  • System and method for discovering undiscovered nodes using a registry bit in a point-to-multipoint network
    Patent number: 7428586
    Abstract: Various embodiments and techniques are described for discovery in a network, and for automatically discovering one or more nodes of the network. In an embodiment a discovery loop may be implemented to detect new nodes that may have been added to the network. The data transmission from the nodes may be paused, and undiscovered nodes may be requested to identify themselves. Each node that identifies itself may then be configured by, for example, having a time slot assigned for data transmission from the node. Separate time slots may be assigned to allow multiple nodes to transmit data over certain types of networks without colliding with each other. Data transmission from the nodes may then be resumed.

  • Techniques to preserve bandwidth in a communication system
    Patent number: 7415656
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to preserve bandwidth in a communication system are described wherein a receiver receives a first frame of transport blocks from a mobile device and an error detection module connected to the receiver detects whether each transport block contains an error. The error detection module generates an error indicator value to indicate whether each transport block contains an error or does not contain an error. A frame generator connected to the error detection module generates a second frame with the transport blocks that do not contain an error and the error indicator values. A first network interface is configured to send the second frame to a radio network controller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
