| 20090059865 | Seamless Handover Method and System - The present invention provides a communication system for performing the seamless handover of a mobile station between at least a first wireless access point and a second wireless access point within wireless LAN. The mobile station is in the coverage of at least the first wireless access point for receiving and/or sending the data from and/or to the first wireless access point. The system comprises a first server for storing data from a data source; a switch for exchanging the data between the first server and the first and second wireless access points; and a second server coupled to the switch, for receiving the data from the first server via a switch when the mobile station roams from one access point to another one, and transferring the stored data to the mobile station through the switch after the roaming. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100135167 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIA ACCESS IN CONTENTION-BASED NETWORKS - A method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including determining a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect a priority. Further, a method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including receiving a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect a priority. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100135319 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEDIA ACCESS IN CONTENTION-BASED NETWORKS - A method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including determining a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect one of a priority and traffic patterns. Further, a method and apparatus are described for gaining access to a communication medium in a contention-based network, including receiving a slot count based on a number of stations in the contention-based network, adjusting the slot count, initiating a frame transmission when the slot count reaches a predetermined value and wherein said number of stations and an address queue are adjusted to reflect a priority. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100202405 | ACCESS NETWORK HANDOVER FOR A MOBILE TELEVISION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus are described for performing a handover in a content delivery system, including performing the handover from a first network to a second network at a protocol layer determined based on whether a content stream identification file used by said first network is paired with a content stream identification file used by said second network. Also described are a method and apparatus for performing a handover in a content delivery system, including performing the handover from a first network to a second network at a protocol layer determined based on whether a same content stream identification file used by the first network is used by the second network. Further described are a method and apparatus for performing a handover in a content delivery system, including performing the handover from a first network to a second network at one of an application layer, a network layer and a media access control layer. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100215021 | ACCESS NETWORK HANDOVER FOR A MOBILE TELEVISION SYSTEM - A method and apparatus are described for content delivery, including receiving content from a first network, moving into a coverage area of a second network, performing a handover, receiving content from the second network and dropping any duplicate content packets. Also described are a method and apparatus for content delivery including receiving content from a first network, performing a handover, receiving content from a second network, determining if any content is missing and requesting the missing content. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110007656 | DETERMINISTIC BACK-OFF METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS - A method and apparatus are described including identifying a channel that a decentralized network is using for communications and identifying a station that is a member of the decentralized network to monitor data transmission activity over the identified channel. Also described are a method and apparatus for a station to transmit data over a communication medium of a decentralized network including monitoring the communication medium, determining if the communication medium is idle, transmitting data if the communication medium is idle and if the station has a data to transmit and adjusting a slot count and a service ring configuration if the medium is busy. Further described are a method and apparatus including monitoring a communication channel used by a decentralized network, determining a number of available idle time slots between two successive frame transmissions initiated by different stations, updating a service ring, adjusting a number of stations and adjusting a slot count. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110007703 | RELAXED DETERMINISTIC BACK-OFF METHOD FOR MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL - A method and apparatus are described including transmitting data if a slot count is equal to a triggering event, selecting a new triggering event responsive to a failed data transmission and replacing the triggering event with the new triggering event. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110083035 | CELL DEPENDENT MULTI-GROUP HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST METHOD FOR MULTICAST IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A method and apparatus are described including determining address using an access point address and a multicast group address, transmitting a recovery request message to a recovery server to request recovery data using the address and receiving the recovery data from the recovery server. Also described are a method and apparatus including receiving a registration message, transmitting a reply to the registration message, receiving a recovery request message, transmitting recovery data responsive to the recovery request message and transmitting a message to a recovery multicast group to determine status of the recovery multicast group. | 04-07-2011 |
