  • Patent number: 7978668
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium thereof for simultaneously establishing links with a plurality of nodes in a wireless network are provided. A processing module determines whether a mesh network configuration message of the apparatus has space to packet an information element and determines whether to transmit a Neighbor Link Establishment information element to one of the nodes. If the mesh network configuration message has space to packet an information element and the Neighbor Link Establishment information element needs to be transmitted to one of the nodes, the Neighbor Link Establishment information element will be packeted into the mesh network configuration message. Finally, a transmission module transmits the mesh network configuration message to the nodes in order to solve the problem of increasing time during link establishment and avoid deadlock among the nodes when the apparatus of the prior art establishes links with the nodes simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7792067
    Abstract: A wireless network scheduling control system and a method therefor are provided, which includes a first receiving/transmitting node, one or a plurality of second receiving/transmitting nodes, and an end receiving/transmitting node. When data is transmitted from the first receiving/transmitting node to the end receiving/transmitting node via the second receiving/transmitting node, a type of the transmitted data for being connected is determined. If a transmission sequence can be registered and reset, the end receiving/transmitting node enters a sleeping mode through a control signal, and the second receiving/transmitting node registers and resets the transmission sequence; otherwise, the transmission is performed according to a plan of an MAP. A technology of registering and reorganizing the data in a frame structure that is transmitted is utilized, such that the data relevant to the end receiving/transmitting node is received and transmitted as collectively as possible.
