Abstract: An approach is described for a wireless device comprising a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. In a thread-based device, a thread radio coexists with a primary radio, such as a Bluetooth or WiFi radio. Because both radio share a common frequency band, the thread radio requests grants from the primary radio for transmission and reception. So as to avoid bogging down the primary radio, the thread radio throttles its requests. Specifically, the thread radio tracks certain variables indicative of the number of requests that have been made within a time window and the types of requests that have been made to the primary radio. By limiting the number of total requests and the number of requests of each type within the time window, the thread radio avoids overburdening the primary radio.

Abstract: A storage system includes a controller and block-based storage device(s) that include LSA blocks arranged as a log structured array (LSA). The controller creates a first and second LUN, each including LBA locations. The controller assigns the first LUN to a first host and the second LUN to a second host, accumulates first host data associated with a first LBA location of the first LUN, writes a block-size worth of such data to a first LSA block, and maps the first LBA location to the first LSA block. In response to receiving an ODX Copy Offload instruction, the controller determines the first host data should be migrated to a target LBA location in the second LUN, determines the first and second LUN are exclusively mappable to the same LSA, maps the target LBA location to the first LSA block, and unmaps the first LBA location from the first LSA block.

Abstract: An approach is described for a wireless device comprising a transceiver and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. In a thread-based mesh network, a transmitting device occasionally transmits various multicast messages to the network for the purpose of maintaining the network. Of these messages, the mesh link establishment (MLE) advertisement message is particularly important as it notifies neighbor routers as to the presence and function of the transmitting device. Therefore, the transmitting device of the present disclosure transmits its MLE advertisement message to the network multiple times within a given time window. Additionally, the message is transmitted each time with a same identifier. A recipient device stores the identifier of each most recent MLE advertisement message. The identifier of each subsequently received MLE advertisement is compared to the stored identifier. This allows the recipient device to determine whether the message has been previously received.
