20140254387 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PACKET TRANSMISSION ALONG SHORTEST-PATH TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS - A system, method and apparatus arranged for efficient usage of network resources. Embodiments include nodes linked together, and the links having differing costs, e.g., bandwidth, frequency, and/or monetary cost, or any combination of these.

Next-hop-neighbors lie on the shortest path to any node, while non-next-hop-neighbors are nodes linked directly to a node, but the link is more costly than an alternative multi-hop path to the same node. Accordingly, embodiments may suppress packets to the non-next-hop-neighbors. | 09-11-2014 |
20140269267 | METHODS FOR DYNAMIC TRANSCEIVER RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN MULTI-TRANSCEIVER SYSTEMS - Embodiments of a system and method for managing transceiver resources in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a transceiver resource manager (MXRM) dynamically adapts the number of transceivers to an offered load. A node computes the number of transceiver it needs based on queue depth and queue usage. MXRM then shares the number of the transceivers to be requested, A, with next-hop neighbors. A node assigns X transceivers such that X is the maximum of their own A value and the highest A value they receive if they are next-hop targets. MXRM processes requests for additional transceivers from nodes and previous-hop neighbors such that the sender-receiver pair assigns a compatible number of transceivers. MXRM is also used to drive frequency assignments to increase capacity along the traffic flows. Therefore, MXRM adapts transceiver assignments to the traffic paths. | 09-18-2014 |
