Title: Improved contention mechanism for access to random resource units in an 802.11 channel
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2016-02-29
Abstract: In an 802.11ax network with an access point, or Wireless Local Area Networks WLAN, a trigger frame offers random resource units RU to nodes for data uplink communication to the access point. The nodes access the random RUs using a contention scheme based on a contention window size CWO, in order to transmit data. To dynamically adapt the contention scheme used by the nodes, each of them updates its own CWO depending on a success or failure in transmitting the data in an accessed random RU. For instance, local CWO may be doubled in case of previous data transmission failure, while it is set to a minimum value CW0min (such as equal to the number of random RUs in the received trigger frame) in case of success.

Title: Wireless communication unit and method for sharing delay tolerant content
Inventor: TIMOTHY JAMES SPEIGHT
IPC: H04W88/10
Filed: 2016-03-17
Abstract: A wireless communication unit 300 receives content over a cellular network 321 from a network server using a conventional client server mechanism and converts the received content into a bundle format that can be transmitted into a delay tolerant network (DTN). The wireless communication unit stores the bundle formatted content. The bundle formatted content is extracted and transmitted to at least one wireless mobile communication unit using a short-range wireless communication technology. A status of the data content may be managed by the wireless communication unit and new data content may be downloaded in bundle format if new data content is available from the network server. The status of the data content may be a list of DTN networks, bundles and versions. The status of the data content may relate to services available in an opportunistic network and a list of services available in an opportunistic network may be maintained. A second embodiment includes a network node that manages content associated with a list of services that are downloaded to a wireless communication unit and converted into bundles for distribution in an opportunistic network.

Title: Software-updating method for a wireless communication network
Inventor: Ville Juven
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2018-03-28
Abstract: In a wireless communication net­work (fig.1 100) comprising radio nodes (fig.1 102, 104, 106, 108, 650) the nodes are configured to receive 222 a software-distribution package e.g. an over-the-air firmware update. The method of the invention comprises, at the first node, sending a timer frame 228 to a second node indicating when all nodes of the network are to execute the re­ceived package in order to update software on the nodes. Each node then sets an update timer according to the timing information in the timer frame 230, and indicates successful reception 232, so that it can execute the new package 236 at the same time as other nodes. If a node(s) does not report reception of the timer frame, the timer value can be reset and new timing information redistributed 233 until it can be deduced that all nodes have the correct information. The method synchronises the moment when new software is executed on the nodes after distribution, ensuring that all nodes start using it at the same time and are therefore using the same version. The new software therefore does not have to be backwards compatible with previous versions thus eliminating the need for legacy software support.
