Abstract:
An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: receiving control information including a slot format indicator configured to indicate scheduled channel usage for time units, wherein the slot format indicator includes at least one indicator configured to indicate that simultaneous uplink and downlink communications are scheduled to occur on a shared channel in at least one of the time units; and determining a type of channel sensing to use prior to initiating an uplink transmission on at least a portion of the shared channel based, at least in part, on the control information, wherein determining a type of channel sensing to use comprises analysing the scheduled channel usage for, at least, the time unit in which the uplink transmission is scheduled to be initiated and the time unit before the time unit in which the uplink transmission is scheduled to be initiated.
Abstract:
This document discloses a solution for addressing network slices in a radio interface between a station and an access node. According to an aspect, the station is granted access to a network slice and, when transmitting a data frame of the network slice, the network slice is identified in the data frame by a medium access control address of the data frame.
Abstract:
A method comprising: determining, relative to a display, a point of view of a user of the display; controlling content displayed in the display in dependence upon the determination of the point of view of the user of the display.
Abstract:
Various methods are provided for facilitating the transmission of a proximity health alert from a device to other local devices upon a determination that a person is in need of help and that local, immediate help is sought. One example method may comprise performing a condition detection process resulting in a determination of whether help is needed, causing activation of a local wireless network interface in an instance in which the performance of the condition detection process results in a determination that help is needed, continuing to perform the condition detection process in an instance in which performance of the condition detection process results in a determination that help is not needed, performing a help request transmission process resulting in identification of a helper device, and causing transmission of additional information to the helper device.
Abstract:
A method comprises composing, by a wireless device in a wireless network, a service ID indicating support for providing proxy service discovery for other wireless devices operating in the wireless network; and transmitting, by the wireless device, a wireless service discovery frame to the wireless network, the service discovery frame including the composed service ID.
Abstract:
A method to manage of coexistence between infrastructure networks and peer-to-peer groups, including receiving, by a peer-to-peer wireless client device associated with a peer-to-peer wireless group owner device in a peer-to-peer wireless network, channel usage information of a wireless infrastructure network, from a wireless access point device managing the wireless infrastructure network; and transmitting, by the peer-to-peer wireless client device, the received channel usage information of the wireless infrastructure network, to the peer-to-peer wireless group owner device, as coexistence information.
Abstract:
This document discloses a solution for decoding frames received via multiple links. According to an aspect, a method for an apparatus of a wireless network includes: decoding at least a first part of a first frame received on a first channel; detecting, during said decoding the first part of the first frame, transmission of a second frame on a second channel; in response to said detecting, buffering at least a first part of the second frame, the first part of the second frame including duration information; after said decoding the first part of the first frame, decoding at least the first part of the second frame; updating, on the basis of the duration information, channel occupation information of the second channel; starting, based at least partly on the channel occupation information of the second channel indicating that the second channel not occupied, contention for channel access on the second channel.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising: transmitting an association request from a wireless device to a first access node of a wireless network for associating the wireless device to the wireless network, wherein the wireless network comprises a centralized unit and a plurality of access nodes, including the first access node, receiving an association response from the first access node for associating the wireless device to the wireless network, performing carrier sensing on a plurality of channels; selecting a second access node among the plurality of access nodes in response to obtaining a transmission opportunity for a channel of the plurality of channels, wherein the selecting is based at least partly on a record of ongoing transmission opportunities, and transmitting data from the wireless device to the second access node during the transmission opportunity.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for displaying messages by reducing a reflectivity of a display. A display, such as a smart mirror, provides reflective properties and digital information. The reflectivity of some portions of the display may be altered such that the display provides the visual effect of steam. By varying the reflectivity in different portions of the display, messages may be provided via the display so as to appear written in the steam. Trigger actions, such as a user entering the vicinity, the detected sound of miming water, and/or the like, may cause the visual effect of steam or display of the message. A user may provide a message by a hand gesture, or writing the message in the air and see the message at is provided via a display. Users may transmit messages to other users, and may view received messages in the display.
Abstract:
This document discloses a solution for determining distances. In the solution, a first frame is transmitted (200) to a second apparatus; a second frame is received (202) from the second apparatus, as response to the first frame; an indication of the duration between the reception time of the first frame and transmission of the second frame is received (204); an indication whether the duration is constant or variable is received (206); and in case the duration is constant, the distance between the first apparatus and the second apparatus is determined (208) based at least partly on the indication of the duration.
