  • Patent number: 9544858
    Abstract: Disclosed is a channel power adjustment method and system based on positional information of plural self-organizing subnets in a restricted area. The method includes a first setting step of setting, based on the positional information of the plural self-organizing subnets, a positional priority for each of the plural self-organizing subnets; and a first adjustment step of adjusting, at least partially based on the positional priorities of the plural self-organizing subnets, a power of a first device in a first self-organizing subnet working in a first channel, satisfying a predetermined rule to a first power of the first channel.

  • Patent number: 9369987
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining a distance between a first device and a second device in a wireless environment. The method includes steps of obtaining environmental parameters in a LOS propagation environment; determining whether the environment between the first device and the second device is the LOS propagation environment or a NLOS propagation environment; and calculating, based on the determination result of the determining step, the distance between the first device and the second device by utilizing the environmental parameters in the LOS or NLOS propagation environment as well as a path loss model.

  • Patent number: 9326315
    Abstract: Disclosed are an area-limited self-organized wireless network management method, a communication apparatus, and a system. The method comprises a step of, when a communications apparatus which is entering the limited area receives area signals for indicating a specific area in which network nodes are located, determining by the communications apparatus whether the master node exists in the limited area; a step of, if it is determined that the master node exists, performing identity authentication with regard to the master node and letting the communications apparatus itself be a sub node by the communications apparatus; and a step of, if it is determined that the master node does not exist, letting the communications apparatus itself be the master node by the communications apparatus, wherein, the master node is in charge of entering of a new sub node and synchronization of shared secret keys between the network nodes.

  • Publication number: 20150029959
    Abstract: A method and a system for allocating a radio channel are disclosed. The method includes the steps of determining one or more priority radio channels exclusively for transmitting priority data; determining whether there is a condition of allocating the one or more priority radio channels in an organized wireless group (OWG); and allocating one of the one or more priority radio channels, when the one or more priority radio channels are empty.

  • Publication number: 20140241207
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for discovering a node in a wireless self-organized network are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining, by nodes in the network, a unified node discovery channel based on unified information provided by a trusted third party; and finding the node based on the unified node discovery channel. According to the node discovering method, a node can be discovered rapidly, and the time for discovering a node can be reduced.
