Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for avoiding interfering with 5GHZ frequency band signals with a peer-to-peer wireless local area network connection. A peer-to-peer client is notified of radar signals in proximity to the client over a master-to-client wireless local area connection with an enterprise access point. If the notification includes a non-interfering radar channel, the peer-to-peer client resets the peer-to-peer channel to the non-interfering radar channel. If the notification does not provide a non-interfering radar channel, the peer-to-peer client resets the peer-to-peer network connection to a non-dynamic frequency selection channel and may disconnect the Wi-Fi connection with the enterprise access point.

Abstract: Methods and system are provided for managing and monitoring allocation of RF spectrum resources based on time, space and frequency. A network may be enabled to allocate excess spectrum resources for use by other network providers on a real-time basis. Allocated resources may be transferred from one provider with excess resources to another in need of additional resources based on contractual terms or on a real-time purchase negotiations and settlements. A network may be enabled to monitor the use of allocated resources on real-time basis and off-load or allow additional users depending on the spectrum resources availability. Public safety networks may be enabled to make spectrum resources available to general public by allocating spectrum resources and monitoring the use of those resources. During an emergency, when traffic increases on a public safety network, the public safety networks may off-load bandwidth traffic to make available necessary resources for public safety users.

The interference measurement configuration method of a base station transmitting subframes including, or not including, Cell-specific Reference Signals (CRS) in a wireless communication system includes determining whether a terminal supports a New Carrier Type (NCT) subframe, allocating, when the terminal supports the NCT subframe, Interference Measurement Resources (IMR) to the terminal at Resource Elements (REs) where other signals are not mapped in the subframe, transmitting information on the allocated IMR to the terminal, and transmitting the subframe including the allocated IMR to the terminal.

Abstract: In a frequency band switching by Fast Session Transfer (FST), a timeout value (link loss timeout: LLT) is determined based on a change in a communication state, a switching setup sequence including a step of transmitting the determined timeout value to a peer wireless station is performed, and frequency switching to the second frequency band is performed when time of the timeout value elapses from when the switching setup sequence is completed. For example, a large timeout value (LLT=T1) is set at time of connection establishment, and the LLT is changed (LLT=T2 to T4) based on, for example, a state of transmission data or a change in a channel state.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of controlling a communications link and apparatus configured to perform this method. This invention is particularly related to but in no way limited to MIMO (multiple inputs multiple outputs) wireless communications systems. The method comprises the steps of determining at the receiver the quality of the communications link and based on this, selecting a group of transmission parameters and an element from this group. These selections are then communicated to the transmitter. The transmission parameter may be the transmission configuration such as the modulation and coding scheme. The invention minimizes the required feedback signaling from the receiver to the transmitter by exploiting temporal correlation of the parameter being controlled, whilst allowing rapid selection of the parameter.

Abstract: Techniques for customizing forwarding decisions in a network device via a hardware lookup table result are provided. In one embodiment, a network processor of the network device can perform a lookup into a lookup table based on one or more sections of a received packet.
