Abstract: The present disclosure relates to reduce latency in wireless communications. To this end, the disclosure proposes a first entity being configured to: transmit a first indication to a second entity, wherein the first indication indicates a first set of packets transmitted from the first entity to a first link receiver; and transmitting a first transmit status indication to the second entity, wherein the first transmit status indication indicates which packets of the first set of packets were successfully received by the first link receiver, and/or indicates which packets of the first set of packets were not received by the first link receiver. In particular, each packet indicated in the first indication and the first transmit status indication is associated with a global multi-link sequence number. Further, this disclosure also proposes a second entity being configured to receive a first indication and a first transmit status indication from a first entity.

Abstract: A device resolves a collision between its transmission and a simultaneous transmission of another device. The device is configured to interrupt its transmission, determine a negotiation signal, and determine at least one available resource to occupy with the negotiation signal during a negotiation period. Further, the device is configured to transmit the negotiation signal on the at least one available resource and simultaneously receive a negotiation signal on another resource from at least one other device during the negotiation period. Then, the device is configured to decide, based on all negotiation signals, whether to retransmit the interrupted transmission after the negotiation period.

Abstract: A communication apparatus method includes a non-transitory memory configured to store non-transitory instructions, and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. The one or more processors are configured to execute the non-transitory instructions to thereby cause the communication apparatus to generate a trigger frame, and send the trigger frame to the stations. The trigger frame is useable to trigger each station of a plurality of stations in a plurality of basic service sets to send a corresponding trigger based physical protocol data unit, and the trigger frame comprises identification information of the plurality of basic service sets and identification information of the plurality of stations.

Abstract: A multi radio media access control (MAC) (MRM) transceiver includes a plurality of transceiver systems, each transceiver system assigned a different MAC address, and a memory configured to aggregate, in a shared queue, a plurality of packets of a data stream received via a computer network. Each of the transceiver systems is configured to asynchronously acquire one or more of the packets from the shared queue for transmission in one of a plurality of transmission channels. Each one of the transmission channels comprises a different frequency. The transmission channels are maintained for simultaneous transmission of the one or more packets to a common target user equipment (UE) that is wirelessly coupled to the MRM transceiver.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmission of data encapsulated in a bi-directional network transmission protocol over a distributed wireless network comprises a processor configured to direct the data encapsulated in the bi-directional network transmission protocol for transmission by a first wireless transmitter at a first frequency, and direct acknowledgement messages of the bi-directional network transmission protocol generated in response to reception of the data, for transmission by a second wireless transmitter at a second frequency.

Abstract: Systems, devices and processes for massive file replication as described. A distributed file system has a distributed storage servers for storing private copies of shared media files. One or more replicators generate the replicas or private copies of media files. For example, the replicator reads a media file. The replicator creates a private copy of the media file in response to a replication request. The replication request specifies a convention for generating a reference for the private copy of the media file. The replicator writes the private copy of the media file to a storage server of the distributed storage servers. The replicator generates the reference for the copy of the media file based on the convention and the storage server. The replicator transmits metadata the distributed file system, the metadata indicating the reference for the copy of the media file.

Abstract: A method for communication includes accepting in an Access Point (AP) data items for transmission over a wireless channel to multiple terminals served by the AP. Aggregate airtimes, which were previously allocated to the respective terminals on the wireless channel, are assessed. Transmission of the data items is scheduled depending on the aggregate airtimes.

Abstract: System and method for enhancing performance of a wireless communication system, including communicating between an access point and at least one close client over a first RF channel, and communicating between an access point and at least one remote client via a repeater. The communication between the access point and the at least one remote client via the repeater includes communicating between an access point and the repeater over the first RF channel and communicating between the repeater and the at least one remote client over a second RF channel. The communication between the access point and the at least one close client over the first RF channel is substantially contemporaneous with the communication between the repeater and the at least one remote client over the second RF channel.

Abstract: System and method for backoff correction of channel quality information (CQI). A correction factor is calculated based on a goodness measure such as packet error rate (PER). The selection of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is made considering the channel quality information (CQI) adjusted by the correction factor. A meaningful goodness measure can be imposed if the goodness measure is very low. A different correction factor can be calculated for different confidence levels, MCSs and transmission modes.

Abstract: A method includes, in an Access Point (AP) that communicates with one or more wireless communication stations (STAs) in accordance with a communication protocol that permits the STAs to transmit to the AP at bandwidths selected by the STAs without coordination with the AP, evaluating a condition relating to signal quality of at least one of the STAs. A maximum bandwidth is chosen based on the evaluated condition, and the STAs are instructed to transmit to the AP at no more than the chosen maximum bandwidth.

Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving Transport Control Protocol (TCP) data packets from a first TCP endpoint, for forwarding over a Wireless Local-Area Network (WLAN) to a second TCP endpoint. The received TCP data packets are cached in a cache memory. The TCP data packets cached in the cache memory are forwarded over the WLAN to the second TCP endpoint, including retrying to forward one or more of the cached TCP data packets independently of the first TCP endpoint.

Abstract: A method for communication includes communicating between a first transceiver and a wireless communication terminal on a first channel, while identifying the first transceiver to the terminal with a transceiver identity. A roaming condition, which determines whether the terminal is to roam to a second transceiver operating on a second channel, is evaluated. Upon meeting the roaming condition, the terminal is instructed to switch to the second channel, and the terminal is subsequently communicated with using the second transceiver on the second channel while identifying the second transceiver to the terminal with the same transceiver identity as the first transceiver.
