Abstract: Tools and technologies geographically extend local area networks by transparently inserting transmission of encapsulated local area network frames over wide area network connections. Some devices receive frames from a switch or other physically addressed device using layer 2 protocols, encapsulate them, and send them over a wide area network to a similar remote device which decapsulates the frames and forwards them using layer 2 protocols. Load balancing, quality of service, compression, encryption, and other packet processing may be performed on the encapsulated packets.

Abstract: Techniques for managing access to a shared communication medium are disclosed. Scheduling grants may be sent to different access terminals for different sets of resources for uplink transmission on the communication medium. A series of re-contention gaps may be scheduled for access terminal contention within or between the different sets of resources. Uplink and downlink transmission on the communication medium may be silenced during each of the series of re-contention gaps. Moreover, an access terminal may receive a scheduling grant that allocates a set of resources to the access terminal for uplink transmission on a communication medium and contend for access to the communication medium based on the scheduling grant. The access terminal may then selectively transmit uplink traffic over the allocated set of resources based on the contending.

Abstract: A communication device includes a transceiver unit for receiving from a central installation a broadcast message containing information for initiating communication between the communication device and the central installation, and a control unit for selecting a hardware address for the communication device in response to the information contained in the broadcast message. The selected hardware address can be used for addressing the communication device for messages from the central installation. The transceiver unit is designed to communicate with the central installation using the selected hardware address for the duration of a session. The control unit is designed to delete the selected hardware address after the duration of the session has expired. Selecting a hardware address randomly and deleting the hardware address after the session has expired allows communication between the communication device and the central installation, while maintaining the identity of the communication device anonymous.
