| 20080276004 | Populating Location Wiremap Databases - A method for populating location wiremap databases. In particular implementations, a method includes establishing a link layer connection with a client on a switch port, where the switch port is associated with a port identifier and is mapped to a location; identifying one or more connection attributes of the connection, where the connection attributes comprise a network layer address of the client; and transmitting the port identifier and the network layer address of the client to a location server. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090052382 | Infrastructure-Based Enabling Indication for Dynamic Frequency Selection in Wireless Networks - A wireless access point selection system. In particular implementations, a method includes receiving a notification that identifies a wireless access point that detects radar on an operating channel and identifies the operating channel; updating neighbor lists of one or more neighboring wireless access points to remove the wireless access point from the neighbor list, where the neighbor list comprises neighbor wireless access points, corresponding operating channels, and corresponding enable indications, where each enable indication indicates if a channel availability check is required before performing active scanning; and transmitting the updated neighbor list to the neighboring wireless access points. In one implementation, a system provides a DFS enable indication to wireless clients so they can know whether a channel availability check is required prior to transmitting. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090109847 | Bi-Directional Policer for Data Rate Enforcement over Half-Duplex Mediums - A bi-directional policer especially suitable for application in, but not limited to, wireless networks or other shared access or half-duplex communication mediums. In a particular implementation, bi-directional policers measure a flow of frames (L | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090109855 | CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT FOR A MULTI-CHANNEL DUAL-RADIO MESH BACKHAUL - In an example embodiment, a method for determining backhaul channel assignments for multi-channel dual radio mesh nodes. The method comprises acquiring collision domain data for each access point of an associated mesh network. A cost function is calculated for each access point of the associated mesh network, the cost function assigning a weighted value for each access point in a collision domain based on a number of access points in the collision domain. Backhaul channel assignments for selected for each access point that minimizes the cost function. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090201898 | End-to-End Packet Aggregation in Mesh Networks - A packet aggregation system. In particular implementations, a method includes accessing one or more transmit queues, each corresponding to a wireless client associated with a given wireless mesh access point of a plurality of mesh access points. The method further includes selecting a mesh access point of the plurality of mesh access points and selecting a transmit queue corresponding to a wireless client associated with the selected mesh access point. The method further includes aggregating packets that are destined for the selected wireless client, up to a size limit, taking into account the path to the selected mesh point as well as quality of service constraints, and composing and transmitting the aggregated packet to the selected mesh access point. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090245184 | CONCIERGE LAUNCHER - In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an application launcher, referred to herein as a “Concierge Launcher,” that enables a mobile device to access a wireless local area network (WLAN) and launch an application with one click. In an example embodiment, the WLAN advertises one or more services, for example a Concierge Service, along with the identity of the provider of the service and optionally a Uniform Resource Indicator (URI) for the application to use the service. The mobile device is configured to detect the advertisement and notify an end user of the availability of the service. If the end user selects the service, the provider of the service is validated, and an application, such as a web browser, on the mobile device configured to use the service is started. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20110026441 | DYNAMICALLY DEDICATED WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK SERVICE FOR HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO TELECONFERENCING - In an example embodiment described herein is an apparatus comprising a wireless transceiver and channel selection logic coupled to the wireless transceiver and operable to select an operating frequency for the wireless transceiver. The channel selection logic is configured to reserve a dedicated channel having a special identifier. The channel selection logic is configured to have the wireless transceiver advertise the dedicated service on a normal operating frequency. The channel selection logic is responsive to receiving a request from a wireless device via the wireless transceiver on the normal operating frequency to use the dedicated channel to switch to the dedicated channel and establish communications with the wireless device on the dedicated channel. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110051619 | CHANNEL-ASSIGNMENT FOR A MULTI-CHANNEL DUAL-RADIO MESH BACKHAUL - In an example embodiment, a method for determining backhaul channel assignments for multi-channel dual radio mesh nodes. The method comprises acquiring collision domain data for each access point of an associated mesh network. A cost function is calculated for each access point of the associated mesh network, the cost function assigning a weighted value for each access point in a collision domain based on a number of access points in the collision domain. Backhaul channel assignments for selected for each access point that minimizes the cost function. | 03-03-2011 |
