20130322348 | CHANNEL SWITCHING SCHEME FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - In a channel switching scheme for wireless communication, when a wireless device transmitting and/or receiving user data of a first type via a first channel needs to switch to transmitting and/or receiving user data of a second type, a second channel is established for the second type of user data. To reduce latency and interference that may otherwise be associated with such a switch, at least one parameter for communicating on the second channel is sent over the first channel. The wireless device that receives the parameters(s) may immediately commence taking action to switch to the second channel. In addition, the wireless device that sent the parameter(s) may concurrently tear down the first channel while establishing the second channel. | 12-05-2013 |
20140269652 | AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF COORDINATING FUNCTIONALITY IN A HYBRID COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A hybrid device can be configured to execute operations to select singleton coordinating functionality in a hybrid communication network. In one embodiment, a single master device (e.g., a hybrid device configured as both a registrar and a central access point (CAP)) can be selected. The hybrid device can transmit search messages to detect an existing master device and/or to identify other hybrid devices contending to become the master device. The hybrid device with the preferred device identifier is selected as the master device. In another embodiment, operations for selecting the coordinating functionality are split into two independent stages—a CAP selection stage and a registrar selection stage. In the CAP selection stage, the hybrid device with a preferred device weight (or a preferred device weight and a preferred device identifier) is configured as the CAP. In the registrar selection stage, similar operations can be executed to select the registrar. | 09-18-2014 |
20150049616 | AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF A NETWORK DEVICE - A hybrid device can implement functionality to automatically configure itself to form a home network with other network devices. If it is determined that the hybrid device is the central access point of a hybrid network, operating parameters are determined for the central access point. The central access point can then operate in conjunction with other non-CAP hybrid devices of the hybrid device to determine how to configure the non-CAP hybrid device. The configuration of the non-CAP hybrid device can be determined based, at least in part, on a communication link performance measurement between the CAP and the non-CAP hybrid device. Furthermore, the hybrid network can also be monitored to ensure that the hybrid devices do not repeatedly or randomly switch between different configurations. | 02-19-2015 |
20150052231 | PROVIDING CUSTOM NAMES FOR HEADLESS DEVICES - A headless device does not have a user interface that conveniently allows the user to enter a custom name for the headless device. In this disclosure, a custom name may be determined (either automatically or via user input) at a user device, such as a user device that has a user interface. The custom name may be based on the type of device, location, services, and/or other information about the headless device. The custom name is introduced to the communications network in association with a network address of the headless device. In some embodiments, forged messages based on conventional network protocols may be used to associate the custom name with the network address of the headless device. | 02-19-2015 |
20150223160 | DIRECTING NETWORK ASSOCIATION OF A WIRELESS CLIENT - A wireless network may have a plurality of access points (APs). A network device may select a first AP from the plurality of APs for a wireless client device to access the wireless network. The first AP may be selected based at least in part on network performance between the wireless client device and the network device. The network device may cause the wireless client device to associate with the first AP. | 08-06-2015 |
20160088521 | LOAD BALANCING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK WITH MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS - With multiple communication channels available and range extenders, a number of paths may be available for communicating traffic in a wireless network. Traffic on paths in the wireless network may be load balanced to improve channel utilization and/or relieve an overloaded communication channel. To load balance the traffic, a first AP may determine candidate paths between a first AP and a client device, wherein at least one of the candidate paths traverses a second AP. The AP may determine available bandwidths of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on availability of communication channels of the candidate paths. The AP may steer a portion of the wireless network traffic of the client device to a first of the candidate paths based, at least in part, on the available bandwidths. | 03-24-2016 |

20160097520 | Permanently Installed Hide-Away Christmas Light Panel - The “Permanently Installed Hide-Away Christmas Light Panels” provide a platform to house a variety of LED light displays in a rigid framework that can be permanently installed on the outside of any house or building that has a roof overhang and recessed soffit face. The panels are constructed using a mold injection process. The panel is constructed in two parts: a bottom plate that forms the shell of the panel and houses the channels, wells and framework tor the panel, and a flat top plate that completes the enclosure of the panel. Preexisting light strings can be snapped into the bottom plate assembly and covered with the top plate to create the finished panel. Terminal connections between two or more LED light strings are made on the outside of the two adjacent panels. The panel provides a system that holds the lights in fixed position for display and a rigid framework to pivot the lights as a unit to a position substantially hidden from view and exposure from the damaging effects of wind, rain and UV sun rays. No other system currently exists to house arrays of LED lights for the purpose of creating a whole-house ornamental lighting display. The panels are designed to accept preexisting LED lights in a variety of sizes and configurations. They are ideal for housing traditional “icicle” style LED light strings but can also accommodate LED light bars or LED Light strips. This panel light assemblies form the ideal rigid plastic platform to house UL approved LED “plug and play” lighting display systems. These festive lighting display panels can be thought of as analogous to the invention of the clear plastic waterproof housing that enables disposable cameras to be taken underwater. Similar to that concept, this invention takes a preexisting electrical product, engineered to code and UL safety standards, and houses them in a rigid plastic panel that enhances its usefulness and functionality. By incorporating commercially available LED lights designed for outdoor use, this plastic panel housing adds additional protection to these lights and makes it possible to permanently mount them on the outside of the house. | 04-07-2016 |
