Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing communications between servers and a mobile device and providing enhanced security and privacy to wireless beacon services. This can involve a broadcast device transmitting a beacon transmission using a short range wireless radio, such a Bluetooth or WiFi, and including a MAC address, a first unique identifier, and a beacon service identifier. The mobile device then selects one or more unique identifiers from received beacon transmissions, by filtering (that is, selecting) those beacon transmissions which include the beacon service identifier. The wireless device then takes further action, if the first unique identifier is present among the selected one or more unique identifiers, using stored information from the server. The stored information may be delivered to the wireless device in response to the wireless device sending the first unique identifier to a server, or the stored information may have been previously downloaded.

Abstract: A Central Unit (CU) is connected to multiple Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) over a backhaul. The spatial separation of units creates long round-trip times, which are addressed in the present disclosure. The enhanced operation allows for counting down a BackOff (BO) on either the RRH side or on the CU side. RRHs that perform the BO procedure can resolve the issue of insufficient InterFrame Space (IFS) time for the RRH to obtain Data from the CU and to invoke a BO. In addition, RRHs that perform the BO procedures are able to reduce channel access contention when multiple RRHs are performing BOs, while utilization efficiency for the medium can also be increased by the improved synchronization of BO and Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) status between the CU and RRHs.

Abstract: Network coding in automatic receipt request (ARQ) functionality is disclosed. A compatible transmitter configures a new transmission period, in which the set of data for transmission is transmitted, and a retransmission period, after the new transmission period, in which a number of network coded data is retransmitted based on the acknowledgement feedback received from the receivers receiving the transmitted set of data. The acknowledgement feedback identifies one or more data requested for retransmission by one or more of the receivers. The transmitter determines a number of network coded data that could be transmitted to accommodate each of the requesting receivers and the data requested by such receivers for retransmission. These network coded data would then be retransmitted by the transmitter during the retransmission period.
