodiment, a method is provided for arranging multi-channel wireless communications, including detecting, by a communications apparatus, information on available bandwidth for a transmission opportunity applying multiple channels, and controlling duration of channel occupancy for at least one of channels available for the transmission opportunity on the basis of the information on available bandwidth.
摘要:
Methods, apparatuses, and a computer program are presented for determining a reservation period for data transmission in a wireless communication network. The duration of the reservation period is determined on the basis of RTS/CTS handshake between a transmitter and a receiver apparatus.
