Abstract: This document describes improvements in range and reliability for wireless mesh networks implementing IEEE 802.11 networking technologies. Reducing the number of spatial streams, N, to a lower value at middle and far distance ranges using an optimized rate control algorithm, preemptively trades off a lower throughput limit for a higher link budget. This higher link budget provides longer range and higher RF link reliability by using an N×N spatial diversity of MIMO RF channels for maximizing link budget instead of network throughput.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a circuit for discharging parasitic capacitance in a display panel with common-anode topology having a plurality of light emitters, as well as a circuit for charging parasitic capacitance in a display panel with common-cathode topology. In the common-cathode topology, the circuit includes a three-terminal device having a gate, a source, and a drain, wherein one of the source and the drain is electrically coupled to a common cathode of the light emitters, and a mechanism for controlling the three-terminal device, the mechanism being electrically coupled to the gate. Shortly after a previously selected light emitter is unselected, the mechanism turns on the three-terminal device to form a conductive path between the source and the drain. The mechanism turns off the three-terminal device after a voltage at the common cathode is increased to a predetermined voltage level or after a maximum period of time lapses.
