In a wireless communication network having a plurality of devices operating at different data rates that contend for access to the network, an apparatus is provided that assigns network access parameters so as to control throughput on the network.

Throughput in multi-rate wireless networks using variable-length packets and other techniques

In a wireless communication network having a plurality of devices operating at different data rates that contend for access to the network, a method is provided that assigns network access parameters to one or more of the devices so as to control throughput on the network. Examples of network access control parameters are the maximum data packet size and the contention window size. Generally, the network access control parameter for slower data rate users is configured so that they do not occupy the network a disproportionate amount of time compared to faster data rate users.

Interference mitigation or collision avoidance systems and procedures to allow different wireless local area network (WLAN) communication protocols to co-exist in the same frequency band, such as an unlicensed frequency band used for short-range wireless communications. The procedures ensure substantial throughput of information carried by signals of each WLAN protocol while preventing collisions between signals of different protocols.

Systems and methods for interference mitigation among multiple WLAN protocols

A wideband radio transceiver system that features a wideband RF section and a flexible and scalable baseband signal processing section. The transceiver system architecture has configurable baseband processing to process signals for multiple communication protocol standards, or multiple instances of the same communication protocol standard, that operate over the same frequency band. Optional additional features include a transmit carrier suppressor and transmit interference canceller to suppress the effects of a transmit signal on receive signal processing when signals are being transmitted and received simultaneously.
