    摘要: The throughput of a Request-to-Send and Clear-to-Send (RTS/CTS) based distributed media access control protocol is improved by reserving the medium in a hierarchical fashion. The shared medium is reserved for two stations called the participants. During the reserved period, a master (or primary) attribute and a slave (or secondary) attribute are given to the participants and the medium is shared between them using any suitable coordination algorithm. During the reserved time, the secondary can signal the primary station that it has data to send to the primary station and request that the primary and secondary roles or attributes be exchanged. In the case that a role exchange takes place, control of the medium is transferred from one station to another and data transfer in an opposite direction can take place without requiring another reservation. Observing stations which are not participating in the reservation can be invited to join the reservation as additional secondary stations if this does not cause any interference to any other existing reservations. The efficiency of the medium reservation may be improved also by piggy-backing any reservation specific signals onto data packets and by defining new response frames such as Hold-to-Send (HTS) and Free-to-Send (FTS) for flow control when there is a congested receiving station.

    摘要: Rate management in adaptive data rate wireless communication systems in which communicating stations move with respect to one another implements algorithms for calculation of the repetition rate. A rate management module is used for selecting a proper value of repetition rate to be communicated back to sending station and for a selecting proper value of repetition rate to encode the data at the sending station. The repetition rate calculation procedure enables each station to dynamically calculate the optimum rate with which each station should be receiving information from another station. The repetition rate calculation procedures take into consideration past and present measurements of the link quality, age of the link quality measurements, speed of change in the link quality, packet types, packet lengths, received signal strength, and pattern and correlation in the link quality measurements. The rate management module utilizes one or more tables which are accessible from either hardware or software.

    摘要: Fairness algorithms and access methods enable non-zero channel access for wireless communication systems operating in a random access channel environment. Fair access to a random access channel for each station in a wireless network is assured by each station calculating a priority or probability for accessing the channel based on logical connections among certain stations, based on other stations perception of the channel and based on each calculating station's own perception of the channel properties.

    摘要: A repeater that has a receiver for receiving a signal. A validation module determines whether a signature is present in the received signal. An invalidation module determines whether undesired signal components are present in the received signal. The received signal is transmitted if the signature is present and if the undesired signal components are not present.

    摘要: The present invention provides shared communication medium capability to the plethora of computer devices, like the PCCAs, that normally are able to communicate with other devices via dedicated point-to-point links, e.g., via the practically universal RS-232 ports. It allows the sharing of the communication medium in a dynamic fashion depending on the instantaneous traffic demands by the various communicating devices. It further allows the emulation of point-to-point links over the shared communications medium in such a way that applications running on a PCCA use the shared medium transparently. Thus, this invention enables applications designed to operate over a point-to-point connection to operate over the shared medium without any modifications of the applications or the point-to-point devices. It enables the shared medium communications and dynamic communication resource allocation by using a device's I/O ports designed for point-to-point communications with dedicated communication resource allocation.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and computer product for a mobile device to roam securely and seamlessly from one access point to another access point without disrupting an active PPP connection. The method includes establishing, maintaining, and terminating a PPP connection between a mobile device and a PPP server via an access point, wherein the mobile device is equipped with a serial asynchronous communication interface. The PPP server is attached to a packet switched data network, and the access point is acting as a bridge between the serial communication interface and the packet switched communication interface. Also provided is a method to emulate a direct RS-232 cable connection between a mobile device and another computer located several hops away from the mobile device. It provides a method of keeping the RS-232 cable emulation between the mobile device an another computer system intact despite changes in mobile device's location in the network. It also provides a method of exchanging cookies between peers at the PPP connection establishment time and using them for fast reauthentication. This is a secure method of switching from one PPP proxy to another PPP proxy without disrupting the end to end PPP connection.
