20150038186 | MTC Device Communication Method, Device, and System - Embodiments of the present invention provide an MTC device communication method, device, and system. A second network element receives, a query message sent by a first network element after the first network element identifies that a type of a received short message is a preset-type short message. The query message comprises an identifier of a receiver of the short message and an identifier of a sender of the short message. The second network element checks whether the sender is authorized to send the preset-type short message to the receiver. The second network element sends a message to the first network element indicating whether or not to send the short message to the receiver. | 2015-02-05 |
20150038187 | ADDRESS SPACE PARTITIONING AND FILTERING FOR DISCRETIONARY WIRELESS CONNECTION RESPONSE - A system and method for providing wireless communications between a medical controller hub and an implant node are disclosed. The hub transmits signals to facilitate communication connections with the node. The signals include connection invitation polls with identification parameters. A node monitors the hub's transmissions for the connection invitation polls. When a poll is detected, the node compares the identification parameters to a list of preferred identification values. If the received identification parameter is on the preferred list, and the node and hub are not already connected, then the node responds to the connection invitation poll. If the received identification parameter is not on the preferred list, then the node continues to monitor hub transmissions for other connection invitation polls that include identification parameters that are on the preferred list. | 2015-02-05 |
20150038188 | Task Processing and Resource Sharing in a Distributed Wireless System - The present disclosure discloses a system and method for task processing and resource sharing in a distributed wireless system. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: identify a plurality of nodes in a distributed wireless system, each node of the plurality of nodes associated with a radio frequency neighborhood, the radio frequency neighborhood of one node including one or more other nodes that hear beacons from the one node; assign a task to the plurality of nodes; split the task into a plurality of subtasks; assign the plurality of subtasks to the plurality of nodes; receive a plurality of subtask processing results from the plurality of nodes; and combine the plurality of subtask processing results to generate a task processing result for the task. | 2015-02-05 |
20150038189 | Program for Adjusting Channel Interference between Access Points in a Wireless Network - The performance and ease of management of wireless communications environments is improved by a mechanism that enables access points (APs) to perform automatic channel selection. A wireless network can therefore include multiple APs, each of which will automatically choose a channel such that channel usage is optimized. Furthermore, APs can perform automatic power adjustment so that multiple APs can operate on the same channel while minimizing interference with each other. Wireless stations are load balanced across APs so that user bandwidth is optimized. A movement detection scheme provides seamless roaming of stations between APs. | 2015-02-05 |
20150038190 | POWER MANAGEMENT IN A CELLULAR SYSTEM - A method of controlling the respective transmit powers allocated by a base station of a cellular communications network to each of a plurality of sub-bands is provided. Information from at least one other base station of the network is received, the information comprising information about a sensitivity of a utility function in a cell served by the other base station to changes in powers allocated to respective sub-bands by the base station. A sub-band is identified in which it would be relatively advantageous to increase a transmit power. It is determined whether a factor relating to a happiness of users in the cell exceeds a threshold value. The transmit power in the identified sub-band is increased only if the happiness factor is less than the threshold value. | 2015-02-05 |
