    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for performing channel aggregation to communicate over a non-contiguous spectrum, such as television white space (TVWS), using a plurality of aggregated channels including a primary channel and at least one non-primary channel (e.g., a secondary channel, a tertiary channel or a quaternary channel). Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) may be performed on the primary channel to obtain access to the primary channel. After waiting an arbitration interframe space (AIFS) and potentially performing backoff on the primary channel, the aggregated channels may be used for transmission. A buffer controller may be used to create, for each of a plurality of access classes (ACs), a logic buffer for each of the channels. A frame controller may be used to provide the buffer controller with aggregated medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame information, and control aggregation and fragmentation processes.

    摘要: Techniques for sending an aggregated beacon in a cognitive wireless network are disclosed. A beacon device may segment beacon information and send beacon segments via a plurality of channels simultaneously. A certain information elements of the beacon information may be included in each beacon segment. Each beacon segment may include channel information for other beacon segments that are transmitted simultaneously. Alternatively, a discovery beacon may be transmitted in addition to a regular beacon. The discovery beacon may include information indicating an operating channel on which the regular beacon is transmitted. The discovery beacon may be transmitted using a predetermined channel bandwidth, with a smaller beacon interval than the regular beacon, or in a frequency hopping fashion. The discovery beacon may be sent on a channel selected based on a regulatory class and corresponding channel information. The discovery beacon may be transmitted on a side channel.
