Techniques and devices for determining a preferred physical layer for communication by a node in a Thread network are described. The node transmits a first IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks, 6LoWPAN, frame to a neighbor node using a first physical layer and transmits the first 6LoWPAN frame to the neighbor node using a second physical layer. The node determines a first preference value for the neighbor node using the first physical layer and determines a second preference value for the neighbor node using the second physical layer. The node compares the first preference value and the second preference value to determine the preferred physical layer for communication and transmits a second 6LoWPAN frame to the neighbor node using the preferred physical layer.

The invention sends a hot link to a device. The device may be on a wireless network, a wired network, or directly coupled to the device sending the hot link. The hot link contains an associated action that is performed by the device receiving the hot link. The associated action may be performed when a user interface is activated or automatically when the hot link is received by the device. The action can be a broadcast action, Internet action, call action, download action, or upload action. The broadcast action instructs the device to tune to a particular broadcast in response to the selection of the user interface. The internet action instructs the device to access an Internet site in response to the selection of the user interface. The call action instructs the device to call a telephone number in response to the selection of use interface.

The present disclosure relates to an electronic apparatus, a wireless communication method and a computer-readable medium. The electronic apparatus for wireless communication according to one embodiment comprises a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to perform control to send or receive configuration information. The configuration information is related to configuration of a reference signal used in a discovery process of an integrated access backhaul (IAB) link node.

A method of operating a network server, such as a mobile application gateway, connect devices on a cellular or carrier network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network, such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise.

A wireless station associates with an access point to join a wireless local area network (WLAN). The access point is part of the WLAN and operates as a switching device between wireless stations of the WLAN. The wireless station forms a TCP session via the access point with an external device which is external to the WLAN. The wireless station exchanges (i.e., transmits and/or receives) a first sequence of packets on the TCP session. The wireless station receives a frame from the access point, the frame indicating that the wireless station has been disassociated after having associated earlier with the access point. The wireless station re-associates with the access point. The access point then communicates with the external device on the TCP session after re-associating, the communicating involving exchanging a second sequence of packets with the external device after the re-association.

A network function is configured to initiate a bulk session cleanup with a single release request. The network function detects a configuration change to a wireless network system that affects multiple user sessions for multiple user devices. The network function generates a single bulk session release request identifying the affected user sessions and provides the single bulk session release request to at least one other network function responsible for the user sessions.

The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs.

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates wireless network access. The system includes a trusted network access and tunneling service (TNATS) associated with a ubiquitous static service set identifier (SSID). The system also includes a proximate wireless access point (WAP). During operation, the system enables the TNATS on the proximate WAP, which then broadcasts the ubiquitous static SSID. Next, the proximate WAP receives a request from a guest device to access the TNATS through the proximate WAP. The proximate WAP then initiates an authentication process with the TNATS for a user of the guest device. If the authentication succeeds, the proximate WAP allows the guest device to access a network through the proximate WAP.

A computed tomography (CT) apparatus wireless controller has a CT main control circuit and a wireless main control circuit. The wireless main control circuit receives a control signal from a wireless secondary controller, and subjects the control signal to a validity check according to an identifier of the wireless secondary controller carried in the control signal when the control signal passes the check, it is supplied to the CT main control circuit from the wireless main control circuit. The CT main control circuit performs corresponding operation control according to the control signal.

An offline communication method includes steps of: receiving, by a first TDD (Time Division Duplexing) terminal, an instruction for setting the first TDD terminal as a D2D (Device-to-Device) terminal device; interchanging, by the first TDD terminal, upstream time slots and downstream time slots thereof, and setting the first TDD terminal to be in a mode of conforming a D2D communication environment in response to said instruction; and searching, in a mode that the upstream time slots and the downstream time slots are interchanged, for a second TDD terminal which is adjacent to the first TDD terminal and is not set as a D2D mode, and establishing a connection therebetween after the second TDD terminal is searched out. By this way, communication between those offline intelligent mobile terminals within a short distance can be carried out.
