  • Publication number: 20260136397
    Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for Wi-Fi 6E enhancement in contention-based protocol are disclosed. The disclosed methods enable a Wi-Fi 6E system to transmit a Channel Switch Announcement (CSA) to enhance the Wi-Fi performance. The disclosed systems preclude bandwidth reduction and interrupted transmission, which can occur using traditional methods.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8249080
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for transporting a serial stream via a lower speed network using multiple parallel paths. At a transmitter, an optical or electromagnetic waveform is accepted representing a serial stream of digital information, and unbundled into n virtual information streams. Each virtual information stream is divided into a sequence of segments. Each segment is encapsulated, creating a sequence of packets by adding a start indicator to the beginning of each segment, and a terminate indicator to the end of each segment. Each packet is disinterleaved across m lanes and reinterleaved into n branches of framed data. Optical or electromagnetic waveforms representing the framed data are transmitted via n network branches. A receiver is also provided, which essentially reverses the above-described transmission method.
