20120008604 | ENABLEMENT FOR REALLOCATED BANDWIDTH ENVIRONMENTS - A system for managing the enablement of beaconing in apparatuses operating in reallocated bandwidth corresponding to a geographic area. For example, apparatuses may initially determine whether they desire to operate as beaconing-type apparatuses or non-beaconing-type apparatuses. The apparatuses may then transmit enablement request frames comprising at least apparatus identification information and the previously determined desired beaconing or non-beaconing apparatus type. Apparatuses may then receive enablement request frames that at least designate the apparatuses as first tier beaconing apparatuses, second tier beaconing apparatuses or non-beaconing apparatuses. The apparatuses may then proceed to configure themselves based on the enablement information. | 01-12-2012 |

At least two radio carriers on non-contiguous frequency channels are allocated for use in communication with a network element of the wireless network, and one of the allocated radio carriers is commonly used by all client stations communicating with the network element. | 06-20-2013 |
20140066059 | METHOD AND APPARATUS DETERMINING WHITE SPACE INFORMATION - A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to obtain white space information regarding one or more white space channels that are available at the current location of a mobile terminal and one or more service providers that offer connectivity utilizing the white space spectrum. In the context of a method performed, for example, by an access network discovery and selection function device, a location of a mobile terminal is determined and, based on the location of the mobile terminal, white space information is obtained. The method also causes the white space information to be provided to the mobile terminal, such as by utilizing a device management protocol. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided. | 03-06-2014 |
20140086212 | INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT IN WIRELESS NETWORK - Interference management in a wireless network is disclosed in this document. Two networks with overlapping frequency bands and coverage areas are configured to cooperate in order to mitigate mutual interference. Some embodiments relate to medium reservation in a first network to protect a transmission in a second network, while other embodiments relate to aligning communication parameters between the networks. | 03-27-2014 |

20090310692 | CHANNEL ACCESS PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to enable an access point in a wireless network to use Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) reserve subcarriers of OFDM symbols for transmitting high priority voice data and video data to particular wireless devices, while the access point allocates the remaining available subcarriers for contention-based access by other wireless devices. | 12-17-2009 |
20100214169 | BEAMFORMING TRAINING FOR FUNCTIONALLY-LIMITED APPARATUSES - A system for configuring antenna systems for selecting directional communication signals corresponding to other apparatuses. A directional communication signal may be selected as the result of a beamforming training operation coordinated between an initiating apparatus and a responder apparatus. Particular modes and/or features may be requested by initiating apparatuses that, for example, may be functionally-limited. The responder may take these requested modes and/or features into account when formulating a beamforming training set for transmission to the initiator. | 08-26-2010 |
20110211490 | ASYMMETRIC BEAM STEERING PROTOCOL - A system for configuring antenna systems for selecting directional communication signals corresponding to other apparatuses. A directional communication signal may be selected as the result of a beam training operation coordinated between at least two apparatuses. Beam selection training sequences may then be broadcast from one apparatus, and the receiving apparatus may determine the quality of each received beam training sequence in order to approximate a vector describing the direction from which the signals were sent. | 09-01-2011 |
20130252657 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TRANSMIT POWER MANAGEMENT AND LOCATION INFORMATION ESTIMATION - Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments of the invention are disclosed for transmit power management and location information estimation employable, for example, in operation in TV white spaces. In example embodiments of the invention, a method comprises: obtaining, at a white space device, a plurality of managed white space device regulatory maximum transmit power levels; calculating, at the white space device, a plurality of managed white space device local maximum transmit power levels; determining to transmit, from the white space device, the calculated plurality of managed white space device local maximum transmit power levels; and performing, at the white space device, one or more of: administrating one or more managed white space device power protection rules; setting a managed white space device default transmit power level; and rejecting managed white space device association and/or enablement. | 09-26-2013 |
