20110158142 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR POWER MANAGEMENT IN AN AD HOC NETWORK - A method and system may transmit during a traffic indication window, such as an ATIM window, a frame indicating a power management mode and may then transition to the power management mode, possibly before the end of the traffic indication window. Another method and system may receive or transmit during a beacon interval an indicator of a desire to enter a sleep state, then transmit or receive an indicator of a desire to enter the sleep state, and then enter the sleep state prior to the end of the beacon interval. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 06-30-2011 |
20110158145 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO SUPPORT WIRELESS MULTICAST TRANSMISSION - A method and system may include a source station to provide wireless multicast transmission to a plurality of destination stations according to a protocol adaptation layer multicast management protocol. The protocol adaptation layer may lie above the MAC layer. The multicast management protocol includes formation, maintenance, and termination procedures. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 06-30-2011 |
20110158159 | EFFICIENT UPLINK SDMA OPERATION - According to various embodiments, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that allows an AP to efficiently poll various information from STAs belonging to a SDMA group. Each STA may transmit uplink frames using uplink SDMA mechanism. | 06-30-2011 |
20120008572 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR UPLINK MU MIMO SCHEDULING - According to various embodiments, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes receiving a field in a frame or a frame from the one or more STAs, wherein the field in a frame or the frame includes information on buffered traffic and a timeout value for a given access category (AC); and scheduling the one or more STAs to transmit uplink traffic simultaneously through a polling frame. | 01-12-2012 |
