    摘要: In a wireless communication system (106), base stations (118, 120) are connected to a backbone network (116) such as a wired LAN and act as access points and relays for remote stations (128, 132, 136). A remote station registers and performs bidirectional communication with one of the base stations designated as its home base station. Base stations have overlapping coverage areas where a remote station is within reception range of several base stations. Such communication system may for instance be a multicell radioLAN using frequency hopping signaling. The method allows reuse of a limited number of network resources such as frequency hopping patterns and assign the same resource to several active base stations. Upon request from a base station, a network controller (110) connected to the backbone network computes a distance index between the requesting base station and the other active base stations and assigns to the requesting base station the same network resource as the one assigned to another base station with the highest distance index. Information about cells overlaps is centralized in a control database (109) and used by the network controller to compute distance indexes.

    摘要: A Medium Access (MAC) Protocol is utilized for wireless radio access for a plurality of remote stations to a base station on a LAN. There is a time division fixed frame structure in which time is slotted, and time slots are grouped into fixed frames consisting of data and control subframes or periods. The fixed frame structure consists of three periods (A, B, and C) along with their respective headers. The first period, the A period, is used exclusively for data transfer from the base station to the remote stations. The following period, the B period, is used for contention-free data transfer from the remote stations to the base station. The allocation of the data slots in the A and B periods is performed by the base station. The last period of the frame, designated as the C period, is used for the transmission of reservation requests and data from the remote stations to the base station in a random-access contention mode using a slotted Aloha protocol. The duration of the three periods may be varied using a movable boundary technique.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and system is provided by which two or more cooperating end-users of the Internet and/or other network can dynamically select and use a single Internet or other network service provider (ISP) from among a multitude of ISPs based on the application requirements. The service provider may be selected in a dynamic fashion. This overcomes the problem wherein traditionally most end-users, whether they are individuals or organizations, are connected to the Internet or other network through a single Internet and/or other network service provider. However, users generally may have more than a single connection to the Internet and/or other network. In such cases the routing of traffic over these multiple connections is handled by IP routers based on the routing information that they exchange with their peers. This information is relatively static in nature and is typically based on the state of links that interconnect the different routers. The invention provides a mechanism for the end-user to take advantage of different rates or services that might be provided by competing Internet and/or other network service providers. Furthermore, there are cases where the choice of which provider to use depends on the application. Thus this invention enables cooperating users (or sites of an organization) to dynamically select different providers on an application by application basis.
