20100188971 | Wireless Home Network Routing Protocol - A hierarchical wireless network is provided with a mesh backbone network portion and a switching tree network portion. The mesh backbone network portion includes first tier nodes each having at least one wireless link to another first tier node. The first tier nodes execute a link-state protocol for routing packets. The switching tree network portion includes second tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one first tier node and at least one wireless link to one third tier node, and third tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one second tier node. The second tier and the third tier nodes execute switching rules for switching packets. | 07-29-2010 |
20100190503 | INTERACTIONS AMONG MOBILE DEVICES IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - One embodiment of the disclosure sets for a method for synchronizing multiple mobile devices in a wireless network, which includes the steps of calculating a time interval for a first mobile device to respond to a request, receiving timing information of the first mobile device, determining a first offset associated with the first mobile device based on the time interval and the timing information, receiving a first data stream including the timing information of the first mobile device, and inserting a first dataset into the first data stream based on the first offset before transmitting the first data stream. | 07-29-2010 |
20100215024 | MOBILE PEER-TO-PEER CONTENT SHARING METHOD AND SYSTEM - Embodiment of the disclosure set forth methods for sharing data in a wireless network. Some example methods include storing in a database a content related information associated with a first mobile device, receiving a request for the content related information from a second mobile device, searching the database for the content related information, and transmitting a search result to the second mobile device to enable the transfer of content between the first mobile device and the second mobile device. | 08-26-2010 |
20100246398 | TCP EXTENSION AND VARIANTS FOR HANDLING HETEROGENEOUS APPLICATIONS - An extension to TCP is generally provided that allows TCP to handle heterogeneous applications, especially those with delay and smoothness-sensitive contents, and wireless transmission media having noisy, fading radio channels. The TCP extension decouples reliability control from rate control, sacrificing reliability for delay control (transmission rate and retransmission decision) that may be suitable for delay and smoothness-sensitive contents. Furthermore, the TCP extension may select TCP variants and modifications to the TCP variants based on one or more of application needs, channel conditions, or local observables such as loss and delay to better adapt to different types of applications and physical layers. | 09-30-2010 |
20120033577 | Wireless Home Network Routing Protocol - Techniques for a node in a wireless network to process packets are disclosed. An example method includes registering with a network-management system in the network to become a node in the network, determining neighboring nodes, measuring costs of wireless links to its neighboring nodes, measuring radio characteristic levels of the wireless links to its neighboring nodes, sending a link-state advertisement to the network-management system, the link-state packets providing its neighboring relationships and the costs of the wireless links to its neighboring nodes, receiving link weights from the network-management system, computing a routing table for a link-state routing protocol based on (1) the sum of the link weights and the radio characteristic levels for the corresponding wireless links to its neighboring nodes, and (2) a topology of the network, and processing the packets using the routing table. | 02-09-2012 |
