Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing overhead in a communication system are disclosed. Different frame types are aggregated into an enhanced aggregated frame in response to a determination that the different frames are suitable for transmission within a single reservation period.

Abstract: Systems and methods for extending header fields are disclosed. The header field may be extended without changing the current size of the header. Reserve bits may be used to indicate the use of an extended header and the extended header may be store in a variety of locations within the frame, including the frame payload or pad bits.

Abstract: Systems and methods for decreasing the amount of information sent on a feedback channel are disclosed. A hierarchical tree structure may be used to reduce the amount of information sent on the feedback channel. Spectral binning may also be used in conjunction with the hierarchical tree structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for decreasing the amount of information sent on a feedback channel are disclosed. Various forms of spectral binning may be used to reduce the amount of information sent on the feedback channel. The systems and methods may be applicable to wideband communication systems, ultra-wideband communication systems, and/or other communication system using multiple carrier frequencies (e.g., tones).

Abstract: Systems and methods for decreasing the amount of information sent on a feedback channel are disclosed. Spectral binning and/or a Markov state model may be used to reduce the amount of information sent on the feedback channel.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for a wireless mobile display digital interface (WMDDI) association procedure that allows establishing and joining more than one multicast group to facilitate the interoperability of multiple client devices based on host and client capabilities. The protocol provides for the exchange and update of capabilities and multicast addresses for layered multicast transmission applications. The system is used for interoperating devices with different capabilities and provides for efficient transmissions by using different multicast addresses mapped to different layers of a bitstream. The protocol adapts to changes in capabilities, in joining/releasing of multicast addresses and in link quality.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for optimizing a number of retransmission attempts in a multimedia environment and managing delays in a host MAC layer. In its various aspects, the presently claimed invention includes several methodologies and systems that are configured for determining an optimal retry limit in response to one or both of a packet error rate bound and a latency bound. To the extent that the retry limit is determined with respect to one of the aforementioned boundaries, the presently claimed invention may include determining a confidence level that the non-selected bound will also be met by the selected retry limit. The presently claimed invention details devices, systems and methods optimizing the number of retransmission attempts to ensure delivery of the selected data packets while guarding against undue delays and application disruptions.

Abstract: A method for reserving bandwidth in a wireless system is provided. The method includes reserving one or more communications slots between two or more wireless devices communicating in a wireless network and providing preferential access to at least one wireless device across the network according to a first subset of the communications slots. The method also includes providing preferential access to at least one other device across the network during a second subset of the communications slots.

Abstract: A receiver includes a decoder configured to decode at least a portion of a data stream comprising a data frame. The data frame includes a code block having a data block and a parity block. The receiver also includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine whether to disable at least a portion of the receiver during transmission of the parity block to the receiver when the data block contains at least one erasure.
