Abstract: Implementations disclosed describe systems and methods that include establishing, by a wireless device, a communication link with a wireless access point (AP) device over an operating channel, the wireless AP device providing a single-band access within a first frequency band; time-multiplexing, by the wireless device, transmitting beacons or probes within a second frequency band with communicating with the wireless AP device over the operating channel within the first frequency band; and configuring the beacons or probes to advertise, to other wireless devices in the second frequency band, availability of connection to the wireless AP device over the operating channel within the first frequency band.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed describe techniques to effectuate operating mode changes of a wireless connection between a first communication device (CD) and a second CD. In an example embodiment, the disclosed techniques may include detecting, by a wireless network controller of the second CD, an indication that the first CD has requested the operating mode change from a first operating mode to a second operating mode. The disclosed techniques may further include modifying a transmission information (TI) associated with one or more frames in a transmission queue of the second CD, the TI including a representation used by a physical layer of the second CD to configure transmission of a respective frame to the first CD, wherein the one or more frames in the transmission queue have been previously programmed with a first-mode TI, and wherein modification of the TI is to a second-mode TI.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatuses for increasing throughput of WLANs using queue size based intelligent reverse direction grants (RDGs). RDGs have been introduced in many WLANs to reduce the amount of overhead associated with variants of the CSMA/CD MAC protocol. Reducing overhead increases the WLANs achievable data throughput. However, RDGs are not intelligently used in WLANs, limiting their effectiveness.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for compensating a modulation imbalance effect in a communication device. In one embodiment, at least three sets of modulation imbalance parameters (MIPs) are estimated by executing an auto balance sequence. The at least three sets of MIPs correspond to a baseband signal configured to have at least three configurable frequencies, each of the at least three sets of MIPs corresponds to one of at least three configurable frequencies. The auto balance sequence is configured to provide an offset signal generated within a communication device to trigger generation of each one of the at least three configurable frequencies. The at least three sets of MIPs are filtered to select a filtered set. The modulation imbalance effect is compensated by using the filtered set to reduce distortion of the baseband signal in the communication device.
