10172099 · 2019-01-01 · ·

Logic may comprise hardware and/or code to coordinate communications of wireless communications devices to reduce power consumption by stations. Logic may coordinate communications in an access point. Logic may generate and transmit a wake frame from the access point to the station to wake the receive circuitry of the station. Logic of the station may wake the receive circuitry from an idle mode, which may be a less linear and less sensitive mode, to a receiver (RX) active state, which is a high linear and high sensitivity mode. Once the receiver circuitry enters the RX active state, the station is ready to receive a transmission. Logic may implement the wake frame as a medium access control frame or as a null data packet, physical layer frame.

UE measurement reporting in secondary cell group dormancy

A user equipment (UE) may enter a dormant state for a secondary cell group (SCG) of a secondary network (SN) having a primary serving cell (PSCell). The UE may maintain an uplink parameter set for the PSCell while the SCG is dormant for the UE. For example, the UE may receive a parameter change message from either the SN or a master network (MN) and transmit a parameter change acknowledgment to either the SN or the MN. The UE may transmit a periodic measurement report for at least the PSCell to the PSCell of the SN based on the uplink parameter set.

Transmit power and receive gain adjustments in multi-radio devices

A multi-radio wireless device capable of communicating on several wireless communication protocols (WCP) such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. while avoiding on-device interference between radios operating using different WCPs. The device may measure an isolation value between radios during a calibration phase. During runtime operations, if a transmit activity is detected, the device may set a maximum receive gain using the expected transmit power and the isolation value. If a receive activity is detected, the device may set a maximum transmit power using an expected receive gain and the isolation value. The maximum receive gain and/or transmit powers may be obtained from a lookup table matching receive gain values to reference values where the reference values are a combination of transmit powers and isolation values.

Backoff mechanism for dynamic clear channel assessment (CCA)

A wireless first device may receive a packet from another device from an overlapping basic service set (OBSS). A received power of the packet may be greater than a threshold for transmitting during the time of the packet. If the first device reduces its transmit power, the first device may increase the threshold. If the received power is less than the increased threshold, the first device may count down a backoff count during a transmission time or transmission opportunity of the packet. In some cases, after the transmission time or transmission opportunity, the first device may increase its transmission power. In some cases, the condition for counting down a backoff count may also include initiating or finishing the transmission during the transmission time or the transmission opportunity of the packet, or transmitting at the reduced power.

PROGRAM FOR ADJUSTING CHANNEL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN ACCESS POINTS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

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.
