摘要： Some embodiments are directed to a method and apparatus for performing resource negotiation in a station implementing a direct communication link with at least one other station on an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) data channel. The station scans sub-channels on the data channel for base headers included in predefined position in transmissions sent on the sub-channel. The station then decodes a base header in at least one selected sub-channel to obtain parameters of a channel reservation. The obtained parameters are stored in a channel utilization table. The station selects a resource on the data channel in at least one of time or frequency that the station has observed to be free using information from the channel utilization table. The station then begins a resource negotiation process about the selected resource.

摘要： Disclosed are methods that associate “importance” information with chunks of a media presentation. An end-user device uses this information to intelligently manage resources when downloading or rendering the media presentation. An editor tags a chunk as important based on the contents of the chunk. The importance information includes a recommendation that this chunk be rendered at a higher-than-usual resolution and that the end-user device start downloading this chunk out of order. An advertiser recommends that an advertisement be rendered at a resolution high enough for the end user to view it appropriately. The importance information can include a recommended point at which to display the advertisement (e.g., between scenes in the media presentation). The end-user device can download advertisements before they are needed. Later, when the user requests a media presentation, an already downloaded advertisement is rendered while the initial chunks of the media presentation are downloaded.

摘要： A method and apparatus for quieting multiple channels on unlicensed spectrum is provided herein. During operation, a cluster head (or centralized controller such as a base station) will listen to determine if channels exist without primary system traffic. A message will then be sent out by the cluster head quieting the channels. All secondary nodes in the cluster will transmit a CTS-to-self if they do not hear any traffic by any primary system node (which may be nodes out of range of the cluster head) on the channels, otherwise they send a NAK on channels not being used by the hidden nodes. If a NAK is received by the cluster head, the process repeats until no NAK has been received. After the primary system is quieted, a poll message is sent by the cluster head to nodes instructing them to send a CTS-to-Self message so that the spectrum is quieted for the period indicated in the message.

摘要： A method and apparatus for operation of a node within a mobile ad hoc cognitive radio network is provided. The method includes sensing at least one assigned communications channel. Sensing at least one assigned communications channel includes measuring a value of at least one parameter corresponding to the communications channel. The method further includes comparing the measured value of the at least one parameter with a set of stored values of the at least one parameter to determine a change in the measured values. Finally a sleep mode of the node is activated for a time period, wherein the time period is determined using the change in the measured values.

摘要： A method of communicating in and around a localized wireless coverage area according to the present invention provides cellular coverage to a neighborhood cell (18) in which service might otherwise not be possible or in which a high percentage of calls would otherwise end up being dropped. Specifically, a neighborhood cell (18) is defined by either one or more fixed last hop nodes (20) or mobile last hop nodes (120). If a source mobile subscriber unit (12) communicates with a destination unit through wide area wireless network coverage, the source mobile subscriber unit (12) is handed over to ad hoc wireless network coverage either automatically or upon the occurrence of a high frame error rate when it enters the neighborhood cell (18) to maintain communication with the destination unit. If the source mobile subscriber unit (12) is already communicating through ad hoc wireless coverage within the neighborhood cell (18), it is handed over to wide area wireless network coverage when it exits the neighborhood cell (18) to maintain communication with the destination unit.

摘要： A system and method for data transmission in an ad hoc wireless communication network is useful for improving network efficiency. The method includes determining whether both high priority data and low priority data are queued for transmission from a sending node to a receiving node (step 620). When both high priority data and low priority data are queued for transmission, the high priority data and the low priority data are aggregated in an aggregated data frame (step 625). Finally, the aggregated data frame is transmitted to the receiving node (step 630).

摘要： A method of automatically prioritizing cells in a neighbor list of a communications system. The priority is defined as the number of times a cell in the neighbor list has been added to the active set. Cells that have been added to the active set more often are given a higher priority. Such higher priority cells are considered first for addition to the monitored set because they are more likely to successfully move from the monitored set to the active set.
