In an embodiment, information about available information/services is pushed to network nodes using information packets (ants). Nodes requiring services send query packets (ants) and a node may send a response to a query ant when information is available. Ants may be forwarded throughout the network based on popularity of nodes, freshness of information/requests, routing table information, and requests or interest by consumer nodes captured in information routing table. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of a base station and methods for allocating uplink bandwidth using SDMA are generally described herein. In some embodiments, uplink bandwidth request messages are received on a bandwidth request contention channel from one or more subscriber stations. The uplink bandwidth request messages are generated by the subscriber stations by modulating pilot subcarriers of a randomly selected disjoint pilot pattern with a randomly selected orthogonal sequence. The base station allocates uplink bandwidth to the subscriber stations when the uplink bandwidth request messages are successfully detected and decoded. The base station uses an SDMA technique to determine channel responses based on the orthogonal sequences to detect and decode the uplink bandwidth request messages.

Abstract: Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to enable coexistence of high-density and low-density transmissions with a modified CSMA protocol. Embodiments include a self-CTS (self clear to send) packet transmission prior to transmission of a ready to send (RTS) signal when initiating a high density transmission amidst legacy devices. In many embodiments, the self-CTS or the RTS includes a network allocation vector (NAV) having a value for the duration of the transmission. In some embodiments, the self-CTS may include a flag or bit to indicate the Shading Transmission Starts (STS).
