Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to setup data path transfer between concurrently operating frequency bands of multiband wireless LAN (WLAN) devices. The embodiments provide an enhancement to the Fast Session Transfer (FST) by introducing a new Information Element (IE) in the Fast Session Transfer (FST) frames to enable negotiating the parameters to be established as a result of switching of at least a portion of the existing data/traffic streams to another frequency band. The new Information Element (IE) includes at least the number of streams being switched and for each stream being switched the stream ID. The new Information Element enables the transmitting and receiving devices to negotiate the connection setup parameters associated with a requested transfer of the operating frequency band.

Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. According to an example embodiment, a technique may include receiving, via a wireless network, a frame indicating whether or not regular acknowledgements may be used (or alternatively indicating whether or not data frames with fragmented payloads may be used), in addition to block acknowledgements. In example embodiments, an Add Block Acknowledgement (ADDBA) response frame or a block Acknowledgement may be received indicating whether or not regular acknowledgements may be used to acknowledge receipt of data frames, or alternatively, indicating whether or not data frames with fragmented payloads may be transmitted.

Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed relating to the establishment of reliable multicast/broadcast sessions in a wireless network. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus may be configured to receive, from a wireless recipient station, a request to establish a reliable multicast/broadcast session with the recipient station. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit, to the recipient station, a response to the request to establish the reliable multicast/broadcast session. The response may include one or more retransmission fields describing a retransmission of data for the requested reliable multicast/broadcast session. For example, the request may include a retransmission multicast address to be used for retransmission of data for the multicast/broadcast session.

Abstract: A system for implementing self aggregating communication operations. Wireless communication transports may utilize basic radio transmission units for communication (e.g., such as a symbol, groups of symbols, etc.). Radio transmission units may comprise, for example, one or more message packets. The one or more message packets may be added to a radio transmission unit in preparation for wireless transmission. If unused space exists in the radio transmission unit after the one or more packets have been added, copies of the one or more the packets may also be inserted into the radio transmission unit. Any unfilled space remaining in the radio transmission unit that cannot accommodate complete copies of the one or more message packets may be filled utilizing zero padding. Radio transmission units composed in this manner (e.g., including multiple occurrences of each packet) may be deemed “self aggregated.

Abstract: A packet transmission method in a telecommunication network is provided. According to one embodiment, the method includes the steps of transmitting, estimating and controlling. The transmitting step transmits, in the network, packets of different priority on at least some connections. The estimating step estimates a value for the quality of service required for sending high priority packets with a given successful decoding probability. The controlling step controls the interference in the network such that the quality of service for each connection has at least the estimated value.

Abstract: A method for saving power, at a mobile terminal, includes receiving a call, at a network entity, wherein the call contains information relating to transmission of the call from the network entity to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal operates in first and second communications networks, which are different. The mobile terminal detects coverage of the first communications network and activates a first interface corresponding to the first communications network. The mobile terminal can also deactivate the first interface and activate a second interface corresponding to the second communications network while the mobile terminal is located in both the first and second communications networks. The mobile terminal can then enter a low power consumption mode supported by the second communications network.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating communication of a data block to a mobile station when a handover of communications is effectuated. A segmentation and distribution unit is positioned at a base station gateway, and the base station gateway is coupled to both a first target entity and a second target entity. Portions of the data block are provided to the first target entity to be communicated to the mobile station. When a handover of communications is effectuated, the buffered portion of the data which has not yet been successfully delivered to the mobile station is forwarded to the second target entity. And, other portions of the data block, not yet delivered to the first target gateway are, thereafter, provided directly to the second target entity.
