Architectures and techniques for hybrid network communications. Data is received from a remote end device via a first wireless interface and according to a first communications protocol. Data is received from a remote client device via a second wireless interface and according to a second communications protocol. At least a portion of the data from the remote end device is translated to a data format according to a first network protocol. Transmitting the translated data to a network coordinator entity via a wired interface and according to the second communications protocol.

Embodiments of a system and method for communicating according to an IEEE 802.11 standard or a WiGig specification. The method includes identifying a message that requires a response from another station in less than a threshold amount of time, and that the other station cannot likely respond to within a point coordination function (PCF) interframe sequence (PIFS). The message also includes setting a reverse direction (RD) response time field in a header of an MPDU corresponding to the message to a value indicating that a response from the other station is not required within a short interframe sequence (SIFS).

Disclosed wireless systems, devices, and methods accommodate interference between different communication protocols. One illustrative wireless communications system embodiment includes: an accessory device and a media device. The accessory device supports a wireless streaming protocol and a wireless control protocol that interferes with the wireless streaming protocol. The media device intermittently communicates with the accessory device via the wireless control protocol while streaming an audio signal to the accessory device via the wireless streaming protocol, limiting a duration of each wireless control protocol communication interval to less than a guaranteed packet loss threshold (which exceeds twice the potential packet loss threshold) of the wireless streaming protocol. The devices may each include a radio module and a controller. The radio module operates in a first wireless mode to support the wireless control protocol, and operates in a second wireless mode to support the wireless streaming protocol, where the first modes are incompatible. The controller switches the radio module between the first and second wireless modes with a first mode duration less than a predetermined threshold.

In order to reduce the HS-SCCH overhead, a fixed time allocation approach could be used. In that case, the scheduling time of each VoIP user is semi-static and thus there is no need to transmit e.g. HS-SCCH toward the UE for the initial transmissions, if the UE knows when to receive data on the HS-DSCH and what transport format is used. There are at least two ways of implementing this: 1) HS-SCCH/E-DPCCH signalling to indicate parameters of a first transmission, with subsequent transmissions using the same parameters (and HS-SCCH/E-DPCCH always sent when changes needed), or 2) fixed allocation, RRC signalling used to allocate users and tell the default transport parameters.

A mobile application gateway configured to interconnect mobile communication devices on a cellular network with an enterprise network is provided. The mobile application gateway includes a voice and data signaling gateway configured to provide routing functionalities, service functionalities and admission control. A gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is configured to establish a secure data session between one or more of the mobile communication devices and the enterprise network by establishing a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel between a carrier-hosted serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the GGSN.

A radio communication technology that can achieve low latency, high reliability, and low jitter characteristics. A transmitter is configured to duplicate a packet and transmit the duplicated packets. The receiver is configured to receive the duplicated packets. The receiver is configured to transfer, to an upper layer in the receiver, a first packet that is a packet received earlier out of the duplicated packets. A transfer timing that is a timing with which the first packet is transferred to the upper layer includes at least one of: a reception timing of a second packet that is a packet received later than the first packet out of the duplicated packets; and a cyclical timing (Cycle time) corresponding to a transmission cycle of the duplicated packets.

An example according to the present specification relates to a technique for filtering a PPDU in a wireless LAN (WLAN) system. An STA may receive an NGV PPDU including a first control field and a second control field. The STA may filter the NGV PPDU on the basis of the second control field and may defer channel access on the basis of the first control field.
