Ku-Han Fan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7978668
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer readable medium thereof for simultaneously establishing links with a plurality of nodes in a wireless network are provided. A processing module determines whether a mesh network configuration message of the apparatus has space to packet an information element and determines whether to transmit a Neighbor Link Establishment information element to one of the nodes. If the mesh network configuration message has space to packet an information element and the Neighbor Link Establishment information element needs to be transmitted to one of the nodes, the Neighbor Link Establishment information element will be packeted into the mesh network configuration message. Finally, a transmission module transmits the mesh network configuration message to the nodes in order to solve the problem of increasing time during link establishment and avoid deadlock among the nodes when the apparatus of the prior art establishes links with the nodes simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20080130552
    Abstract: A connection node, a method, a computer program, and a computer readable medium thereof for recalculating a transmission opportunity when an apparatus requests to enter a wireless network are provided. A receiving module receives a mesh network entry message transmitted from the apparatus. A memory stores an identification of a sponsor node. A processing module determines whether an original neighboring node list comprises the identification. If no, the processing module updates the original neighboring node list according to the identification, and recalculates a transmission opportunity of a mesh network configuration message of the connection node. Finally, a transmission module transmits the mesh network configuration message according to the transmission opportunity in order to solve the problem that mesh network configuration messages of nodes collide with each other of the prior art.
