  • Publication number: 20100220658
    Abstract: Techniques for ordered and duplicate-free delivery of wireless data frames are provided. A source address, a destination address, and a message sequence number are acquired from a wireless data frame. The message sequence number is compared against a last-received message sequence number, and a last-delivered message sequence number. The destination address is also compared to a current address. In response to the compares, a decision is made to forward the wireless data frame to the destination address, discard the wireless frame as a duplicate wireless data frame, queue the wireless data frame, or release the wireless data frame to a next protocol layer.

  • Patent number: 7697959
    Abstract: In a communication device compatible with either a SISO or MIMO access point, a set of antennas is configured as either sector-directional or omni-directional, depending upon whether the communication channel is characterized by the communication device as either strongly line of sight, or strongly scattering, respectively. In some embodiments, for the case in which a MIMO access point is utilized, the singular values of an estimated channel matrix are generated, and based upon the singular values, the characteristics of the communication channel is estimated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7515608
    Abstract: A media access controller (MAC) for wireless mesh networks comprises a quality-of-service (QoS) manager to monitor consumed bandwidth of a current application flow and to compare the consumed bandwidth with a contracted bandwidth for the current application flow. The MAC also comprises a contention manager to coordinate access to a wireless communication channel for communications with other nodes of the wireless mesh network. The QoS manager instructs the contention manager to employ signaling to request additional resources for the current application flow after the consumed bandwidth is significantly less than the contracted bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 7463644
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for dynamically adjusting carrier sensing threshold levels in a wireless, such as CSMA, system. A station may use the carrier sensing measurement made in normal CSMA operation to determine a threshold level for the local station, and transmit the determined level to other stations in the system. The station also receives similar information from other stations in the system and determines, based at least in part on the information received and the local determined threshold level, an optimal carrier sensing threshold level.

  • Publication number: 20080153502
    Abstract: A method for operating a communication station in a communicating environment includes: (a) monitoring the environment to ascertain whether the station is receiving an unintended sensed signal not intended for the station from at least one signal source; (b) if the station has not received a predetermined number of unintended sensed signals during a predetermined time interval, operating the station in an omni-directional mode; and (c) if the station has received a predetermined number of sensed signals during the predetermined time interval, saving an indication of a reception direction from which arrived each unintended sensed signal; and operating the station in a directional mode. While in the directional mode, the station is sensitive to receiving signals arriving from a sensing direction other than from a reception direction, and the station transmits signals toward the sensing direction.

  • Publication number: 20080084944
    Abstract: In a wireless local area network employing multiple-input-multiple-output stations, apparatuses and methods are disclosed to increase throughput of the network when the communication path between two communicating stations has a strong line-of-sight component. An embodiment performs a singular value decomposition on the channel matrix for the strongly line-of-sight channel, and transmits information regarding the singular value decomposition. Other stations may utilize this information to vector encode and vector decode their transmissions so as not to interfere with the two communicating stations, thereby increasing network utilization. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20070297365
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, directional and omni-directional messages are exchanged between two nodes during a control message exchange procedure in a wireless network. In other embodiments, only directional messages may be exchanged during the control message exchange. These directional and omni-directional control messages are used to provide location information to neighboring nodes which may overhear the control messages. The neighboring nodes may then be permitted transmit and receive in certain modes, depending on their location relative to one another.
