摘要:
Example method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to enable granting access rights to guest devices. Example embodiments include a method comprising receiving, by a first device, an input from a user of the first device to grant access rights to a wireless short-range communication network to a user of a second device when the first device is present within coverage of the wireless short-range communication network; and transmitting, by the first device, an access grant message to a control node managing the wireless short-range communication network, wherein the access grant message comprises one or more rules indicating that access rights for a second device are to be granted only when the first device is present within coverage of the wireless short-range communication network.
摘要:
A system for selectively expediting connection establishment between apparatuses. In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus may sense a first change in the disposition of the apparatus, and may initiate device discovery based on the first sensed change. A determination may then be made in the apparatus as to whether another apparatus encountered by the apparatus during device discovery satisfies a predetermined response criteria. The apparatus may then select the other apparatus if it is determined that the other apparatus satisfies the predetermined response criteria.
摘要:
A system for facilitating wireless communication in an apparatus that may be triggered by the realization of data for wireless transmission. A determination may then be made as to whether the data is intended for transmission to a certain recipient (e.g., a specific apparatus) or in a specific direction. The data may then be transmitted using directional wireless communication if a wireless transport is determined to be usable for transmitting the data in a direction based on the previous determination. If directional wireless communication is not available, the data may be transmitted via omnidirectional communication.
摘要:
A system for configuring communications in an apparatus. An apparatus may determine whether access to resources not in the apparatus is desired. If it is determined that access to the resource is desired, an access request may be sent to a resource manager. The apparatus may then receive connection information in response to the access request, and may then utilize the connection information when selecting a communication configuration usable for accessing the desired resources that are accessible via the other apparatus.
摘要:
A system for configuring wireless communication in apparatuses based on sensed spectrum information. Apparatuses interacting via a shared information space may exchange configuration information that may, for example, comprise communication transport information. The configuration information may then be utilized in formulating spectrum sensing parameters that are distributed to one or more of the apparatuses via the shared information space. The spectrum sensing parameters may be used by the apparatuses for performing signals sensing operations in their respective environments, the results of which may be shared via the shared information space. The spectrum sensing results may then be utilized to configure and/or manage communications in one or more of the apparatuses.
摘要:
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to improve power saving in wireless communication, more particularly in the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. Conventional Bluetooth packets include a preamble used for radio synchronization, an access address used for physical link identification, a protocol data unit (PDU) to carry the data and a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) to ensure correctness of the data in the PDU. When the sending device determines that it does not have any payload data or acknowledgment to previous data to send and yet it wants to keep the communication link alive with the receiving device, the sending device takes the following steps. The sending device uses a predefined access address in the Bluetooth packet, which is different from normal Bluetooth communication. Then the sending device omits including the PDU and the CRC in the packet. At the receiving device, the presence of the predefined access address in the Bluetooth packet indicates to the receiving device to keep the communication link alive when there is no actual payload data traffic between the devices. The predefined access address serves as an indication to the receiving device to keep the connection between the devices active/alive, but to not expect any payload data from the sending device.
