A signal structure for use in D2D communications is described. In one embodiment, a preamble for automatic gain control at the receiver end is included in the transmitted signal. Techniques for scheduling of D2D transmissions using carrier sensing multiple access (CSMA) and a power control schemes for interference management are also described.

In some embodiments, the invention involves information routing in networks, and, more specifically, to defining a framework using swarm intelligence and utilization of the defined framework for routing information in the network, especially for cloud computing applications. In an embodiment, information about available information/services is pushed to network nodes using information packets (ants). Nodes requiring services send query packets (ants) and a node may send a response to a query ant when information is available. Ants may be forwarded throughout the network based on popularity of nodes, freshness of information/requests, routing table information, and requests or interest by consumer nodes captured in information routing table. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments may comprise logic to determine whether a value of a network allocation vector indicates that the apparatus is blocked from transmitting on the medium; logic to transmit a first clear to send packet at a first power level in response to determining that the apparatus is not blocked from transmitting on the medium, the first clear to send packet comprising a flag or bit to indicate the Shading Transmission Starts (STS); logic to receive a second clear to send packet after transmitting the first clear to send packet; and logic to transmit a first data transmission at a second power level after receiving the second clear to send packet, the second power level being less than the first power level.

Enabling coexistence of high-density and low-density transmissions

Embodiments of computer-implemented methods, systems, computing devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for device-to-device on-demand advertisement. In some embodiments, the method may include receiving a request for broadcasting an advertisement by a device-to-device (D2D) advertiser via a D2D communication protocol, requesting that an evolved NodeB (eNB) associated with the D2D advertiser allocate a resource for broadcasting the advertisement by the D2D advertiser, determining that the broadcasting the advertisement is no longer needed, and requesting that the eNB retrieve the allocated resource. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Embodiments of a base station and methods for allocating uplink bandwidth using SDMA are generally described herein. In some embodiments, uplink bandwidth request messages are received on a bandwidth request contention channel from one or more subscriber stations. The uplink bandwidth request messages are generated by the subscriber stations by modulating pilot subcarriers of a randomly selected disjoint pilot pattern with a randomly selected orthogonal sequence. The base station allocates uplink bandwidth to the subscriber stations when the uplink bandwidth request messages are successfully detected and decoded. The base station uses an SDMA technique to determine channel responses based on the orthogonal sequences to detect and decode the uplink bandwidth request messages.

Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to enable coexistence of high-density and low-density transmissions with a modified CSMA protocol. Embodiments include a self-CTS (self clear to send) packet transmission prior to transmission of a ready to send (RTS) signal when initiating a high density transmission amidst legacy devices. In many embodiments, the self-CTS or the RTS includes a network allocation vector (NAV) having a value for the duration of the transmission. In some embodiments, the self-CTS may include a flag or bit to indicate the Shading Transmission Starts (STS).

Disclosed in some examples is a method performed by a relay station, the method including receiving at a relay station a data packet transmitted from a base station to a subscriber station; receiving a non-acknowledgement (NACK) message transmitted from the subscriber station to the base station in response to the data packet; receiving resource allocation information transmitted from the base station to the subscriber station; and transmitting, in response to the received NACK message at the transmission time, the data packet to the subscriber station in a resource allocation allocated for a retransmission of the data packet from the base station to the subscriber station, wherein the resource allocation is determined from the resource allocation information.

Device, system, and method of adjusting channel utilization for wireless transmission. For example, a wireless communication unit may control a wireless transmission by a wireless communication device during a contention period, wherein the wireless communication unit is to wait for a back-off period prior to beginning the wireless transmission during the contention period, and wherein a duration of the back-off period is based on a transmission power of the wireless transmission. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, computer-readable media and system configurations for stochastic power management of one or more computer systems. A method may include ascertaining a workload of a plurality of computer systems (e.g., a data center). Additionally or alternatively, a method may include initiating, by a control module operated by a processor of a first of the plurality of computer systems, a stochastic power management process to manage power consumption of the first of the plurality of computer systems. The stochastic power management process may be conditionally initiated based at least in part on the ascertained workload of the plurality of computer systems. The stochastic power management process may include a plurality of virtual machine management actions having corresponding probabilities being taken, one or more of which may result in power savings. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
