20120287914 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS SERVICE TO A COLLECTIVE OF REMOTE UNITS BY A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK - A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides wireless service to a collective comprising multiple remote units (RUs) by use of a collective association identifier (AID) assigned to, and shared by, the multiple RUs. The WLAN then uses the collective association identifier AID to identify transmissions of common data to the multiple remote units. Furthermore, the WLAN provides for a serving AP to store, for the collective as a whole, shared data rather than individually storing such data in association with each remote unit (RU) in the collective. The WLAN further provides for RUs to establish a link with their serving AP in order to exchange data sourced by, or intended for, their associated non-RF service provider, and for the AP then to establish a separate AP-to-service provider link to exchange the data, rather than the RU being required to establish an end-to-end link with the service provider. | 11-15-2012 |

20140177472 | METHODS AND APPARTUS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN DIFFERENT PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION GROUPS - Methods and apparatus for transmitting data between different peer-to-peer communication groups are disclosed. A wireless device determines if it is simultaneously connected to a plurality of peer-to-peer communication groups and instantiates a bridge interface at the wireless device (e.g., TRILL RBridge) for communications between each peer-to-peer communication group. The wireless device also determines if it is simultaneously connected to at least one peer-to-peer communication device and an access point. In such an instance, the wireless device determines if the access point also includes a bridge interface. If the access point does not include a bridge interface, the wireless device instantiates/runs the bridge interface at the wireless device for communications between the at least one peer-to-peer communication device and the access point. If the access point does include a bridge interface, the wireless device causes the bridge interface at the access point to be instantiated for communications between the at least one peer-to-peer communication device and the access point. | 06-26-2014 |
20140269465 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALERT MESSAGE RECEPTION - A method can include connecting to a wireless local area network access point. The method can include receiving an enhanced broadcast indication message of a plurality of enhanced broadcast indication messages that indicate a delivery time and an identifier of a future broadcast message. The method can include scheduling a time to receive the future broadcast message after a future beacon based on information in the enhanced broadcast indication message. | 09-18-2014 |
20140269483 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALERT MESSAGE RECEPTION - A method can include collecting public warning system messages that are to be transmitted over a wireless local area network. The method can include identifying one or more public warning system messages of the collected public warning system messages as a message relevant to a service area of the wireless local area network. The method can include transmitting the one or more identified public warning system messages over the wireless local area network via group transmission, where the group transmission transmits the identified public warning system message to a group of recipients using group addressed messages. | 09-18-2014 |
20140273909 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALERT MESSAGE RECEPTION - A method can include operating on a cellular network. The method can include receiving, from the cellular network, a public warning system message at a user equipment. The method can include detecting an available alternate network with internet protocol connectivity, where the alternate network is an alternate to cellular networks. The method can include delaying switching operation from the cellular network to the available alternate network for a predetermined period of time after receiving the public warning system message. The method can include switching operation from the cellular network to the available alternate network after delaying switching operation. | 09-18-2014 |
20140273910 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALERT MESSAGE RECEPTION - A method can include communicating with a base station of a cellular network. The method can include establishing a data connection with an alternate network with internet protocol connectivity, where the alternate network is an alternate to cellular networks. The method can include requesting, over the alternate network, public warning system messages based on a cellular public warning system message protocol, where the requested public warning system messages are identified as public warning system messages sent by the base station. | 09-18-2014 |
20140280585 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING SERVICE INFORMATION IN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION GROUPS - Methods and apparatus for transmitting service information in a neighborhood of peer-to-peer communication groups are disclosed. A peer-to-peer client device connects to a peer-to-peer communication group via a peer-to-peer group owner. The peer-to-peer client generates a service notification including a category and a sub-category and transmits the service notification to the first peer-to-peer group owner. The first peer-to-peer group owner then forwards the service notification (a) to a first group member that is associated with the category and the sub-category, and (b) to a second group member that is identified as a first bridge and is associated with the category. | 09-18-2014 |
