  • Patent number: 11032237
    Abstract: A communication device of a first wireless network determines that a first value of a first basic service set (BSS) color identifier is the same as a value of a second BSS color identifier corresponding to a neighboring second wireless network. In response, the communication device determines a second value of the first BSS color identifier. The communication device transmits one or more packets that each include i) an indication that the first BSS color identifier is changing, ii) the second value of the first BSS color identifier, and iii) a respective integer number of remaining beacon intervals corresponding to a start time when the second value of the first BSS color identifier will supersede the first value of the first BSS color identifier. Based on the start time, the communication device begins to use the second value of the first BSS color identifier with communications in the first wireless network.

  • Patent number: 10945235
    Abstract: A first radio terminal transmits and receives a radio signal by using a limited frequency band limited to a bandwidth of a predetermined number of resource blocks. A second radio terminal transmits and receives a radio signal by using a frequency band wider than the limited frequency band. A base station transmits configuration information of SC-MTCH by SC-MCCH. The base station sets a first period to the first radio terminal and sets a second period shorter than the first period to the second radio terminal as an SC-MCCH change period in which the configuration information of the SC-MTCH can be changed. The base station receives an MBMS interest indication from the first radio terminal, the first radio terminal being in a connected mode, and determines whether or not to shift the first radio terminal to an idle mode based on the MBMS interest indication.

  • Patent number: 10938495
    Abstract: An access point (AP) transmits a request-to-send (RTS) frame to a plurality of client stations. The RTS frame indicates that the plurality of client stations are requested to simultaneously transmit respective clear-to-send (CTS) frames to the AP. The AP receives at least some of the respective CTS frames from at least some of the plurality of client stations, including receiving a first CTS frame from a first client station, and receiving a second CTS frame from a second client station. The first CTS frame and the second CTS frame both span a first sub-channel, and are received simultaneously by the AP. The AP determines that the first sub-channel is available for communication with one or more client stations based on the reception of the first CTS frame and the second CTS frame.

  • Patent number: 10917349
    Abstract: Packets received by a network switch device from upstream network devices, coupled to respective ones of a plurality of ports of the network switch device, are temporarily stored in an internal memory of the network switch device. In response to detecting a first congestion state in the internal memory, the network switch device transmits a first flow control message via a first subset of ports, without transmitting the flow control message via any port not included in the first subset of ports, to cause upstream network devices in a first subset of upstream network devices to temporarily suspend transmission of packets to the network switch device. The network switch device alternates between causing different subsets of the network devices to temporarily suspend transmission of packets to the network switch device, while continuing to monitor congestion in the internal memory of the network switch device.
