摘要:
A wireless device may perform one or more omnidirectional scans for network wireless devices. Based at least in part on results of those omnidirectional scans, the scanning wireless device may determine that one or more directional scans should be performed. The scanning wireless device may then select one or more scan directions and perform a directional scan in each of those scan directions.

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.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program for controlling transmission power of a radio apparatus are provided. The method includes: determining, in a radio apparatus configured to support a cellular radio access technology in communication with a cellular counterpart apparatus and a short range radio access technology in communication with a short range counterpart apparatus, a maximum total transmit power of the radio apparatus; causing the radio apparatus to use a first transmit power level in transmission to the cellular counterpart apparatus; determining a remaining transmission power margin by computing a difference between the maximum total transmit power and the first transmit power level; and causing the radio apparatus to autonomously limit a second transmit power level to fall within the remaining transmission power margin and to use the second transmit power level in transmission to the short range counterpart apparatus.
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.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program is presented for scanning in a wireless network. A wireless device receives a downlink frame from two access points, the downlink frames indicating their respective transmission powers. The wireless device then determines the closest access point and a transmission power sufficient to reach that access point. Then, the wireless device carries out transmission of a probe request with the determined transmission power.
摘要:
One embodiment is directed to a method of cell selection/reselection. The method includes gathering discovery information of a secondary radio access technology (RAT) by listening to a single primary radio access technology (RAT). The method may further include performing cell selection/reselection using the discovery information.
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, an apparatus, and a computer program are presented for carrying out channel reservations in a wireless communication system. A communication apparatus initiates a preliminary channel reservation procedure initiating related to a spatial multiplexing group transmission. The communication apparatus is caused to transmit during the preliminary channel reservation procedure a reservation request message announcing a preliminary group reservation on the channel. Upon completed preliminary channel reservation procedure, the communication apparatus is caused to utilize the preliminary group reservation by causing transmission of a frame on the reserved channel according to the spatially multiplexed wireless communication.
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.
