20110280224 | TRANSCIEVER DEVICE FOR ON-BODY AND OFF-BODY COMMUNICATIONS - The present invention relates to a transceiver device for processing a medium access control (MAC) protocol used by a transceiver. The transceiver has a first antenna system for on-body communications and a second antenna system for off-body communications, the transceiver device being designed to reserve one or more data payloads for on-body communications and to allocate the first antenna system to the transceiver for the interval of time occupied by these data payloads, and/or to reserve one or more data payloads for off-body communications and to allocate the second antenna system to the transceiver for the interval of time occupied by these data payloads. An advantageous result of this is that the optimally matched antenna system is available for on-body communications and off-body communications respectively, collisions between data payloads on the radio channel being prevented within the network, and the throughput of data thus being increased and, at the same time, energy consumption being reduced for the transceiver. | 11-17-2011 |

20130182566 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOAD BALANCING FOR DATA PACKET TRANSMISSIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - For load balancing in a large-scale wireless mesh network, a device, a system and a method are provided for controlling data packet transmissions in the wireless mesh network, wherein answers to more than one received data packet are aggregated in one answer-batch. | 07-18-2013 |
20130188562 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DELAY OPTIMIZATION OF END-TO-END DATA PACKET TRANSMISSIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - For reducing and homogenizing an end-to-end delay of data packet transmissions in a large-scale wireless mesh network, a device, a system and a method are provided for controlling data packet transmission in the wireless network, wherein transmission parameters of an intermediate node are adjusted based on a distance between the intermediate node and a sender node. | 07-25-2013 |
20130242929 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING DATA TRANSMISSION TO NODES OF A WIRELESS MESH NETWORK - For improving data packet transmission from a collector node to one or more network nodes without additional routing protocols or increase of the overall network load, a system and a method are provided, wherein a node and/or the collector node receiving an uplink data packet addressed to the collector node is adapted to store at least a sender node information and a transmitting node information as a reverse-route information for a predetermined time. | 09-19-2013 |
20130272125 | COMPONENT, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION OF DATA OF AT LEAST ONE APPLICATION OF A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - For improving application data traffic in a communications network, data traffic of at least one application of the communications network is divided into two types in view of the current situation of the network—a first type comprising data, which can be transmitted by delaying the transmission, and a second type comprising data, which should not be delayed but should be transmitted at the current time. When an analysis of the current (average) load of the network shows that transmitting both types of data could lead to a heavy data traffic, a temporal transmission suppression session can be performed with regard to at least one entity of the communications network. In the temporal transmission suppression session, transmitting of data of the first type is interrupted during transmitting data of the second type. After completion of transmitting data of the second type, transmitting data of the first type is resumed. | 10-17-2013 |
