Publication number: 20160294505Abstract: The present application relates to methods for adapting a data rate used to generate data packets for transmission by a wireless transmitter (12) operating in a wireless network. In one method, the transmitter (12) monitors the number of data packets that cannot be transmitted in a given time period, and adjusts the data rate used for generation of data packets for transmission in accordance with the number of packets that remain un-transmitted at the end of the given time period. In another method, the transmitter (12) uses information associated with or derived from Acknowledgements received from a receiving device to determine whether an adjustment to the data rate used for generation of data packets for transmission is required. In a further method, the transmitter (12) monitors a packet error rate for transmitted packets and determines a maximum packet error rate that can be supported by the wireless network without instability.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2015Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Richard TURNER, Simon CLARKE, Laurent WOJCIESZAK, Matthew GIBSON

Patent number: 9189533Abstract: Embodiments described herein may involve enabling applications to cooperate with a system-level sync framework. The sync framework may provide system synchronization of files between user devices and a cloud storage service. Arbitrary applications on a user computing device can communicate with the sync framework to temporarily suspend synchronization of a specified file by the sync framework. The application can register functions with the sync framework that the sync framework can invoke in relation to suspending synchronization, continuing to provide system-level access to the file for arbitrary applications, and resuming synchronization.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Marc Wautier, Daniel Fiordalis, Miko Arnab S.
