Abstract: In order to maintain performance during wireless communication, a transmitting electronic device may selectively perform a remedial action based on a received power in a channel during time intervals between received packets (e.g., due to interference) and/or a metric associated with the measured received power. In particular, when the received power is less than a threshold value (e.g., when the interference is insufficient to stop transmission by the transmitting electronic device), the transmitting electronic device performs the remedial action based on the measured received power and/or the metric. For example, the remedial action may include: selecting a modulation technique; selecting the receiving electronic device; selecting an antenna pattern for the one or more antennas; reducing a transmit power; selecting a data rate; determining a cumulative distribution function; and/or estimating a channel capacity.

Abstract: Methods for an electronic device to communicate in a wireless local area network are provided in which information bits are encoded at the electronic device to provide a plurality of encoded bits. A first radio of the electronic device is used to transmit a first subset of the encoded bits over a first channel that is within a first frequency band, where the first subset of the encoded bits comprises less than all of the encoded bits. A second radio of the electronic device is used to transmit a second subset of the encoded bits over a second channel that is within a second frequency band.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to near-end crosstalk (NEXT) cancellation. A transmit communication signal is transmitted over a first Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connection using a first group of frequencies and a receive communication signal is received over a second DSL connection using a second group of frequencies that at least partially overlaps the first group of frequencies. A crosstalk correlation between the first and second communication signals is determined. Based on the crosstalk correlation, a crosstalk cancellation signal is generated. The crosstalk cancellation signal is subtracted from the second communication signal, with the intention of reducing NEXT.

Abstract: During disclosed communication techniques, an electronic device may exchange information that specifies probe requests with one or more other electronic devices in the network. Then, the electronic device may aggregate information about the probe requests. Moreover, the electronic device may determine, based at least in part on the aggregated information, electronic device-to-electronic device connections in the network, such as connections among neighboring access points. Next, the electronic device may calculate, based at least in part on the aggregated information and the electronic device-to-electronic device connections, first transition thresholds between nearest-neighbor electronic devices in the network. Furthermore, the electronic device may select, based at least in part on the first transition thresholds, a response threshold.

Abstract: An access point may utilize a fast search through a set of antenna patterns to select antenna patterns for multiple antennas in the access point. During the search, the access point may transmit frames while varying, over the set of antenna patterns, an antenna pattern of a first antenna in the access point that is being processed and setting remaining antennas in the access point that have not been processed to a fixed antenna pattern. Based on feedback received from the electronic device, the access point may select a first antenna pattern for the first antenna. Then, the operations may be repeated, independently, for the remaining antennas, while a subset of the antennas (which includes the first antenna) that have already processed are set to their selected antenna patterns and another subset of the antennas that have not already processed may be set to the fixed antenna pattern.

Abstract: A communication technique for conveying configuration information in a preamble in a frame is described. In this communication technique, an access point may receive a frame from a transmitting electronic device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) with media-access-control (MAC) information in a preamble and at least a packet as a payload. The MAC information may be communicated from a MAC layer to a physical layer in an interface circuit in the access point. Moreover, the MAC information may include an identifier of the receiving electronic device. Based on the identifier, the access point may select a receive antenna pattern for use when receiving the payload.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assigning channels in a spatial division multiple access communication network. The network includes a plurality of conventional channels some of which are configurable to be shared concurrently by plural subscribers. The method includes determining combinations of subscribers from the existing subscribers. Enhancement activities are invoked to create optimal combinations of existing subscribers. Existing subscribers are reassigned as necessary to share channels thereby freeing resources for new subscribers.
