Abstract: The technology relates to establishing wireless communication links, or connections, between a first audio accessory device, a second audio accessory device, and a client computing device. After receiving signals from the client computing device to initiate audio output, the first audio accessory device and the second audio accessory device may both perform a series of steps in parallel to establish connections with the client computing device and with each other. The series of steps may include relaying one or more acknowledgement (ACK) signals between the audio accessory devices in order to confirm proper receipt of the signals from the client computing device at both audio accessory devices. Alternatively, the series of steps may include transmitting a jamming signal from one of the audio accessory devices in order to prevent an ACK signal from the other audio accessory device from reaching the client computing device and initiating audio output.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication networks having a capability of controlling the mapping of reference signals onto a carrier based on one or more Doppler parameters. A demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is mapped to a carrier according to a pattern based on one or more Doppler parameters, such as a Doppler frequency and/or a rate of change of channel conditions. In a further example, if an initial transmission of an information packet fails due to a high Doppler scenario, the probability of success of the retransmission may be improved by altering the DMRS configuration to account for the high Doppler scenario. Other aspects, examples, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: A system and method for FIB aggregation. FIB Aggregation with Quick Selections (FAQS) is a FIB aggregation algorithm that leverages compact data structures and three unique optimization techniques to quickly and incrementally select next hops when handling route updates. As a result, FAQS can run up to 2.53 and 1.75 times faster for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively, than the optimal FIB aggregation algorithm while achieving a near-optimal aggregation ratio. Meanwhile, it consumes much less memory and generates much smaller number of FIB changes when carrying out frequent updates. The performance enhancement of the new algorithm addresses many concerns from ISPs regarding performance issues, and enhances the probability to push FIB aggregation techniques further to the level of production adoption by the industry.

The described innovations may be used to facilitate frequency hopping in a sensor network having a network link with two endpoints, those endpoints comprising a master and a slave, wherein the slave comprises a server and the master comprises a sensor, and wherein the slave transmits one message in response to each master message on the link. All communication over the link may be initiated by the master terminal, requiring only one return message per transmission. A channel to be used for a following reception from the slave terminal is specified at the master, and the specified channel is transmitted from the master to the slave terminal. The slave terminal then uses the specified channel for its next transmission.
