  • Publication number: 20060067290
    Abstract: A game device is provided with an SSID setting unit and a channel setting unit. The SSID setting unit sets up an SSID to include an application ID uniquely defined for an application to be executed. For example, when an application A is executed, the SSID is set up to include “TITLE_A”. When an application B is executed, the SSID is set up to include “TITLE_B”. The channel setting unit sets up a communication channel based on the SSID such that the communication channel used in the BSSs do not overlap each other as much as possible.

  • Publication number: 20050250487
    Abstract: A game device is provided with a processor and an air interface apparatus. In a wireless communication environment such as that of IEEE802.11, a CPU of the air interface apparatus selects, in a search process, an SSID that includes at least in a portion thereof a predetermined pattern. Network information including the selected SSID is retained in a memory unit as a BSS list registering wireless networks that are targets, for connection. The processor refers to the BSS list and determines a wireless network to participate in.

  • Publication number: 20050216822
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for performing data transfer that can ensure QoS of data transmitted and received are provided. IEEE802.1p priority tags as priority identifiers are set under control of a tag managing terminal. A priority tag is set for a data flow to be subjected to priority processing, for example, to be guaranteed QoS so as to prevent duplicate use of a queue in a communication control apparatus such as a switch or the like connected to a network. The tag managing terminal for example converts a queue use state in intra-subnetwork communication into a table, and retains the table. In response to a queue request from each terminal, the tag managing terminal refers to the table and then assigns a tag. The communication control apparatus such as the switch or the like that executes data transfer control prevents duplicate queue generation for data flows to be subjected to priority processing only by processing using the priority table associating tags with queues.

  • Publication number: 20050169176
    Abstract: A transmitter, a communication system, and a communication method capable of realizing communication of more than a set bandwidth with respect to a packet communication with a bandwidth guarantee set therefore by using a set bandwidth as the minimum guaranteed bandwidth, wherein when a transmitter transmits packet data, it decides whether or not packet communication guarantees a bandwidth based on a guaranteed bandwidth set in advance, and adds a first identifier to the packet data when guaranteeing bandwidth, and adds a second identifier when not guaranteeing the bandwidth.
