  • System, method and article for adaptive framing for TDMA MAC protocols
    Patent number: 10680707
    Abstract: A device includes an interface and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) Medium Access Control (MAC) circuitry coupled to the interface. The TDMA MAC circuitry detects a beacon in a frame having a defined frame duration and determines a frame compensation value based on a start time of the frame, a reference start time of the frame, and a number of elapsed frames. A current frame duration value is determined based on the frame compensation value and the defined frame duration.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 9, 2020
    Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.
    Inventors: Luca Casone, Danilo Blasi, Andrea Piglione, Emile Saccani

  • Method of fair scheduling channel access in a wireless network
    Patent number: 7978644
    Abstract: A method of fair scheduling for channel access in a wireless network comprising a plurality of nodes including a first node and at least one second node is described, the method comprising the steps of: arranging (RICP) a packet to be transmitted at the first node; calculating (COMP) a waiting time (ta) for the first node; the first node attempting (ATTX) the transmission of the packet on the channel at least after the calculated waiting time; characterised in that said calculation step includes an evaluation step of a first size representative of the ratio between a real use of the channel by the first node and a real use of the channel by a group of the plurality of nodes, during the transmission on the network of further packets preceding said packet.
