20090323570 | Techniques for management of shared resources in wireless multi-communication devices - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology, and wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware components by limiting access to the air to one comm only at given time by designating one comm that owns the shared hardware components as a primary comm and all other comms are secondary comms, wherein the primary comm allows the secondary comms to use the shared hardware components when it is in an idle-state but when the primary comm returns from the idle state, it claims ownership of the shared resources and the secondary comms release the shared resources. | 12-31-2009 |
20090327767 | Techniques for distributed management of wireless devices with shared resources between wireless components - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology using distributed management and wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware components by automatically turning all other comms to OFF when one comm is turned to ON. | 12-31-2009 |
20100111053 | Techniques for enhanced network discovery - An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising retrieving a first network scan while connected to a second network access point (AP), without actually accessing the air, by the AP sending a message to “Get first network base station (BS) list” to devices in communication with the AP and operable to communicate in the first and the second networks, merging by the AP all answers from the devices to provide a list of all base stations (BS's) in the AP's vicinity, and querying the AP by other devices for the network BS list. | 05-06-2010 |
20100329230 | Avoiding beacon conflicts in multi-radio platforms - In a multi-radio platform that operates in two networks, both the announced beacon intervals and the actual beacon intervals in one network may be periodically increased and decreased in defined amounts so that the beacons will not overlap scheduled communications with the other network. The determination of how much and how often to adjust these beacon intervals may be based, at least partially, on the minimum increments in which the beacons intervals are permitted to be adjusted, and on the scheduled communications intervals of the other network. | 12-30-2010 |
20120057552 | TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGEMENT OF SHARED RESOURCES IN WIRELESS MULTI-COMMUNICATION DEVICES - An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a network adapter configured for wireless communication using more than one technology, and wherein the network adapter is configured to share a plurality of shared hardware components by limiting access to the air to one comm only at given time by designating one comm that owns the shared hardware components as a primary comm and all other comms are secondary comms, wherein the primary comm allows the secondary comms to use the shared hardware components when it is in an idle-state but when the primary comm returns from the idle state, it claims ownership of the shared resources and the secondary comms release the shared resources. | 03-08-2012 |
20120120929 | TECHNIQUES FOR AUTONOMOUS WIRELES NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE ASSISTED LOCATION RESOLUTION - An embodiment of the present invention provides a method to resolve a location of nodes operating in a wireless network, comprising using a wireless network infrastructure of the wireless network to determine the location of the nodes by each location aware node distributing location information within the wireless network such that each node may learn its location directly from the infrastructure of the network. | 05-17-2012 |
20120120944 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MULTI-RADIO COEXISTENCE - A method for coexistence radio communication systems is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a realtime frame synchronization signal and receiving one or more frame parameters. The method further includes determining, based at least on the frame synchronization signal and the frame parameters, estimated frame timing information and scheduling transmission based on the estimated frame timing information to avoid collision of the transmission and reception. | 05-17-2012 |
20120249300 | DETERMINATION OF LOCATION USING RSSI AND TRANSMIT POWER - In various embodiments, the location of a wireless communications device may be found by determining the distance to at least one other communications device whose location is known. Each distance may be determined by examining the transmit power and received signal strength indicator for a transmission from that device. Triangulation techniques may be used to convert multiple distances from multiple devices into a location. | 10-04-2012 |
20140020123 | ALWAYS-AVAILABLE EMBEDDED THEFT REACTION SUBSYSTEM - A platform protected by an always-available security system to protect against platform loss and platform theft is described. The system comprises, in one embodiment, a pairing logic to pair the platform with an other device, the other device reached via a network connection, an interface to detect when the proximity to the other device is lost. The system further comprises, in one embodiment, the arming logic to arm the platform in response to the loss of proximity, and move the system to an armed mode, and a core logic to evaluate the risk behavior and determine whether a security action logic should take a security action. | 01-16-2014 |
20140310428 | INTRA-PLATFORM NETWORKING - Technologies for communicating with local components of a computing device include intercepting a name resolution request from a host application, resolving a hostname included in the name resolution request to obtain a network address assigned to a target destination of the network packet, and transmitting the network address to the host application in response to the name resolution request. Such technologies may also include receiving the network packet from the host application destined for the network address, determining, whether the target destination of the network packet includes a local component of the computing device based on the network address, and transmitting the network packet to the local component of the computing device via a platform network in response to the network packet being destined for the local component of the computing device. | 10-16-2014 |
