20100061335 | Method and System for the Reduction of Scanning Time While Roaming - Described are systems, methods, and devices used for reducing scanning time while communicating between wireless mobile computing devices within a wireless communications network. The method includes the following step(s): receiving communication data from one or more APs within a network, the communication data being specific to each of the one or more APs and transmitting the communication data to an MU within the network. The MU is associated with a first AP and the MU associates with a second AP based on the communication data as the MU roams to the second AP. The method further includes the steps of: associating, by an MU, with a first AP within a network, receiving communication data from the first AP, the communication data including information specific to each of one or more further APs, and associating with one of the further APs based on the communication data. | 03-11-2010 |
20140105061 | Method and System to Configure Network Devices - A method includes determining, for a particular time period, a scheduled location for a device based on a schedule corresponding to a user of the device. The method further includes configuring a set of network devices, that have a signal coverage area which includes the scheduled location, such that a first subset of the network devices is configured for connecting with the first client device during the particular time period and a second subset of network devices is configured for not connecting with the first client device during the particular time period. | 04-17-2014 |
20140269370 | Dynamic Beamforming Configuration Based on Network Conditions - A method includes steering client devices to access points that potentially increase capacity of communications using beamformed transmissions. In particular, this includes determining the best access points for beamforming to a particular client or a group of clients in the network for an improved throughput performance in the deployment or a subset of access points. | 09-18-2014 |
20140274112 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A LOCATION OF WIRELESS DEVICE - A system for (a) determining a first direction from a first device toward a second device based on a first set of WiFi® wireless signals received by at least one antenna of the first device from the second device, (b) determining a second direction from a third device toward the second device based on a second set of WiFi® wireless signals received by at least one antenna of the third device from the second device, and (c) based at least on a first location of the first device, the first direction from the first device toward the second device, a second location of the third device, and the second direction from the third device toward the second device: determining a third location of the second device. | 09-18-2014 |
20150120910 | METHOD FOR DYNAMIC LOAD BALANCING IN CAMPUS DEPLOYMENTS - A method is described for dynamically assigning tasks to entities of different types within a network system based on preferences to perform the tasks on particular entities and/or network/device conditions. This ability to dynamically assign processing of tasks between disparate devices in a network system provides a more efficient network configuration and utilization of resources while not compromising throughput, overall network security, and/or network flexibility. | 04-30-2015 |
20150222562 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT FRAME AGGREGATION - The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for efficient frame aggregation. Specifically, a network device queues a first set of packets until one of the first set of aggregation limits is detected. The network device then transmits the first set of packets, and receives feedback information. Then, the network device modifies the first set of aggregation limits to obtain a second set of aggregation limits based on the feedback information. The network device queues a second set of packets until one of the second set of aggregation limits is detected, and then transmits the second set of packets. Also, the network device determines whether a received packet has a particular characteristic. If so, the network device transmits the first set of packets before at least one of the first set of aggregation limits is detected. | 08-06-2015 |
20150312835 | DISTRIBUTED RADIO MANAGEMENT - The present disclosure discloses a distributed radio management system that is capable of dynamically tuning a radio antenna to a particular radio frequency channel and/or radio frequency band. The disclosed network device includes a transceiver, an antenna, and a component on a wireless signal path between the transceiver and the antenna. The component includes functionality to dynamically switch between processing signals corresponding to a first radio frequency band and processing signals corresponding to a second radio frequency band. Moreover, the component also may include functionality to dynamically switch between processing signals and refraining from processing wireless signals that are received by the component. | 10-29-2015 |
