  • Patent number: 10841924
    Abstract: A basic bandwidth wireless local area network (WLAN) device or station (STA) is assigned to a secondary channel. The basic bandwidth STA may be a 20 MHz STA. On the secondary channel, the basic bandwidth STA operates in a wideband mode recovering received data transmitted from an access point (AP) as part of a high bandwidth physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). The STA and the AP can be members of a basic service set (BSS). The high bandwidth PPDU may be, for example, a 40 MHz, 60 MHz, or 80 MHz PPDU. Once on the secondary channel, the STA relies on the AP to perform channel sensing and scheduling activities, thus reducing power consumption at the STA and increasing the efficiency of the BSS. Several signaling formats are provided for indicating the secondary channel that the STA is assigned to or requests to move to.

  • Publication number: 20200344512
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for distributing asset opportunities across COD providers. One system includes an asset load manager (ALM) that receives information from the COD providers about asset opportunities for COD content of the COD providers. The ALM selected asset opportunity and delivers it to a trading platform that offers the asset opportunity to the remaining COD providers. The ALM also receives, from the trading platform, sale information of the asset opportunity to another of the COD providers and information of an asset used to fill the asset opportunity. An asset opportunity information system (AOIS) interfaces with an asset decision system (ADS), to direct the ADS to configure asset rankings and removals according to rules of the second COD provider. The ADS directs an asset insertion into the COD content of the first COD provider based on the asset ranking.

  • Patent number: 10805056
    Abstract: A wireless local area network station (STA) changes a receiver operating mode (ROM) and saves power by influencing when a ROM-conforming access point (AP) transmission takes place. The STA evaluates candidate delay regimes after a negotiation exchange with the STA. The STA then instructs the AP of a selected delay regime which the AP is permitted to use when transmitting data according to the changed ROM. The ROM can involve a change in the system bandwidth demodulated by the STA and/or the number of spatial streams demodulated by the STA. The delay regime can allow the AP to transmit with little or no delay based on the changed ROM, or the delay regime may require a fixed time delay before the AP transmits according to the changed ROM.
