The method device and system comprises affecting power control over air time request packets transmitted by respective station units from among the plurality of STAs towards one of the one or more access points, so that all air time request packets are received at said access point at substantially the same Signal to Noise Ratio (“SNR”), and wherein said power control does not affect packets carrying payload data that proceeds the air time request packets transmitted by the respective station units. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130142186 | WIRELESS NETWORK AND ACCESS POINT FOR A WIRELESS NETWORK - Embodiments related to Wireless Networks and access points for a Wireless Network are described and depicted. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130142187 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SCANNING A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FREQUENCY BAND - Device, system, and method of scanning a wireless communication frequency band. Some embodiments may include scanning a set of channels of a wireless communication frequency band to detect a wireless area network, the scanning including setting a scanning duration to a duration of a beacon interval, scanning a channel of the set of channels for the scanning duration, if a packet is detected over the channel, monitoring the channel for up to a predefined time period, which is longer than the scanning duration, to receive a beacon frame; if no beacon frame is received over the channel, scanning another channel of the set of channels for the scanning duration; and if, after scanning all channels of the set of channels, no beacon frame is received, increasing the scanning duration and repeating the scanning using the increased scanning duration. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130142188 | WIRELESS NETWORK HOST IN SILENT MODE - An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks. | 2013-06-06 |
| 20130142189 | DIRECT LINK SETUP PROCEDURE IN TUNNELED DIRECT LINK SETUP WIRELESS NETWORK AND STATION SUPPORTING THE PROCEDURE - Provided are a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) establishment procedure for a TDLS initiator and a station supporting the establishment procedure. In the establishment procedure, a requesting Non-AP QSTA transmits a TDLS setup request frame via an access point (AP) to an intended peer Non-AP QSTA. And, the requesting Non-AP QSTA receives a TDLS setup response frame via the AP from the intended peer station in response to the TDLS setup request frame. And, the requesting Non-AP QSTA transmits a TDLS setup confirm frame via the AP to the intended peer station in response to the TDLS setup response frame. | 2013-06-06 |
