Abstract: A Universal Repeater (UR) configured to pair with an uplink in a network. The UR may include an interface configured to interface wirelessly with a uplink along a selected route between the UR and an access point (AP) in a network; and a memory having machine executable code therein that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to determine the uplink based on data received from a plurality of candidate uplinks, and instruct the interface to pair with the uplink.

Abstract: An access point including a memory; at least one network interface configured to interface over a network with one or more of a other access point and a user equipment (UE); and a processor configured to, establish, via the at least one interface, a virtual link with the UE based on the respective one of the at least one virtual address, and transfer the virtual link to the other access by transmitting a command to the other AP to set, after a time period, at least one network interface associated therewith to be addressable via the respective one of the at least one virtual address, and disassociating the at least one network interface and the respective one of at least one virtual address after the time period.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, a device includes a processor. The processor is configured to determine a plurality of data transmission rates between at least one client, an access point and the device belonging to a wireless network, determine a best communication route, from among available communication routes for the at least one client to communicate with the access point based on the determined plurality of data transmission rates and direct the at least one client to communicate with the access point via the determined best communication route.

Abstract: An access point is configured to determine a frequency channel to operate on. The access point includes a storage element having machine executable code therein that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to determine the frequency channel with a highest data throughput among available frequency channels, which may undergo different levels of interference.

Abstract: A method of enabling extended range communication between a first low power digital radio device and a second low power digital radio device via an intermediate access point; which intermediate access point has a low power digital radio interface and an other communications interface and forms part of a communication network; wherein the intermediate access point is adapted to perform a proxy function for the second low power digital radio device, thereby to enable the first low power digital radio device to send and receive data to the second low power digital radio device via the intermediate access point.

Abstract: An access point is configured to pair with other access points in a network. The access point includes at least two interfaces configured to interface to other access points over a link layer therein using heterogeneous backhaul access technologies; and a memory having machine executable code, therein that, when executed by a processor, cause the at least two interfaces to pair with one or more of the other access points using configuration information stored within the memory.

Abstract: A gateway device includes an input port for receiving Internet signals, a single RF module, a memory and a processor. The memory has computer executable instructions stored therein, wherein execution of the computer executable instructions by the processor causes the processor to retrieve a channel monitoring time from the memory. The execution of the computer executable instructions further causes the processor to monitor selected channels and develop and store in the memory a value of a confidence level for each channel. Each channel is monitored for a predetermined period of time between transmissions of data and the confidence level associated with a channel indicates the probability that frequencies associated with such channel are used by a radar system.
