A method and apparatus enables advanced signal processing in a wireless local area network (WLAN). First and second WLAN transceivers are provided with advanced signal processing capabilities. A maximum interframe period between data and an acknowledgement is required by the WLAN for compatibility. A duration of the interframe period is shorter than a duration that is required to perform the advanced signal processing. The first WLAN transceiver transmits a header and data. A first data field in the header is specified that enables the advanced signal processing. A second data field is specified that defines a data time period and an extension time period. The first WLAN transceiver transmits data during the data time period and dummy data during the extension time period. The second WLAN transceiver receives the header and initiates receiver processing during the extension time period.

Assignee:
Marvell International, Ltd. - Hamilton
International Classification:
H04J 3/24
US Classification:
370312, 709242
Abstract:
A wireless network according to the present invention includes a plurality of nodes that transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals. An access point broadcasts and receives radio frequency (RF) signals, wirelessly communicates with the plurality of nodes, generates a table containing a list nodes operating in the wireless network, and broadcasts the table to the plurality of nodes. The access point also calculates traffic conditions. A first node receives the table determines a hidden status of a second node in the table. The first node communicates directly with the second node if the second node has a not hidden status and communicates with the second node through the access point if the second node has a hidden status.

Assignee:
Marvell International Ltd. - Hamilton
International Classification:
G01R 31/08
US Classification:
370235, 370338, 370328, 455418, 4555501
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for a wireless local-area network comprises a transmit circuit to transmit first data; a transmit counter to count an amount of the first data transmitted by the transmit circuit during a predetermined monitoring interval; a receive circuit to receive second data; a receive counter to count an amount of the second data received by the receive circuit during the predetermined monitoring interval; and an adaptive access control circuit to generate an access trigger signal at a time determined by the amount of the first data counted by the transmit counter during the predetermined monitoring interval and the amount of the second data counted by the receive counter during the predetermined monitoring interval; and wherein the transmit circuit transmits third data according to the access trigger signal.

Extension Mode For Wireless Lans Compying With Short Interframe Space Requirement
A wireless station comprises a transmitter. A coding module communicates with the transmitter and generates a first packet including a first field that identifies one of a standard signal processing mode and an extension signal processing mode, a second field that selectively defines a data length based on one of a transmit time period for data of the first packet and the transmit time period plus an extension mode time period for performing the extension signal processing mode, and a third field that selectively comprises one of the data and the data and dummy data.
