Abstract: An information handling system is powered by a battery. In response to determining that a remaining amount of power within the battery has fallen below a first threshold, power consumption of the information handling system is reduced by reducing at least one non-critical operation of the information handling system, while maintaining at least one critical operation of the information handling system. After reducing the at least one non-critical operation, it is increased in response to determining that the remaining amount of power within the battery has risen above a second threshold.

Abstract: In a classroom, students may bring their own electronic devices and use them to augment classroom instruction by connecting to a classroom network and interacting with various network resources. During certain periods of time, such as testing or pop quizzes, a teacher may assure that students do not cheat by accessing network resources by sending a command to each student device to block access to the classroom network. At the end of the time period, a command may be provided to allow the student devices to again access the network.

Abstract: A system, method and device for dynamic optimization of network parameters for optimal performance in a wireless network. The method includes sending at least one reference file to clients, collecting reference files to the clients, measuring performance metrics and updating the low-level parameters to optimize performance.

Abstract: A context-sensitive and location-aware adaptive method and device. The method includes determining user's information relating at least one of context or location, adaptively altering at least one of data and image based on the determined user's information, and presenting the altered information.

Abstract: A method for associating handheld calculators with a network host system of a classroom network that includes receiving a service set identifier (SSID) of the classroom network by a handheld calculator, wherein the SSID includes a network mode indicator, and operating the handheld calculator according to the network mode indicator. The method may also include operating the handheld calculator in a configuration mode in which the handheld calculator sends a request for association to the network host system, wherein the request includes a unique identifier of the first handheld calculator, and acceptance of the request by the network host system, wherein authentication information for the handheld calculator is stored by the network host system to indicate that the first handheld calculator is associated with the classroom network.

Abstract: A device includes a peer-to-peer group owner processor. The device also includes a memory coupled to the peer-to-peer group owner processor. At least one client associated with the device is a legacy client, and the peer-to-peer group owner processor enters a listening state after a dozing state. The device consumes less power in the listening state than in an awake state.

Abstract: A wireless device comprises a first medium access controller (MAC) configured to communicate in a first basic service set (BSS) via a first wireless network and logic coupled to said the MAC. The logic is configured to determine a physical location of the wireless device and implement a communication parameter based on the determined physical location. The communication parameter includes at least one of a frequency, a channel, transmit power, and dynamic frequency selection.

Abstract: A method of performing wireless communications. The method receives at a receiving unit a sequence of data blocks from a transmitting unit. The method also identifies at the receiving unit a first number of invalid sequential data blocks in the sequence and a second number of valid sequential data blocks in the sequence. The method also communicates from the receiving unit a wireless message to the transmitting unit. The wireless message comprises a first field that specifies the first number and a second field that specifies the second number—the encoding of the first field is operable to specify a different maximum than an encoding of the second field.

Abstract: Network circuitry and a method of operating the same in establishing and deleting a service flow in a wireless network. A network station receives a request, from an initiating network station, to establish a service flow. The network station receiving the request issues a response to that request, following which it expects an acknowledgement from the initiator. Upon absence of such an acknowledgement, the receiving station transmits a message, to the initiator, to explicitly delete the service flow. This ensures that the initiator is not placed into an ambiguous state of transmitting payload traffic to a receiver that is ignoring or not receiving that traffic, in the case in which the initiator is also the transmitter of the payload traffic. This circuitry and method also ensures that the initiator is not in an ambiguous state, in the case in which it is the intended receiver of the payload traffic.

Abstract: A system for communicating protocol layer processing information is disclosed herein. A transmitter includes a protocol layer header generator that generators a header for a first protocol data unit. The header generator provides a first header comprising a first sequence number field that determines the order in which a receiving entity present the first data unit to higher protocol layer. The sequence number field varies in length. A receiver includes a protocol layer header parser that parses a header of a first protocol data unit. The header parser parses a first header comprising a first sequence number field that determines the order in which the first data unit is presented to a higher protocol layer. The sequence number field varies in length.
