Patent number: 8488584Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus, system, method and computer readable medium therefor for transmission between a parent node and a child node are provided. The child node transmits a first packet to the parent node via point-to-point transmission. When the parent node tries to transmit a second packet to the child node, a synchronization signal is transmitted first and then the second packet is transmitted to the child node via broadcast transmission after a certain period. If the child node fails to receive the second packet during the certain period, the child node sends a signal to the parent node.

Patent number: 7969951Abstract: A power-saving wireless network, a packet transmitting method for use in the wireless network, and computer readable medium therefor are provided. The wireless network comprises a PAN coordinator, a receiving node and a transferring node. When the transmitting node has a packet planed to be transmitted to the receiving node which is in a sleep mode, the packet is alternatively transmitted to the PAN coordinator.

After the packets are all successfully transmitted, the receiving node turns back to the sleep mode subsequently. Thereby, the performance of the wireless network would not be restricted to the sleep period and memory capacity. Thus, the nodes in the wireless network would greatly facilitate saving power.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Institute for Information IndustryInventors: Yung-Chih Liu, Shih-Hung Liu, Ming-Jer Tsai
