Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing data to a mobile device from multiple access points are described. The system may include multiple access points (APs) in communication with each other to form a network of APs. The network of APs may include a logical AP (LAP) that is discoverable as an individual physical access point by a mobile device, even though the LAP may be a logical construction involving multiple physical APs that communicate with the mobile device. The system may synchronize operations within the network of APs for effective and efficient data transmissions. The mobile device may request a data connection from the LAP or from an individual AP, wherein the data connection is between at least two APs. The data connection may have a throughput/bandwidth exceeding the maximum capacity of individual APs. The LAP may manage connections between the APs and connections between the mobile device and the APs.
Abstract:
An electronic device has a first and second radio, each being compatible with at least two wireless local area network (LAN) standards and one or both being compatible with at least one wireless personal area network (WPAN) standard. The electronic device includes a radio control arrangement that establishes mutually non-interfering communication links between (i) one or both of the first and second radio and (ii) at least two remote devices within a wireless LAN that includes the electronic device and the at least two remote devices. The at least two remote devices include at least one network access point and at least a second electronic device; the mutually non-interfering communication links including a network communication link between the first or second radio and the access point, and a peer-to-peer communication link between the first radio or the second radio and the second electronic device.
Abstract:
A mobility module receives sensor data from one or more sensors and determines the movement of type of movement of a user device, based on the sensor data. Based on the movement or rate of movement, the mobility module transitions the user device to a mobility state. The user device evaluates the power levels of radio signals from neighbor base stations using one or more measurement parameters that are scaled of offset based on the mobility state.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for preventing a user device from exceeding a transmit power budget when a presence of an object is detected are described. A user device detects a presence of object that absorbs electromagnetic radiation, and in response to detection of the human body part, the user device determines a remaining amount of a transmit power budget of the user device, and calculates an amount of data that can be transmitted without exceeding the remaining amount. The user device transmits the second data at the specified transmit power level according to the calculated amount of data.
Abstract:
A method for customizing a device during order fulfillment is described. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag of an electronic device is wirelessly loaded with customization information at an order fulfillment center without disturbing packaging surrounding the electronic device or without powering up the electronic device.
