摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for offloading control of services in a mobile device to a non-cellular wireless network, such as Wi-Fi. The described system and method allow the overall connection management to be performed by an application processor, while services are handled in a modem using Wi-Fi connectivity. The Wi-Fi subsystem can be fully driven by the modem for time critical operations allowing the application processor to be off (or in low-power mode) when it is not involved in the delivery of services. Battery power is saved by being able to substantially power down the application processor.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for adapting a communication system to varying conditions. Using some form of discovery protocol, the communication standards supported by at least two communicants are determined. Each communicant may then periodically monitor the quality of the channel established by the communication standard and dynamically select a set of one or more communication standards to use for communicating. Further, when communicants share common non-standard parameterized implementations of communication standards, changes to the protocols which the communication standards comprise can be used to add options for a more dynamic response to changing conditions than is possible when adhering only to an established communication standard.

A method is provided to facilitate compliance with wireless communication regulations for a regulatory domain when creating or joining an ad hoc network. The method can include interacting with a driver of a wireless communication device to facilitate compliance. Another method is provided to offer an option to enable or disable prompting to verify a regulatory domain to use to create or join an ad hoc network. Another method is provided for facilitating compliance with wireless communication regulations for a plurality of regulatory domains. The method includes using a common channel as a communication channel for a wireless communication device when joining or creating an ad hoc network, wherein the common channel is common to the plurality of regulatory domains.

Systems and methodologies that facilitate a unification of bus protocols and networks via an abstraction system that can bind device models and higher level protocols to multiple bus implementations. Such abstraction system can provide a common language among buses for message transfers according to priority—e.g., semantics provided for a messaging transport component for control messages, a streaming component for high priority, and a bulk transfer component for low priority. In addition, a discovery component can identify devices on a bus or network, with an association component for determining a trust established therebetween and authenticating the devices or services.

The present invention relates to a system and method for configuring and managing network devices. The arrival (and departure) of devices on a network can be detected by a monitor. Upon detection, network devices can be simply and dynamically configured with little or no end-user intervention, for instance by automatically loading device drivers and allocating resources for the devices. Furthermore, network devices can be associated with other network devices such as a personal computer to facilitate seamless integration of network devices with a computer operating system.

A wireless communication system for asynchronous transfer mode includes the dynamic assignment of signalling virtual channels and/or virtual paths for communications between a mobile terminal and a controller or control function. An access point associated with the wireless mobile terminal is transparent for transmitted data and control information. The dynamic assignment of the signalling virtual channel (SVC) takes place in the event of new registration to the system and handover from one access point to another. The protocol uses finite state machines and timers at the mobile terminal and at the control function. For new registrations, an assignment channel is used on a broadcast uplink from the mobile terminal to the control function to request the SVC, while the response from the control function is transmitted on the downlink broadcast channel. The response contains the unique SVCI to be used by the mobile terminal and the control function for further signalling between them. A loss of carrier connection is detected by exchanging alive messages. If there is no response to the alive messages, pending connections are released and assigned SVCs are freed. Handover from one access point to another is initiated by the mobile terminal. A new SVCI is assigned by the control function as part of the messages exchanged during the handover protocol.

A wireless communication system for asynchronous transfer mode includes the dynamic mapping of ATM cells on a wireless ATM link into a unique Virtual Path on a wired ATM link, and in the reverse direction as well. The access point includes a radio medium access controller which assigns a unique radio connection identifier RCI to the wireless link established between the access point and a mobile terminal. The Virtual Path identifier (VPI) used on the fixed link is selected based on the RCI assigned by the access point. The radio connection identifier RCI remains unchanged as long as the mobile terminal is associated with that access point. ATM cells sent from the control function include the VPI and are mapped by the access point into the connection referenced by the RCI. ATM cells from the mobile terminal are received on a particular connection. According to the connection identifier (RCI) cells are mapped by the access point into a particular Virtual Path, which corresponds to the RCI.

Techniques and tools are described for transmitting beacon messages using a wireless communication protocol, such as the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. In some examples, beacon messages can be generated in a compact format and included in an AdvData portion of a payload of a protocol data unit of a Bluetooth Low Energy advertising channel packet. A beacon message can be transmitted from a stationary beacon generation device and broadcast to an area within a transmission range of the beacon generation device, and mobile computing devices, such as mobile phones, can receive the beacon message and perform one or more actions in response to information contained in the beacon message, all while conserving energy used by the beacon generation device and the mobile computing device.
