Abstract: In an 802.11ax network with an access point, a trigger frame offers scheduled and random resource units to nodes for data uplink communication to the access point. To avoid the overall energy level seen by legacy nodes for a communication channel to drop below a detection threshold, the invention provides two tools. First, the scheduled and random resource units may be interleaved over communication channels. Second, unused resource units may be detected, and a node or the access point may send a padding signal on them to increase the overall energy level. The latter may be evaluated during a monitoring period before deciding to emit the signal. As the overall energy level seen by legacy nodes is increased, the risk that such legacy nodes do not detect activity on a 20 MHz channel having only a subpart of its RUs used is reduced. And risks of collisions are consequently reduced.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for providing network access services to mobile users via multi-user network access terminals over a multi-beam satellite system. Quality-of-service (QoS) is controlled for the mobile devices at a per-user level according to user-specific traffic policies. Mobile users may be provisioned on the satellite system according to a set of traffic policies based on their service level agreement (SLA). System resources of the satellite may be allocated to mobile users based on the demand of each mobile user and the set of traffic polices associated with each mobile user, regardless of which multi-user network access terminal is used to access the system. Dynamic multiplexing of traffic from fixed terminals and mobile users on the same satellite beam can take advantage of statistical multiplexing of large numbers of users and on different usage patterns between fixed terminals and mobile users.

Abstract: An acceptable coverage limit of a base station is identified by retrieving a list of cells that are served by a first base station. Grids are generated from the first base station to a predetermined threshold distance. A plurality of selected grids is identified between an acceptable coverage limit and a threshold distance. An average reference signal is determined from the plurality of selected grids. An evaluation is made regarding whether the first base station is the dominant cell in each of the selected grids. The number of grids the selected grids where the first base station is the dominant cell site is determined based on a dominant carrier threshold. A column of grids is determined where the first base station is not the dominant cell site. An acceptable coverage limit of the cell is determined based on the distance from the first base station and the column of grids.

Abstract: For wireless communication in the industrial environment, there is, inter alia, an iWLAN protocol, which meets the requirements but provides no time synchronization in the data transmission. According to the invention, an additional—ideally wireless—channel is used for the synchronization. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a simple radio system is used for this. Pulses or telegrams for time synchronization are initiated directly from a unit, which is designed as hardware and which is responsible for the time synchronization and which has a highly accurate clock, or supplied on the side to be synchronized of such a unit. The radio system can be designed very simply and unidirectionally. The transmission process is started without delay in order to prevent variable delays.
