  • Patent number: 11218281
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose e.g. a method performed by a wireless device (10) for handling communication for the wireless device in a second wireless communication network. The second wireless communication network coexists with a first wireless communication network on a same bandwidth in frequency, wherein the first wireless communication network applies a first shift in frequency in uplink transmissions. The wireless device receives from a radio network node (12,13), an indication indicating application of a second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions in case the second wireless communication network uses Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The wireless device further applies the second shift in frequency to uplink transmissions, wherein the second shift defines a shift in frequency to a subcarrier relative to a subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network or a shift in frequency to the subcarrier grid of the second wireless communication network.

  • Patent number: 11153760
    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a device configured for use in a wireless local area network (WLAN) may cause a spatial reuse (SR) adjustment to be performed based on data received from a multi-user receiver procedure for the blind detection and demodulation of colliding packets from multiple stations. This procedure may be performed by one or more access points (APs) and/or distributed sensor nodes, each having such a multi-user receiver. The procedure may involve receiving and decoding, over a channel, a first spatial stream from a first device of a first base service set (BSS) color; simultaneously receiving and decoding, over the channel, a second spatial stream from a second device of a second BSS color (i.e. an overlapping BSS or “OBSS”); and calculating a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) based on signal levels associated with the streams. The SR adjustment may involve adjusting an OBSS Packet Detect (PD) (OBSS-PD) threshold.

  • Patent number: 11088960
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that obtains a flow table from a switch apparatus that processes packets by using the flow table. The processor creates, for each flow registered with the flow table, a verification packet based on identification information that identifies each flow. The processor determines a number of verification packets based on a count value that represents a number of actual packets that have arrived at the switch apparatus. The processor generates the number of verification packets for each flow by copying the verification packet created for each flow. The processor determines transmission order of the generated verification packets based on the count value for each flow and time information that represents a time when a final actual packet of each flow has arrived at the switch apparatus.
