Abstract: The disclosed subject matter includes techniques for wireless communication. In one example, a system includes a processor and a computer-readable memory storage device for storing executable instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to send a data frame to a client device. The processor can also receive a data-acknowledgment frame from the client device in response to the data frame within a predetermined time after sending the data frame. The processor can also aggregate a response data-acknowledgment frame in response to receiving the data-acknowledgment frame with at least one data frame to form an aggregated frame. The processor can also further send the aggregated frame to the client device and the at least one other client device within the predetermined time after receiving the data-acknowledgement frame.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for transmitting data are described herein. In one example, a method includes detecting a plurality of data frames to be transmitted using a shared communication network and selecting a first and a second data frame from the plurality of data frames based on a deadline for each of the plurality of data frames. The method also includes transmitting, via a shared communication network, the first data frame to a first client device and waiting for a predetermined delay period. Additionally, the method includes detecting a data acknowledgement frame from the first client device and transmitting, via the shared communication network, the second data frame to a second client device, the first data frame and the second data frame to be transmitted sequentially. Furthermore, the method includes transferring control of the shared communication network to an external device.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter includes techniques for delaying network frames. In some examples, a system for delaying network frames can include a processor and a computer-readable memory storage device for storing executable instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to identify a network frame to be transmitted to a host device at a client device. The processor can also delay transmission of the network frame to the host device based at least on the network information and a frame deadline.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter includes techniques for performing a channel availability check. A method includes initiating, via a processor of a master device, a first connection on a first wireless channel with a subordinate device and transmitting, via the processor, a beacon to the subordinate device. The method includes monitoring, via the processor, the first wireless channel for a first predetermined amount of time for a connection request from the subordinate device in response to the beacon. The method includes performing the channel availability check to detect energy profiles on a second wireless channel for a second predetermined amount of time after the first predetermined amount of time. The processor may cycle between transmitting the beacon and monitoring the first wireless channel and performing the channel availability check on the second wireless channel until a threshold time is exceeded, the connection request is detected, or an energy profile is detected.

Abstract: A system and method for preventing a wireless controller system and WiFi radio system within a game console from interfering with each other. Specifically, the WiFi system is adapted to avoid activating its transmitter during the controller receive times by detecting a signal sent to the WiFi module indicating where the controller receive times occur without an explicit signal indicative of the controller receive times.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter includes techniques for wireless communication. In one example, a system includes a processor and a computer-readable memory storage device for storing executable instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to generate a channel hop sequence of wireless channels to be used by an access point. The processor can also send a channel schedule to a client device via a wireless channel. The processor can also change the wireless channel to a next available channel in the channel hop sequence in response to detecting a change in wireless metrics of the wireless channel. The processor can also further receive a connection request from the client device via the next available wireless channel based at least on the channel schedule.
