  • Patent number: 9369215
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and computer program product for controlling reception in an asynchronous operation mode, wherein a transmitter sends an extended preamble sequence of length longer than the maximum length of a wake up message itself plus the maximum length of a gap between wake up messages, such that a receiver turning on during a sequence of wake up commands and not detecting the wake up commands, can be sure to successfully detect a preamble if it tries again a second time a set interval later.

  • Patent number: 8542828
    Abstract: The present invention relates to cryptographic secret key distribution, wherein a value for a number of iterations can be individually set, so that the number of messages to be exchanged during generating a cryptographic secret key can be varied based on the set value of the iteration number.

  • Patent number: 8451815
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for a first coordinator operating at a first channel frequency in a wireless personal area network (WPAN), the WPAN further comprising a second coordinator operating a second channel frequency, the method comprising the steps of transmitting a message at a plurality of channel frequencies including the second channel frequency, requesting the second coordinator to change from the second channel frequency to the first channel frequency, and communicating with the second coordinator using the first channel frequency. As discussed above, advantages with the present invention includes that no priority based mechanism is needed due to the fact that the coordinator that initiates (e.g. starts) communication-decides on used frequency. Furthermore, every coordinator is able to have the coordinator it wants to communicate with to change to its decided frequency.
