  • Patent number: 11122624
    Abstract: Performing a pre-packet arrival channel contention procedure in stations of a WLAN to enhance support for real-time applications (RTAs) which are sensitive to communication delays. The stations track active real-time application sessions and identify running RTA sessions with respect to communication times, rates and packet sizes. A station attempts to gain access to the communication channel using a pre-packet arrival channel contention process before a packet arrives from the application layer of an RTA, based on information received from the RTA as to what time the packet will arrive to a MAC queue in a MAC layer of the wireless station. Thus, the RTA packets incur less delay while the process can also reduce communications overhead.

  • Patent number: 11088867
    Abstract: Messaging between an ultra-tag and external microcontroller. In an embodiment, a transmitting device is communicatively connected to a receiving device by a clear-to-communicate line and request line. When data to be transmitted has normal priority, the transmitting device detects whether the clear-to-communicate line indicates that the receiving device is available, indicates a request to transmit on the request line if so, waits until the receiving device is available and then indicates a request to transmit on the request line if not, after indicating a request to transmit, transmits the data when the clear-to-communicate line indicates that the receiving device is unavailable, and, after transmitting the data, releases the indication of the request to transmit on the request line. On the other hand, when the data has high priority, the transmitting device indicates a request to transmit on the request line, regardless of an indication on the clear-to-communicate line.

  • Patent number: 11057937
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support node connection techniques in wireless systems, such as relay node connections in a wireless backhaul network. A first node, which may be a new node or a node seeking to re-establish a connection, may initiate a connection establishment through transmission of a synchronization signal (SS). The first node, responsive to the SS transmission, may receive a response signal from one of the other nodes, and may establish a link with the other node. In some cases, the response signal may be an SS transmission from the other node, and the first node may transmit a random access request to the other node to initiate establishment of the link. In other cases, the response signal may be a random access request from the other node to initiate establishment of the link.
