Abstract:
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for forming a mobile ad hoc network having a plurality of wireless communication links connecting a plurality of wireless mobile nodes. The present invention may apply a dynamic spectrum awareness algorithm to facilitate effective utilization of the available communications spectrum in an environment of the mobile ad hoc network, support both delay-sensitive and delay-tolerant traffic types on the mobile ad hoc network, and provide a defined quality of communications service for both the delay-sensitive and the delay-tolerant traffic.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for realizing MBRI networks and network devices using commercial off-the-shelf components (e.g., chipsets) conforming to the 802.11 networking standards. In particular, a physical layer is provided at or below the medium access control layer that adapts the lowest level of a hardware chipset to the MBRI protocol. Also disclosed are methods of managing and operating an integrated MBRI router that supports a tightly or loosely coupled WiFi MAC and PHY layer operations in an all-IP mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with carrier grade network performance and improved spectrum utilization through IP transparent routing, media access control and physical layer convergence protocols.

Abstract:
Enhancements are disclosed to improve communications within a wireless ad hoc network for mobile nodes. Mobile nodes may move at a speed where benefit may be seen from anticipating where the node will be in the future. Routing is described which estimates the location where the next communication will take place and packets are sent to one or more corresponding locations. Various other described techniques provide for enhanced wireless communications.
Abstract:
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile broadband routable internet (MBRI) providing for carrier-grade, networked, broadband, IP-routable communication among a plurality of mobile devices, where the mobile devices may represent a plurality of nodes that are linked together through a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Mobile devices may operate as peers in a peer-to-peer network, with full IP routing capabilities enabled within each mobile device, thereby allowing routing of IP-based traffic, including deployment of applications, to the mobile device without need for infrastructure conventionally required for mobile ad hoc networks, such as cellular telephony infrastructure. Full IP-routing to mobile devices may allow seamless integration to the fixed Internet, such as through fixed or mobile access points, such as for backhaul purposes. Thus, the MBRI may function as a standalone mobile Internet, without connection to the fixed Internet, or as an IP- routable extension of another network, whether it be the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, a cellular network, a personal area network, or some other type of network that is capable of integration with an IP-based network.

Abstract:
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile, broadband, routable internet in environments, markets, management systems, web applications, mobile applications, devices, and the like, in which a plurality of mobile devices interact as nodes in a mobile ad hoc network and in which packets are IP routable to the individual device independent of fixed infrastructure elements. Certain environments may be enabled on the mobile broadband routable internet by one or more enablers associated with the mobile broadband routable internet.
