20140247820 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTIVE ATTENUATION OF PREAMBLE RECEPTION IN CO-LOCATED WI FI ACCESS POINTS - A method and system for attenuating a received preamble in an IEEE | 09-04-2014 |
20140293869 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CO-LOCATED AND CO-CHANNEL WI-FI ACCESS POINTS - A wireless communication system may include a first transceiver co-located with a second transceiver. The first and second transceivers may be configured to transmit data to at least one user equipment, according to a collision sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. A processor may identify data transmission from the second transceiver and allow data transmission from the first transceiver simultaneously with data transmission from the second transceiver, on one frequency. | 10-02-2014 |
20140313986 | DEVELOPING TRANSMISSION GAPS FOR CALIBRATION PROCESSING - A plurality of co-located beamforming transceivers may transmit data to at least one user equipment according to a collision sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. The plurality may include a first and a second beamforming transceiver. The first beamforming transceiver may request a calibration signal from the second beamforming transceiver. A processor or transceiver may identify a transmission gap between the user equipment and the plurality of beamforming transceivers. The second beamforming transceiver may transmit a calibration signal during the transmission gap to the first beamforming transceiver. | 10-23-2014 |
20140334312 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL CANCELLATION SCHEME WITH MULTI-BEAM - A method and system may include a plurality of collocated access points (APs), each coupled to, and operating independently with, a respective set of antennas, wherein the antennas are directional and oriented to create beams that cover different directions, for dividing a coverage of the APs into a plurality of subsectors, wherein the antennas further comprise transmit antennas and receive antennas separated from each other, wherein the APs operate with a limited number of channels, wherein two or more of the subsectors share a common channel, wherein the APs are configured to initiate a transmission by employing collision sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), wherein the antennas are configured to enable simultaneous operation of each of the subsectors without impairing operation of the others, and wherein a radio frequency (RF) energy reception between the transmit antennas and the receive antennas is configured to prevent independent subsector operation because of the CSMA/CA. | 11-13-2014 |
20150016438 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS CO-CHANNEL ACCESS OF NEIGHBORING ACCESS POINTS - A system and method for overriding Carrier-Sense-Multiple-Access/Collision-Avoidance (CSMA/CA) and virtual carrier sense, without harming the traffic that occupies the channel is described herein. Further provided herein are measurements and qualifying criteria for performing the aforementioned channel sharing. The system and method may be based, for example, on opportunistic spatial isolation of nodes from each other and selectively implementing ultra-fast link adaptation. | 01-15-2015 |
20150049680 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CO-LOCATED AND CO-CHANNEL WI-FI ACCESS POINTS - A wireless communication system may include a plurality of co-located transceivers. The plurality of transceivers may be configured to transmit data to at least one user equipment, according to a collision sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol. A processor may receive a signal preamble and a sender address of the signal preamble and determine whether the sender address is included in the stored list of addresses. If the sender address is included in the stored list of addresses, the processor may allow simultaneous data transmission from two or more of the co-located transceivers. | 02-19-2015 |
20150071270 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING AN OCCUPIED WI-FI CHANNEL BY A CLIENT USING A NULLING SCHEME - A method and system for overriding Carrier-Sense-Multiple-Access/Collision-Avoidance (CSMA/CA) without harming the traffic that occupies the channel are provided. The system and method may include for example detecting at a communication node having a plurality of antennas, a preamble transmitted by a co-channel neighboring node operating in compliance with IEEE 802.11 standard within a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of the communication node; and setting uplink transmit weights of the antennas of the communication node, to isolate the communication node from the neighboring node after the neighboring node has transmitted the preamble, to allow the communication node to access the co-channel, by keeping a transmitted signal level of the communication node as received by the neighboring node, below the CCA signal level at one or more of the antennas of said neighboring node. The system may for example implement the method in software running on a baseband processor. | 03-12-2015 |
20150131752 | WI-FI RADIO DISTRIBUTION NETWORK STATIONS AND METHOD OF OPERATING WI-FI RDN STATIONS - A Wi-Fi radio distribution network (RDN) station is provided for use in a wireless communications network comprising a plurality of wireless stations. The Wi-Fi RDN station comprises a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) receiving system configured to operate in accordance with a channel estimation MIMO receiving scheme; and a RDN connected to the MIMO receiving system. The RDN comprises at least one beamformer arranged to be fed by two or more antennas, wherein each of the beamformers includes a combiner configured to combine signals coming from a plurality of antennas associated with the respective beamformer into a single signal. The MIMO receiving system is configured to perform one or both of channel estimation using a single antenna or beamforming. Both channel estimation and beamforming may be based on one or more packets addressed to one or more wireless stations in the communications network other than the Wi-Fi RDN station. | 05-14-2015 |
