Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080240091TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT SEAMLESS MOBILITY OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES ENGAGED IN A SESSION INITIATION PROTOCOL (SIP) SESSION - Embodiments of the invention relate to techniques to allow a wireless device engaged in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) communication session to move between heterogeneous wireless networks without terminating the SIP session.10-02-2008
20090003268CLIENT RESOURCE RESERVATION IN ACCESS NETWORKS FOR ROAMING - A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes granting a mobile device access to a network. The method also includes maintaining the mobile device state information on a network access device that is broadcasting the network, when the mobile device leaves the network, and also maintaining the network state information on the mobile device, when the mobile device leaves the network. Additionally, the method includes restoring the mobile device access to the network using the mobile device state information and the network state information.01-01-2009
20090003319Network interface apparatus - An intelligent network interface apparatus to provide always-on, always-connected processing for call signals is described. One embodiment of the apparatus includes logic to selectively handle incoming call signals even when a computer to which the apparatus is operably connected is unavailable (e.g., asleep). The apparatus may also include logic for selectively waking up a sleeping computer upon determining that incoming call signals indicate that a communication with the computer is desired. The incoming call signals may be associated with a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communication.01-01-2009
20090005092CONTENTION WINDOW ADAPTATION OF WIRELESS DEVICES FOR MITIGATION OF PERIODIC INTERFERENCE - When a wireless communications device determines that a microwave oven or other source of periodic interference is operating nearby, the device may rapidly increase the size of its contention window to reduce the number of retries that it attempts during the period of interference. Similarly, it may rapidly decrease the size of the contention window during the periods of non-interference. In some embodiments, the maximum size of the contention window derived during periods of interference may be sized to assure enough time for successful completion of at least one transmission during the next period of non-interference.01-01-2009
20090052574MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL ADAPTATION METHOD FOR MICROWAVE INTERFERENCE - Disclosed is a Media Access Control (MAC) adaptation method for adapting transmission of packets by a wireless device in response to interference in a wireless medium. On detecting interference in the wireless medium, the wireless device triggers sensing of wireless spectrum to determine presence of a periodic interference signal. A first energy level and a second energy level of the periodic interference signal are estimated and a threshold energy level is set between the first energy level and the second energy level for transmission of packets by the wireless device. Based on the threshold energy level and a current energy level in the wireless medium, the wireless device transmits packets over the wireless medium.02-26-2009
20090286525NETWORK SELECTION FOR MULTIPLE NETWORK PLATFORMS - Embodiments provide methods, systems, and apparatuses to generate and send a command message to a mobile device connected to a first wireless network to command the mobile device to connect to one of one or more candidate wireless networks. The message includes embedded service flow context information of the candidate networks including one or more attributes of the candidate wireless networks that are of potential interest to the mobile device in determining a performance or security impact if the mobile device switches to the one or more wireless networks. The mobile device can conditionally refuse the command if the candidate wireless networks are unable to meet one or more service level requirements of the apparatus. Other embodiments are disclosed and described.11-19-2009
20090296634Open and extensible framework for ubiquitous radio management and services in heterogeneous wireless networks - An open and extensible framework for ubiquitous radio management and services in heterogeneous wireless networks is disclosed. A radio interface manager abstracts interface attributes of multiple heterogeneous network interfaces into a set of abstracted attributes for access by one or more applications.12-03-2009
20100070652Synchronization of multiple incoming network communication streams - A device, method, and computer readable medium are disclosed. In one embodiment the device includes a first network packet storage queue that is capable of storing incoming network packets from a network. The device also includes a second network packet storage queue that is capable of storing incoming network packets from a network. The device also includes flush logic to synchronize a flush of the network packets stored in the first and second network packet storage queues. The flush is triggered by a flush event affecting at least one of the storage queues.03-18-2010
20100169683Platform and processor power management - The present invention relates to platform power management.07-01-2010
20100250982CONSERVING POWER IN A PLATFORM SUPPORTING NETWORK INTERFACES - A computer system may comprise a platform in which a processing block may be provisioned. The processing block may determine an optimal compression ratio such that the optimal compression ratio may cause a minimum of a total power to be consumed by the computer platform. The total power may comprise total compression power consumption and total transmission power consumption. The processing block may generate compressed frames from a plurality of frames generated by an application. The compressed frames may be generated by encoding the plurality of frames using the optimal compression ratio. The processing block may select a network interface from multiple network interfaces supported by the computer system to transmit the compressed frames.09-30-2010
20110154080METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR I/O DEVICES ASSISTED PLATFORM POWER MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method are described for input/output (I/O) device assisted platform power management. An apparatus may comprise, for example, power management logic operative to receive idle duration information from one or more input/output (I/O) devices and to modify a power state for one or more components based on the idle information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.06-23-2011
