Apparatus and method for improving throughput in a wireless device accessing coexisting networks. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes first and second wireless transceivers, a power state controller, and an access controller. The first wireless transceiver is configured to access a first wireless network. The second wireless transceiver is configured to access a second wireless network. The power state controller is configured to switch the first wireless transceiver between an active state and a sleep state. The power consumed by the first wireless transceiver while in the sleep state is reduced relative to the active state. The access controller is configured to alternately allocate a wireless medium to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The power state controller and the medium access controller are configured to coordinate power state switching of the first wireless transceiver and wireless medium access by the second wireless transceiver.

An integrated circuit includes logic configured to adjust an original service time of a first Wi-Fi Basic Service Set connection (“BSS”), out of a plurality of BSSs configured to be associated with a communication device, to an adjusted service time based on a time until beacon transmission or reception in any of the plurality of BSSs. At least one of the plurality of BSSs can support a peer-to-peer connection.

A wireless device comprises a first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, and control logic. The control logic is coupled to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The control logic is configured to determine whether to transmit protection frames (e.g., clear-to-send 2 self frames) based upon sequence numbers in frames received from another device.

An integrated circuit includes logic configured to adjust an original service time of a first Wi-Fi Basic Service Set connection (“BSS”), out of a plurality of BSSs configured to be associated with a communication device, to an adjusted service time based on an unsuccessful acknowledgement transmission or reception in a previous service time on the first BSS. At least one of the plurality of BSSs is supportive of a peer-to-peer connection.
摘要:
A system and method for reducing power consumption of a wireless device operating as a soft access point. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a soft access point controller that configures the wireless device to operate as a group owner in a peer-to-peer wireless local area network. The soft access point controller includes a beacon controller. The beacon controller is configured to transmit beacon frames at a first periodic interval. The beacon controller is also configured to extend a discovery interval of a wireless station by transmitting acknowledgement packets at a second periodic interval. The second periodic interval is shorter than the first periodic interval and shorter than a minimum discovery scan timeout of the wireless station.

A system and method for using reserved resources in coexisting wireless networks. In one embodiment, a wireless apparatus includes a receiver, a network activity monitor, and a network access scheduler. The receiver is configured to identify a received network reservation message that inhibits access to a first wireless network for an interval defined in the reservation message. The network activity monitor is configured to monitor wireless activity on the first wireless network during the interval. The network access scheduler is configured to determine whether the reservation message prevents conflict of the first wireless network with a coexisting wireless network during the interval, and to schedule, based on a determination that the reservation message prevents conflict with the coexisting wireless network, the wireless apparatus to transmit on the first wireless network during the interval to a wireless device other than a wireless device identified in the reservation message.

A system comprises radio circuitry, an access point (AP) feature, and a station (STA) feature. The AP feature causes the radio circuitry to transmit data to a hardware device during a beacon interval. The AP feature is not used to receive data from the hardware device during the beacon interval except to receive data request signals. The STA feature causes the radio circuitry to receive data from the hardware device during the beacon interval. The STA feature is not used to transmit data to the hardware device during the beacon interval except to transmit data request signals. The radio circuitry is in a de-powered state during the beacon interval when the radio circuitry does not transmit or receive data or data request signals.

A system and method for arbitrating channel access in a wireless device including co-located network transceivers are disclosed herein. A wireless device includes a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver. The first transceiver is configured for operation with a first wireless network. The second transceiver is configured for operation with a second wireless network. The wireless device further includes logic that determines which of the first and second transceivers is enabled to transmit at a given time. The logic causes the first transceiver to transmit a notification signal indicating a time period during which the second transceiver of the wireless device will perform a first wireless transaction, and during which, based on receiving the notification signal, a different wireless device performs a second wireless transaction via the second wireless network without transmitting a notification signal.
摘要:
A system composed of a node configured to transmit a first data stream to a first device using a first protocol and a second data stream to a second device using a second protocol. The system is also composed of a controller in communication with the node. The controller is configured to prioritize a first packet of the first data stream prior to transmission of the first packet. The prioritization is based on application layer information of the first packet. If the application layer information of the first packet indicates that the priority of the first packet is lower than the priority of a second packet of the second data stream, the controller causes the node to transmit the second packet.

A system and method for protecting a wireless device including co-located network transceivers from uplink starvation are disclosed herein. A wireless device includes a first wireless transceiver and a second wireless transceiver respectively configured for communication via a first wireless network and a second wireless network. The wireless device further includes logic that determines which of the first and second transceivers is enabled to transmit at a given time. The logic determines a duration of a pending transmission via the first transceiver, and determines a predicted start time of a predicted transmission via the second transceiver. Based on the duration and the predicted start time, the logic transmits a notification signal indicating that a receiving device should refrain from transmitting on the first network for a reserved time ending after the pending transmission starts. The pending transmission starts following completion of the predicted transmission.
