Abstract: The present invention discloses a wireless LAN system and a signal collision avoidance method for the wireless LAN system, which can avoid the collision of signals between a wireless LAN system initiating communication at fixed intervals and a wireless LAN system initiating communication after waiting for the vacancy of a channel. According to the present invention, when it is recognized that there is a no signal section between a downlink phase and an uplink phase upon scheduling of a communication frame, a scheduler part 6 performs scheduling for putting a NAV setup signal, which covers the no signal section, behind the downlink phase in accordance with instructions from a NAV setup signal generating part 8, and transmits the same. It can prevent any station in an IEEE802.11a wireless LAN system from transmitting data in the no signal section, and hence avoid the collision of signals within the period of the uplink phase.

Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting a memory page-closing policy for computer systems employing various types of DRAM memory partitioned into one or more memory banks, and circuitry for implementing the method. In general, the method comprises monitoring memory accesses to memory banks and dynamically adjusting the memory page closing policy for those memory bank based on locality characteristics of its memory accesses so that memory latencies are reduced. In one embodiment, in response to memory requests from a computer system processor, memory accesses to the DRAM memory are made on a page-wise basis. As each memory page is accessed, a page-miss, page-hit or page-hit state is produced. Depending on the page access states, which generally will reflect the locality characteristics of (an) application(s) accessing the memory, a page-close set point is adjusted. When a timing count corresponding to the page exceeds the page-close set point, the memory page is closed.
