  • Patent number: 9544912
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the management of access point transmissions based upon priority of traffic. An access point may periodically cycle between aggressive phases, during which the access point contends for downstream transmission opportunities aggressively, and background phases, during which the access point contends for downstream transmission opportunities passively. The access point may alternate between aggressive and background phases based upon a priority level of received packets, services, and/or clients. The access point may also alternate between aggressive and background phases based upon the congestion level and/or health of an associated network.

  • Patent number: 9544829
    Abstract: A network node receives from a mobile terminal being served by a first coverage area a measurement report indicating signal level of a second coverage area detected by the mobile terminal. The network node then makes a determination, by considering PLMNs of the mobile terminal and of the coverage areas, of (i) whether the mobile node is a home mobile node of the first coverage area and (ii) whether the mobile node is a home mobile node of the second coverage area. Based on that determination, the network node then selects a handoff threshold. And based on the handoff threshold and the reported signal level, the network node decides whether to trigger handoff of the mobile terminal from the first coverage area to the second coverage area. The network node then triggers the handoff if the decision is to do so.

  • Patent number: 9531418
    Abstract: A method and system performs antenna tuning to minimize interference affecting signal reception within a wireless communication device. An antenna tuner controller determines whether the wireless communication device concurrently provides (a) simultaneous signal transmission and reception and (b) dual signal propagation. In response to determining that the wireless communication device concurrently provides the simultaneous signal transmission and reception and the dual signal propagation, the antenna tuner controller determines a current mode of operation corresponding to simultaneous signal transmission and reception and the dual signal propagation. Based on the mode of operation determined, the antenna tuner controller identifies a priority for performing antenna isolation to minimize interference affecting signal reception when the wireless communication device actively communicates within the specific mode of operation.
