|---|
| 20080270630 | Hardware control interface for IEEE standard 802.11 including transmission control interface component - A standardized 802.11 hardware control interface may be provided such that a driver may communicate with any one or more of a variety of network adapters. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090031046 | Hardware control interface for IEEE standard 802.11 - A standardized 802.11 hardware control interface may be provided such that a driver may communicate with any one or more of a variety of network adapters. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090175182 | Differentiated service transmission parameters adaptation - Systems and methods are provided for transmitting data on a wireless network. Some embodiments provide a technique whereby a type is determined for the transmission, at least one metric is determined for the transmission based at least in part on the transmission type and/or an indication of conditions on the channel on which the transmission is to be performed, at least one transmission parameter to be used in performing the transmission is selected to optimize the at least one metric, and the data is transmitted in accordance with the at least one transmission parameter. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090204725 | WIMAX COMMUNICATION THROUGH WI-FI EMULATION - A computer system with a software framework for supporting Wi-Fi communications that is used for WiMAX communications in a user friendly way. A Wi-Fi emulation component presents a driver interface to the framework that allows Wi-Fi user interfaces and control functions to operate with a WiMAX network card. Functions of the WiMAX card not supported through the framework may be translated within the emulation component to command objects that are passed by the framework to extensibility components. The extensibility components may be supplied in association with the network interface card. The emulation component also presents an interface to a driver for a WiMAX network interface card in a form that may interface directly with the framework, if the framework is modified to support WiMAX communications. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090303921 | LOW COST MESH NETWORK CAPABILITY - A wireless device that utilizes a single network interface to simultaneously connect to an infrastructure network and a mesh network. The device has a driver layer with a media access control module for each network type. A multiplexing module and transceiver module within the driver can direct received information associated with one of the networks to an appropriate media access control and then to an appropriate network adapter. For transmitted data, the multiplexing module can receive data from the application layer through an appropriate network adapter and route it to an appropriate media access control module for processing. The processed data can be interleaved by the transceiver for transmission. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090303934 | DIRECT WIRELESS CLIENT TO CLIENT COMMUNICATION - A wireless station is connected to a wireless network through an access point and can establish a direct client-to-client connection to a second wireless station. The wireless station can communicate directly with the second wireless station without involving the access point. The wireless station communicates with the wired network and with other wireless stations through the access point. The second wireless station may have an infrastructure connection to the access point or may be independent. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100218198 | HARDWARE CONTROL INTERFACE FOR IEEE STANDARD 802.11 INCLUDING TRANSMISSION CONTROL INTERFACE COMPONENT - A standardized 802.11 hardware control interface may be provided such that a driver may communicate with any one or more of a variety of network adapters. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110064012 | WIRELESS SUPPORT FOR PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER DEVICES - A portable media player device is capable of operating in a wireless network. The wireless portable media player device can bootstrap and synchronize with an ad hoc network with low power consumption. Neighbor portable media player devices in an ad hoc network can be discovered by the wireless portable media player device. The portable media player device can establish and terminate connections to neighbor portable media player devices. The portable media player device can transfer data in a high speed data transfer mode or a power save data transfer mode, while concurrently permitting discovery by other devices. The portable media player device operates in a power save mode during an inactive portion of a periodic discovery interval. | 03-17-2011 |
