20130303202 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PAGING MESSAGE ENHANCEMENT - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for paging message enhancement, for example, by allowing packets to accumulate in an access point before sending them to a station. In some implementations, a station may not have an immediate use for a packet waiting in an access point's buffer. The station may save energy and reduce medium occupancy by allowing packets to accumulate at the access point and then receiving the accumulated packets in accordance with certain criteria. Such criteria for accumulation may be based on a Quality of Service (QoS) category, the station address, or the station type. The station may set accumulation parameters, such as a maximum occupied buffer size or a maximum time for which a station's packets are delayed for accumulation. | 11-14-2013 |
20130336196 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SIMPLIFIED STORE AND FORWARD RELAYS - Systems, methods, and devices for communicating data in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, a relay provides relay services for network communication between a first station and a second station. In one aspect, the relay may receive data packets sent to the second station by the first station, and retransmit the data packets if it determines that the second station has not acknowledged the data packet. In one other aspect, the first station may be configured to transmit a relay-able acknowledgement that includes a sequence number identifying data being acknowledged. The relay may be configured to receive a transmission of a first relay-able acknowledgement by the first station and retransmit a second relay-able acknowledgement if it determines the second station did not receive the first relay-able acknowledgement sent by the first station. In some aspects, the second station is an access point. | 12-19-2013 |
20140050133 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOW POWER WAKE UP SIGNAL AND OPERATIONS FOR WLAN - Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication. In one aspect an apparatus for wirelessly communicating with a wireless station is provided. The apparatus comprises a first transceiver configured to receive a backoff signal from the wireless station during a first time period, the backoff signal configured to indicate a second time period. The apparatus further comprises a processor operationally coupled to the first transceiver and configured to refrain the first transceiver from transmitting a wireless signal during the second time period. | 02-20-2014 |
20140161126 | SECURITY FOR PACKETS USING A SHORT MAC HEADER - Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for applying security to packets, for example, packets utilizing short MAC headers. | 06-12-2014 |
20140177614 | BLOCK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SELECTION RULES - Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for selecting a type of block acknowledgement. | 06-26-2014 |
20140195882 | ADDITIONAL ERROR PROTECTION FOR WIRELESS TRANSMISSION - Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for enhancing error protection for wireless transmissions. | 07-10-2014 |
