Title: Enhanced management of ACs in multi-user EDCA transmission mode in wireless networks
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2016-10-21
Abstract: To avoid blocking node Access Category (AC) queues in the Multi-User Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (MU EDCA) mode due to regular OFDMA transmission of data from another AC queue in resource units provided by an Access Point (AP), a dedicated HEMUEDCA timer is used for each AC queue, in order for them to be able to exit the MU EDCA mode independently of the other AC queues. In this respect, upon successfully transmitting data stored in two or more traffic queues, in each of one or more accessed resource units provided by the AP, the node sets each traffic queue transmitting in the accessed resource unit in the MU EDCA mode for a predetermined duration counted down by a respective timer associated with the transmitting traffic queue. Next, upon expiry of any timer, the node switches back the associated traffic queue to the conventional EDCA mode. A counter initializing value for the timers is sent in a beacon frame from the AP.

Title: System for connecting between risers of composite material and flowlines, which can be used with a hybrid riser, and method for constructing same
Inventor: RAFAEL MACHADO GUIGON DE ARAUJO
IPC: F16L1/26
Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: The present invention applies to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, being represented by a direct connection system, known as an LRTA_Lower Riser Termination Assembly_ (15), between risers (9) made from composite material and horizontal lines installed on the seabed (flowlines) 13. The developed system can be used with a hybrid riser (1), and the method for constructing same makes it possible, inter alia, to reduce costs and to optimize system assembly/installation time. The disclosed LRTA connection system (15), offers, as one of its main advantages, the fact that it can be used not only with rigid flowlines but also with flexible flowlines without the need for any section/equipment for making an intermediate connection between flowlines and risers. A further significant feature of the disclosed system is that the way in which it is constructed allows free vertical expansion of the risers over the entire structure. In addition to the advantages and technological advances achieved with the disclosed connection system, the method for constructing same is also seen to be innovative as compared with known, prior art systems. Although, in the prior art, conventional methods require a large area for assembly and construction, in the construction method developed for the present system the necessary area is significantly reduced, being approximately 10 times smaller than the extent required for known construction methods.
