摘要:
The present invention provides techniques for responding to overlapping conditions in wireless communications networks include receiving data transmissions from a transmitting device across a wireless communications network. These data transmissions correspond to a connection with the transmitting device and occur within a reserved portion of a communications resource. An interference condition is detected that includes an allocation of the communications resource for a neighboring device that overlaps with the reserved portion. Based on this detection, the method sends a notification to the transmitting device, the notification indicating the presence of overlapping transmissions in the reserved portion of the communications resource.

摘要:
A wireless communications device detects a change in its residual energy status, and transmits the residual energy status across a wireless communications network to a remote device that coordinates communications in the wireless communications network. For example, the remote device may be a piconet coordinator (PNC) in an IEEE 802.15.3 network, or a master device in a Bluetooth network. A wireless communications device that coordinates communications in a wireless communications network (the coordinator) transmits one or more first handover commands to one or more remote devices upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Based on responses to these first commands, the coordinator selects a remote device for coordinating future communications in the wireless communications network.

A method, system and program code are provided to implement a wireless network having a plurality of devices in which one of the devices coordinates wireless communications between the devices. The method and system evaluates device parameters of one or more of the plurality of devices, the device parameters including at least available power source characteristics for a device; and determines a coordinator from the plurality of devices based on at least the available power source characteristics, such as an available power source capacity, for the one or more of the plurality of devices, the coordinator adapted to coordinate wireless communications between the devices in the wireless network.
摘要:
A method and system for establishing a wireless communications link determines, through a first short-range communications link of a first type, whether a remote device is capable of supporting a short-range communications link of a second type. If so, information is exchanged with the remote device across the first communications link to establish a second short-range communications link of the second type. Once established, communications with the remote device across the second short-range communications link may commence. The first communications link may be a Bluetooth link and the second communications link may be an ultra wideband (UWB) link.
摘要:
A condition of a short-range wireless communications link is determined. From this determination, one or more frequency hopping patterns are selected for the short-range wireless communications link. The selected pattern(s) may employ different frequencies for adjacent time slots when the determined condition indicates the short-range wireless communications link is susceptible to inter-symbol interference (ISI). Conversely, the selected patterns may employ the same frequencies for two or more adjacent time slots when the determined condition indicates the short-range wireless communications link is not susceptible to ISI.
摘要:
A method of coordinating devices in a wireless network is provided. First capability data associated with a first type of power source and a first state of the power source of a first device is received at a second device. Second capability data is transmitted to the first device from the second device. The second capability data is associated with a second type of power source and a second state of the power source of the second device. The first capability data is compared with the second capability data at the second device. If the comparison indicates the first capability data is less desirable than the second capability data, the second capability data is transmitted again to the first device from the second device. If the comparison indicates the first capability data is more desirable than the second capability data, the first capability data is received again from the first device at the second device.
摘要:
A device participates in a wireless communications network having a coordinator device that is responsible for allocating resources in the wireless communications network. Further, the device establishes a peer-to-peer connection with a remote device in the wireless communications network. This peer-to-peer connection is based on a reservation of resources from the coordinator device, wherein the reservation has one or more timing parameters. Upon detecting a disappearance of the coordinator device from the wireless communications network, communications with the remote device continues according to the one or more timing parameters of the peer-to-peer connection.
摘要:
A first device participates in a wireless communications network having a transmission medium designated for exchanging wireless signals in a first format that is associated with the wireless communications network. A portion of the transmission medium is reserved for the transmission of signals in a second format, which may be incompatible with the first format. Accordingly, one or more signals of the second format are transmitted to a remote wireless communications device. These one or more signals of the second format facilitate the remote wireless communications device's participation in the wireless communications network. Accordingly, the remote wireless communications device may be awakened from a sleep state or a hibernation state.
摘要:
A wireless device transmits beacon packets at periodically occurring time intervals across a wireless channel. When the wireless communications device has not formed a piconet with one or more remote devices, the device scans the wireless channel for a predetermined amount of time immediately following each of the periodically occurring time intervals. During this time a remote device may respond to the beacon packet.
