  • Patent number: 11240655
    Abstract: A mobile device may transition between Extended Service Set (“ESS”) networks while maintaining the same internet protocol (“IP”) address while transitioning. The transition may occur seamlessly, such that a consumer never loses the network connection despite transitioning between networks. The mobile device may receive an IP address from a pool of addresses, such that the mobile device can keep that IP address as it is transitions between networks that each have access to the pool. The assignment of the IP address to the mobile device is from the pool of IP addresses rather than from the AP.

  • Patent number: 11147042
    Abstract: A wireless communication system to deliver pages to wireless communication devices based on a Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) network identifier. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) access points exchange wireless communications to serve a wireless communication device and transfer corresponding service messages to a paging control system. The paging control system processes the service messages to identify the current OFDM access point serving the wireless communication device. A WIFI gateway system receives a series of authorization requests for the wireless communication device to access a series of WIFI communication networks. The authorization requests indicate WIFI network identifiers. The WIFI gateway system transfers WIFI access authorizations to the WIFI communication networks. The wireless communication device is idle on the OFDM access points when on a WIFI communication network.

  • Patent number: 11140731
    Abstract: A data transmission method, a communication device, and a data transmission system are disclosed. The method includes: determining to-be-transmitted data that needs to be sent to a network side device; before an initial transmission moment of transmitting the to-be-transmitted data to the network side device arrives, sending the to-be-transmitted data to a coordinating device; receiving the to-be-transmitted data sent by the target device; obtaining transmission parameter information; and when the initial transmission moment corresponding to the to-be-transmitted data arrives, sending the received to-be-transmitted data to the network side device based on the transmission parameter information. Therefore, when the target device needs to send the to-be-transmitted data to the network side device, the coordinating device may help the target device perform initial transmission of the to-be-transmitted data, thereby increasing a success probability of initial transmission, and further improving link reliability.

  • Patent number: 11134510
    Abstract: Technologies transmit scheduling in multi-radio devices are described. One multi-radio device includes first and second radios and a scheduler circuit. The scheduler circuit outputs a first signal to the radios in a first mode in which the first radio is transmitting first data and the second WLAN radio is transmitting second data concurrently. The first signal increases a first clear channel assessment energy detect (CCA-ED) threshold to a second CCA-ED threshold. The scheduler circuit outputs a second signal to the second WLAN radio in a second mode. The second signal causes transmission of fourth data to be delayed until after the first radio completes reception of third data. In a third mode, the scheduler circuit outputs a third signal to the first WLAN radio. The third signal causes transmission of fifth data to be delayed until after the second radio completes reception of sixth data.
