  • Patent number: 8611909
    Abstract: A service providing apparatus, a service consuming apparatus, and a service transmitting method are provided. The service providing apparatus is adapted to connect with the service consuming apparatus via a wireless network. Within a control channel period, the service providing apparatus schedules the services with the service consuming apparatus. Within a service channel period, the service providing apparatus provides a service resource to the service consuming apparatus according to the result of scheduling the services. If the service consuming apparatus does not send a service request signal to the service providing apparatus within the control channel period, the service consuming apparatus has to remain silent within the service control channel. By the arrangement, the problems caused from the characteristic of the link asymmetry of the wireless network can be solved.

  • Publication number: 20110294500
    Abstract: A power saving method adaptable to a mobile device in a travel-by-vehicle environment is provided. A connection is established between the mobile device and a communication device according to a first communication protocol, and a connection is established between an access point and the communication device according to a second communication protocol, wherein the transmission power required in the first communication protocol is lower than that required in the second communication protocol. If a connection established according to the second communication protocol exists between the mobile device and the access point, the connection established between the mobile device and the access point according to the second communication protocol is cut off. An operation interface of the mobile device is provided to a user so that the mobile device communicates with the access point through the communication device.
