  • Patent number: 7412265
    Abstract: A method and system for power saving in a wireless LAN is disclosed, which uses the method of modifying the beacon frame body or broadcasting the schedule information frame. The medium access behavior of each station during the contention free period (CFP) and the contention period (CP) can be dynamically re-programmed. Therefore, the stations that should access the radio medium can only wake up at the specific access time to send or receive the packet and re-enters its power-saving state after the data transmission.

  • Publication number: 20080172394
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus, which simplifies the service interface to access web service. The apparatus comprises a service interface and a conversion and interpretation unit. The service interface further includes an upload element, a download element and a command element. With such a conversion and interpretation unit, the data and the command of web pages are converted and interpreted as the contents of the three elements. The contents are converted into web page documents and forwarded to a network platform for further processing associated tasks. The presentation on the service interface may replace the browsers and achieve the function of supporting the participation-typed service. It simplifies the complexity on the network access interface, and can access different services provided by different servers.

  • Publication number: 20080085677
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is disclosed. The wireless communication device may include a first station and a second station. The first station is coupled with the second station. The first and second stations are within a first cluster. The stations within the first cluster are configured to operate cooperatively to transmit or receive signals corresponding to the cluster over at least one channel.

  • Publication number: 20080084892
    Abstract: A method of providing wireless communication is disclosed. The method may include providing a number of stations configured for transmitting signals wirelessly over at least one channel and dividing the stations into at least two clusters. The stations within each cluster may operate cooperatively to transmit or receive signals corresponding to the cluster simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 7280506
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling multi-mode radio access, more particularly, to a method and apparatus that supports multi-mode reconfigurable, quality of service (QoS) and seamless handoff in different radio systems so as to provide wire-line like QoS guarantee. The apparatus includes a network layer, a radio adaptation layer, a radio system layer and a physical layer. Therein, the radio adaptation layer is used to control the radio modules disposed in the radio system layer to support the QoS needed in the upper layer. The radio adaptation layer is also used to build up, correct and seamlessly change the radio link, and ensures that the packets from the upper layers can be orderly delivered to the lower layer with preset QoS.

  • Publication number: 20070195813
    Abstract: A multicast packet transmitting method of wireless network is provided. According to the method, a first transmitting terminal adds the number of collision count into a multicast downlink packet and receives a backoff time for an uplink packet, which is determined by a second transmitting terminal in accordance with the number of collision count in the received multicast downlink packet.

  • Publication number: 20070195769
    Abstract: A multicast packet transmitting method of wireless network is provided. According to the method, a first transmitting terminal adds a first acknowledge serial number into a multicast downlink packet and transmits the downlink packet to a second transmitting terminal. After transmitting the downlink packet, the first transmitting terminal determines whether to re-transmit the downlink packet in accordance to a received second acknowledge serial number in an uplink packet, which is output from the second transmitting terminal.

  • Publication number: 20070101020
    Abstract: A packet transmitting method of wireless network is provided. The packet transmitting method determines whether the packet to be transmitted is a real-time packet or not, and, when the packet is a real-time packet, a re-transmission mechanism of the packet is determined to be ON or OFF according to the transmission status of the wireless network itself.
