    摘要: A communication channel is controlled so as to dynamically accommodate network client requests for access thereto. The communication channel may be supported on a wireless link, such as a spread spectrum wireless link, and client requests for access thereto may be dynamically accommodated by allocating time slots for client transmissions on the wireless link. Providing a quiet time slot within which clients may request access to the communication channel may accommodate various client requests for access to the communication channel. These quiet slots may exist with other forward and reverse time slots which are superimposed on the communication channel, each forward and reverse time slot including one or more data frames. The forward and reverse time slots are preferably fixed, but negotiable, time periods. Each of the data frames may include a plurality of data packets, each of the data packets being variable in length. Preferably, each of the data packets includes error correction coding information as well as information which may be used to synchronize pseudo-random number generators of a transmitter and a receiver operating according to the communication protocol. Each of the data frames may further include link identification information that uniquely identifies a wireless link supporting the communication protocol.

    摘要: Transport stream (TS) packets containing sections of IP datagrams for an application level process are received and correct ones of said sections are stored into an MPE-FEC frame buffer of a receiver. Stored ones of said sections are reorganized within the frame buffer so as to leave appropriate positions, marked for erasure, within the frame buffer available for corrected data. Data bytes stored at the appropriate positions may be corrected using Reed-Solomon parity data stored in the frame buffer and then subsequently written back thereto.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling transmit power of a wireless communication device includes processing that begins when a transmitting wireless communication device transmits a packet to a targeted wireless device via a wireless channel of a communication system at a 1st power level. The processing continues by having the targeted wireless device determining signal strength of the packet received via the wireless channel. The processing then continues when the targeted and/or transmitting device determines the adequacy of the 1st power level based on the determined signal strength. If the 1st power level is adequate, the transmitting wireless device continues to transmit information at the 1st power level. If, however, the 1st power level is not adequate, the transmitting communication device adjusts its transmit power up or down to provide an adequate power level.

    摘要: Synchronization within a common communication channel having designated transmission time slots for various devices of a computer network is maintained by allowing transmissions within the channel outside of a network device's designated time slot when a clear channel assessment indicates that a previous time slot is not being utilized by its associated device and/or upon receipt of an indication of the end of a transmission of another device in the network. The clear channel assessment preferably takes into account the device's designated transmission time slot within the communication channel with respect to those of other network devices and may be a time period that is the product of a predetermined clear channel waiting time and a numerical representation of the device's designated transmission time slot within the communication channel with respect to those of other network devices. The clear channel waiting time itself may be specified by a network master device as part of a network connection process. The network device may be configured to construct one or more packets for transmission within the network in advance of its designated time slot to accommodate these early transmissions.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for dynamic frequency selection in a wireless communication system or network includes processing that begins when an access point determines interference on a wireless channel that is being used by the access point. When the interference exceeds an interference threshold, the access point provides a request packet to affiliated stations being serviced by the access point for channel spectrum information. The processing continues as the affiliated stations generate the channel spectrum information regarding each of the wireless channels in the wireless communication network. The processing proceeds then as the affiliated stations provide the channel spectrum information to the access point via the current wireless channel. The access point interprets the channel spectrum information to determine a desired wireless channel of the plurality of wireless channels within the wireless communication network. The access point then provides a selection packet to the affiliated stations via the current wireless channel to indicate that the access point will begin using the desired wireless channel at a particular future time.

    摘要: Admission to a computer network is provided by having a network device listen to a communication channel communicatively coupling two or more components of the computer network. In some cases, the network device may then transmit a connection request to a controller of the computer network within a designated time slot of the communication channel. In other cases, the connection request may be transmitted without requiring the network device to be polled. The connection request may be confirmed by transmitting the connection request from the controller to network device periodically, until a response from the first network device is received by the controller. Upon confirmation, the controller may send to the network device, a connection agreements package, which includes information regarding time slots within the communication channel to be used by the controller for transmitting information to the first network device. The connection agreement packet may further include information regarding time slots within the communication channel to be used by the network device when transmitting information to the controller. Thus, during normal communications, data from the network device destined for the controller may be transmitted in the time slots designated in the connection agreement packet. In some cases, the information sent between the network device and the controller includes packets and, in such cases, the connection agreement may include information regarding a maximum number of bytes the network device can send or expect to receive in each packet, for each type of data included in a packet.
