Abstract: An electronic device that communicates frames is described. During operation, the electronic device may transmit the frames addressed to a recipient electronic device and associated with multiple links between the electronic device and the recipient electronic device. Then, the electronic device may receive block acknowledgments for at least a subset of the frames, where a given block acknowledgment is associated with the recipient electronic device and indicates received frames on a given link in the links. Moreover, the electronic device may control an amount of traffic conveyed on the links based at least in part on the block acknowledgments. Next, the electronic device may store a remainder of the frames based at least in part on the block acknowledgments, where the frames include the subset of the frames and the remainder of the frames. Note that the frames may have a common traffic identifier.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a target wake time (TWT) technique for multicast communication. For example, some embodiments relate to a method including configuring a target wake time (TWT) process for delivering one or more multicast packets to a group of electronic devices. The method further includes determining that a service period associated with the TWT process has started and transmitting, in accordance with the TWT process, the one or more multicast packets during the service period, where the one or more transmitted multicast packets are addressed to the group of electronic devices.

Abstract: An apparatus for communication between a sending application and a receiving application of a receiving apparatus includes a processor that is configured to establish a stream for transmitting data between the sending application and the receiving application; receive a first request from the sending application to transmit metadata to the receiving application; receive a second request from the sending application to transmit application data to the receiving application; responsive to a determination that a frame that includes the application data and the metadata has a size that is smaller than or equal to a maximum frame size, construct the frame to include the application data and the metadata; and transmit the frame in a packet to the receiving apparatus.

Abstract: A network information acquisition apparatus is provided for acquiring network information related to a wireless network. The apparatus being located in a wireless network coverage area, which can receive network information related to a wireless network, from a base station of a wireless network, an access point, and another terminal which has already received network information and is located a short distance away, thereby minimizing a power consumption amount required for receiving network information.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method and device which can determine current available bandwidth for each Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connection and adjust window size dynamically according to the available bandwidth to achieve high network utilization and efficient flow control in the same time without the need to buffer any received TCP packets, which can work with and without support of large window option. The device classifies incoming traffic into several groups (public and private), monitors and allocates the available bandwidth for each group. To enable flow control, the device also records the initial window size value for each connection and compares it with the original window size value for a newly received TCP packet. If the original window size value received from TCP receivers changes, the device varies the modified window size accordingly to enable efficient flow control in the same device as well.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device structure (and methods). The structure includes a semiconductor substrate comprising a surface. A first doped polysilicon liner is defined within a first trench region formed on a first plug coupled to the surface of the substrate and a second doped polysilicon liner is defined within a second trench region on a second plug coupled to the surface of the substrate. The first trench region is separated from the second trench region by a predetermined dimension. The structure also has a first rugged polysilicon material overlying surfaces of the first doped polysilicon material within the first trench region and a second rugged polysilicon material overlying surfaces of the second doped polysilicon material in the second trench region. The first rugged polysilicon material is free from a possibility of electrical contact with the second rugged polysilicon material.
