  • Publication number: 20220113982
    Abstract: An electronic device (such as an access point) that selectively changes to an alternative or different partition is described. During operation, when the electronic device is in a first power state (such as a lower power state), an integrated circuit in the electronic device may detect or receive an error state or a change instruction. In response, the integrated circuit may change an active partition in the electronic device from a first partition to a second partition. Next, the integrated circuit may transition the electronic device to a second power state (such as a higher power state). Furthermore, a processor in the electronic device (which may be the same as or different from the integrated circuit) may install and execute an operating system of the electronic device in the second partition.

  • Patent number: 8005030
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to facilitating WLAN diagnostics and management using traffic stream metrics. In a data collection stage, according to one implementation of the present invention, localized uplink measurements are taken at a wireless client associated with a wireless access point. During periodic intervals (e.g., every 5 seconds), the wireless client, in one implementation, transmits uplink measurement information to the wireless access point. The wireless access point may also take downlink measurements, which may also include one or more of the following metrics: observed latency, queuing delay, packet loss rate, and packet count information. The wireless access point, in one implementation, may aggregate and report the uplink and downlink metric information to a network management system.

  • Patent number: 7680074
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for switching a mobile processing device from communicating over a wireless connection with a first base unit to a second base unit based upon latency. In accordance with this invention, the mobile processing device determines latency information for packets being transmitted over the wireless connection to and from a base unit. The latency information is compared to a threshold value. If the latency information is greater than the threshold value, the mobile processing device adjusts parameters of the wireless connection between the mobile processing device and the network.

  • Patent number: 7647046
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and code in a carrier medium to operate in a first access point of a wireless network in communication with at least one associated client station. The method includes wirelessly broadcasting a management frame including an indication that the first access point will stop being active, such that each associated client station can wirelessly roam to a second access point prior to the first access point ceasing being active. One embodiment further includes reducing the transmit power of wireless communication used to wirelessly transmit information to the associated client stations, such that each associated client station can eventually wirelessly roam to the second access point.
