Methods and apparatuses enable sending a fast access request in a preamble of a random access request. The fast access request provides for an uplink assignment having bandwidth sufficient to allow the transmission of data with a scheduling request. The fast access request can indicate, for example, a traffic class of a message to be sent. Based on traffic class information, up to a certain additional amount of bandwidth can be allocated for a scheduling procedure for the requesting user device.

Random access request extension for an additional resource request

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for battery level based configuration of a mobile station by a base station. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Battery level based configuration of a mobile station by a base station

Device, system, and method of multi-level feedback. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes: an estimator to estimate a likelihood of correctly decoding an incoming encoded Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request packet of an incoming wireless communication signal by one or more decoders of the apparatus; and a transmitter to transmit a multiple-bit representation of the likelihood of correctly decoding the incoming encoded Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request to a device that transmitted the incoming encoded Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request packet.

Device, system, and method of multi-level feedback

Methods and apparatuses enable providing a dynamic, adaptive discontinuous reception (DRX) period based on available battery power of a mobile device. A mobile device can be assigned a DRX period based on a battery power level of the mobile device, and the assigned DRX period can be dynamically changed to reflect changes to the battery power level. In one embodiment, the mobile device initiates changes to the DRX period.

Adaptive DRX cycle length based on available battery power

Embodiments of methods and apparatus for selecting communication channels based on channel load information are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus for selecting communication channels based on channel load information

An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a transceiver capable of recovering from disjoint clusters in a mesh network by adding an additional Extended Service Set number (ESS Number) information element (IE) in the Beacon and Probe Response frames in at least one access point (AP) in said mesh network and all newly joining APs performing a scan of all channels to detect what channel the extended service set (ESS) is running on its ESS Number and putting this ESS number into their beacons Probe responses.

Apparatus, system and method capable of recovering from disjoint clusters in an mesh network

A method of operation in a communications device is disclosed. The method of operation includes obtaining interference information associated with a plurality of channels, including age of the interference information, and selecting one of the plurality of channels, based at least in part on the interference information and their age. Communications devices, subsystems, and systems equipped to operate in the above described manner are also disclosed.

Channel selection in a wireless network

Channels are selected for nodes in a wireless mesh network in a mananer that enhances connectivity and throughput in the network. For a node in the network, channel configurations are first identified that satisfy a predetermined connectivity constraint with respect to neighbor nodes of the node. A channel configuration is then selected from the identified configurations based on an achievable throughput of the configuration.

Channel selection for mesh networks having nodes with multiple radios

All-to-all communication is carried out in a wireless mesh network using a relaying packet that is routed through the network. In at least one embodiment, the relaying packet includes aggregated information that is made available to all nodes in the mesh network.

Method and apparatus for implementing all-to-all communication in a wireless mesh network

An embodiment selects one or more radio frequency parameters that may be optimal for a wireless network of access points and clients. Various methods, systems, and/or computer-readable media may implement operational embodiments.

Systems and methods of distributed self-configuration for wireless networks

Techniques and structures are provided to allow a wireless data device to operate within a wireless personal area network without the use of a centralized coordination function.
