Abstract: Logic to “loosely” manage synch frame transmissions in a synch network via the devices synched to the network that implement the logic. Logic may distributedly adjust the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions without estimating the size of the neighborhood. Logic in devices of a synch network to let each device maintain a Transmission Window (TW). Logic to determine the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions based upon the TW. Logic to increase TW if the device detects a synch frame transmission. Logic to decrease TW if the device successfully transmits a synch frame. Logic to balance power consumption and discovery timing by adjusting the decrease in TW responsive to a synch transmission in relation to the increase in TW responsive to detection of a synch transmitted by another device.

Abstract: Embodiments describe mechanisms for an Access Point (AP) to aggregate multiple devices (e.g., stations (STA)) across frequency during a single time period. STAs will be considered for frequency aggregation only if they have a measured SNR at the AP below a threshold. Methods are described that select STAs for aggregation based on associated SNR and other criteria and then assign frequency slots to the selected STAs. Selection for aggregation and assignment to frequency slots can also be balanced across time, so that different STAs are selected for aggregation over time. Mechanisms are also described that increase the opportunities for frequency aggregation.
