摘要:
A method for use by a device communicating according to a short-range wireless connectivity protocol in attempting to establish a connection to another device using an enhanced inquiry and/or paging procedure as part of the connection procedure, the method including a step in which the device transmits a first packet for establishing a connection to the other device, and the other device responds with one or more response packets whose content depends on whether the other device is configured to perform the enhanced procedure. In some embodiments, the first packet is an identifier packet including extension data indicating via a predetermined bit pattern that the device is itself configured to perform the enhanced procedure.

Disclosed herein are techniques for the distribution of data to multiple devices in wireless networks, such as Bluetooth networks. This data may be unicast, multicast, or broadcast in nature. Designations, such as reserved addresses are used to indicate whether devices are transmitting multicast or broadcast data. These devices may be slave devices that rely on a master device to forward their transmissions to multiple devices.

A device for communicating via a radio communications channel, having a frequency that can hop between a plurality of frequencies, in a network comprising a plurality of devices, the device comprising: a radio transceiver for communicating with a first one of the plurality of devices via a first radio link using the radio communications channel; and means for determining a threshold, using an indication for the first radio link, for use in selecting candidate hop frequencies for the communications channel from the plurality of frequencies.
摘要:
One or more electromagnetic energy measurements are generated. Each of these measurements corresponds to an available communications bandwidth for a communications device and indicates a frequency of a radio frequency (RF) signal source. From these measurement(s), one or more interference sources are identified. These measurements may include a series of electromagnetic energy measurements over a predetermined time period. An interference source may be identified when each measurement in the series of electromagnetic energy measurements indicates an RF energy source at the same frequency. Each of these measurements may be stored. In addition, statistics regarding these measurements may be generated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for a implementing an optimized power conservation communication protocol, wherein the communication link is flexible and the power consumption characteristics are optimized. One facet of the system's flexibility relates to the system's ability to negotiate device control roles associated with a polling communication link. Also, once the device control roles are in place and the communication link is established, the system selectively implements a number of polling protocols for a multitude of applications that need a low power consumption. In some embodiments the system maintains a communication link with a reduced frequency polling protocol. This type of communication link maintains efficient power consumption characteristics, as well as, connection times that are faster than establishing a communication link between disconnected devices.

Various embodiments are disclosed relating to techniques to provide neighbor information in wireless networks and/or techniques to provide measurement pilot transmission information in wireless networks. According to an example embodiment, a neighbor report may be received from a first wireless node, the neighbor report including at least measurement pilot transmission information for one or more other wireless nodes. According to an example embodiment, a signal measurement technique for measuring signals from at least one of the one or more other wireless nodes may be determined based, at least in part, upon the neighbor report. According to another example embodiment, a message may be received from a first wireless node, the message including measurement pilot transmission information for the first wireless node. A signal measurement technique for measuring signals from the first wireless node may be determined based, at least in part, upon the received message.

An apparatus, method and system for beam-steering configurations and tests in a communication system. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a processor 620 and memory 650 including computer program code. The memory 650 and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor 620, cause the apparatus to receive a beam-steering test configuration from a serving network element in response to a request for a beam-steering test with a network element, and perform the beam-steering test with the network element in the beam-steering test configuration.
摘要:
The present invention reduces inter-network interference between simultaneously-operating closely situated short-range wireless networks. The system provides a central controller that, in addition to eliminating frequencies with known outside interference, may divide an available frequency range into groups of sub-bands that are assigned to the various wireless networks. The wireless communication modules controlling these networks operate only within these assigned sub-bands, and therefore are prevented from conflicting with each other.
