Abstract: Embodiments for selective optimized roaming include receiving an indication that a connected device is at a cell edge of a first network. When an alternate access point cannot provide an alternate connection for the connected device, connections to other networks are assessed. This assessment includes receiving radio frequency (RF) signals for a second network and determining, from received RF signals, that the second network provides a better network connection. When the second network can provide a better network connection the connection to the first network is terminated.

Abstract: Modulated radio frequency (RF) packets are received from a wireless device, and converted to modulated baseband packets. Baseband parameters are derived from the modulated baseband packets. A baseband profile including the baseband parameters is created for the wireless device. A database including baseband profiles of wireless devices is accessed. The baseband profiles are classified under known device types based on baseband parameters included in the baseband profiles. The baseband parameters of the baseband profile are compared to corresponding baseband parameters of the baseband profiles in the database. If the comparing indicates a match between the baseband profile and one of the baseband profiles, the wireless device is classified under the known device type of the one of the baseband profiles, and the baseband profile is stored in the database under the known device type.

Abstract: Techniques for channelization of a wireless communication network in the presence of interference are described. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting an unlicensed wireless wide area network signal. The method includes selecting a wireless channel for a wireless local area network that includes frequencies associated with the unlicensed signal. The method includes allocating a first portion of the wireless channel that includes frequencies associated with the unlicensed signal to a first plurality of resource units and allocating a second portion of the wireless channel that excludes frequencies associated with the unlicensed signal to a second plurality of resource units. The method includes assigning the first plurality of resource units to a first group of client devices, and assigning the second plurality of resource units to a second group of client devices.

Abstract: A universal OFDM synchronizer for power line communication is provided. The universal OFDM synchronizer can be used for all known OFDM standards and allows maximum flexibility with best performance. The OFDM synchronizer comprises of a preamble averaging, a correlator and a peak discriminator. The OFDM synchronizer can be used with signals having 256 sample size preamble or 512 sample size preamble.

Abstract: The present invention provides a narrowband OFDM (NOFDM) system with frequency diversity redundant transmission and receiver diversity selection and combining scheme. The communication channel is segmented into independent plurality of sub-channels. The sub-channels can be used in an aggregated mode to transmit different data on every sub-channel or in a number of redundant modes, where the same data is sent on multiple sub-channels to achieve maximum robustness of communication. Redundant modes may include channel selection diversity and/or weighted channel combining diversity.
