20080219196 | INFRASTRUCTURE OFFLOAD WAKE ON WIRELESS LAN (WOWL) - Aspects of an infrastructure offload wake on wireless LAN (WOWL) are described. An aspect of the system may include a networked device, or station, which may communicate one or more filters to an infrastructure networking device. The infrastructure networking device may utilize the filters to perform pattern matching operations on frames or packets received from the network for delivery to at least the station while the station is in an inactive, or low-power, state. When pattern matching operations performed at the infrastructure networking device indicate receipt of a frame or packet on behalf of the inactive station, which matches at least one of the filters, the infrastructure networking device may store an indication value. The indication value may denote receipt of at least one frame or packet that matched at least one of the filters, which were communicated to the infrastructure networking device by the station. | 09-11-2008 |
20080239988 | Method and System For Network Infrastructure Offload Traffic Filtering - Aspects of a method and system for network infrastructure offload traffic filtering are disclosed and may include a networked device, or station, which may communicate one or more filters to an infrastructure networking device. The infrastructure networking device may utilize the filters to implement filtering rules upon traffic received by the infrastructure networking device on behalf of the station. Based on the filters, the infrastructure networking device may determine whether to transmit received traffic to the station via a network, or whether to discard received traffic. The infrastructure networking device may perform traffic shaping based on the filters. | 10-02-2008 |
20110314525 | Method and System for Exchanging Setup Configuration Protocol Information in Beacon Frames in a WLAN - Certain aspects of a method for enabling exchange of information in a secure communication system may comprise configuring at least one 802.11 client station via authentication enablement information comprising data that specifies a time period during which configuration is allowed. The data that specifies a time period during which configuration is allowed may comprise a configuration window open field, which indicates a period when a configuration setup window is open. At least one client station may be configured via the authentication enablement information comprising recently configured data, which indicates whether at least one configurator has configured at least one other client station within the time period during which the configuration is allowed. | 12-22-2011 |
20120026916 | Method and System for Transporting Configuration Protocol Messages Across a Distribution System (DS) in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) - Aspects of a method and system for transporting configuration messages across a DS in a WLAN are presented. Aspects of a method for enabling communication of information in a secure communication system may comprise configuring a wireless client station located in a client network based on configuration information received from a configurator. The configurator is located in a configurator network that is located external to and communicatively coupled to the client network. Aspects of a system for enabling communication of information in a secure communication system may comprise a configurator located in a configurator network that is located external to and communicatively coupled to a client network. The configurator configures a wireless client station located in the client network based on configuration information transmitted by the configurator to the wireless client station. | 02-02-2012 |
20120184313 | Method and System for Medium Access with Reduced Power Consumption for Constrained Wireless Devices - A first wireless communication device may be operable to communicate with one or more other wireless communication devices to schedule access to a medium that is shared by the first wireless communication device and the one or more other wireless communication devices. After one or more medium access periods are scheduled for the first wireless communication device, the first wireless communication device may transmit data onto the medium upon receiving a medium reservation message which designates the first wireless communication device during the one or more medium access periods scheduled for the first wireless communication device. One or more portions of the first wireless communication device may be configured to operate in a first mode during medium access periods scheduled for the first wireless communication device, and configured to operate in a power-saving mode at times other than the medium access periods scheduled for the first wireless communication device. | 07-19-2012 |

20130282883 | MINIMUM INTERVENTION AUTHENTICATION OF HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES (MIAHNT) - Methods and systems for enabling communication of information within a network are disclosed herein and comprise receiving at a first communication device located within a network, configuration information from a network service provider for configuring a plurality of communication devices located within said network. The first communication device located within the network can be configured based on at least a portion of the received configuration information. In response to a user input at a second communication device located within the network, at least a portion of the received configuration information can be communicated from the first communication device to the second communication device located within the network. The network service provider can be coupled to the first communication device via a wired connection. The network can comprise a wireless network. | 10-24-2013 |
20140022949 | CLIENT CONFIGURATION DURING TIMING WINDOW - Certain aspects of a method for enabling exchange of information in a secure communication system may comprise configuring at least one 802.11 client station via authentication enablement information comprising data that specifies a time period during which configuration is allowed. The data that specifies a time period during which configuration is allowed may comprise a configuration window open field, which indicates a period when a configuration setup window is open. At least one client station may be configured via the authentication enablement information comprising recently configured data, which indicates whether at least one configurator has configured at least one other client station within the time period during which the configuration is allowed. | 01-23-2014 |
20140098956 | SIMPLE PAIRING TO GENERATE PRIVATE KEYS FOR DIFFERENT PROTOCOL COMMUNICATIONS - An integrated circuit radio transceiver and associated method comprises a multi-mode device operable to support personal area network communications as well as traditional wireless local area network communications. In one embodiment, IEEE 802.11 protocol IBSS communications are used to transport Bluetooth communication data packets. In another embodiment, a direct link comprising direct packet transfers without beaconing is performed between the multi-mode device and another multi-mode device. Thus, the multi-mode device is operable to establish traditional BSS communications with an Access Point in addition to establishing peer-to-peer communications with another multi-mode device to transport the Bluetooth communications over the 802.11 IBSS communication link or over an IEEE 802.11 direct communication link. | 04-10-2014 |
