US 8121074 B1Abstract
A device includes a first transmit circuit to transmit first data, a first receive circuit to receive second data and an adaptive access control circuit to calculate a transmit delay interval based on a first amount of the first data transmitted by the transmit circuit during a predetermined monitoring interval and a second amount of the second data received by the receive circuit during the predetermined monitoring interval. The first transmit circuit transmits third data based on the transmit delay interval.
This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/902,299, filed Jul. 29, 2004. The disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to wireless data networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to adaptive multiple access techniques for wireless networks.
In general, in one aspect, the invention features a method, apparatus, and computer-readable media for wireless local-area network. It 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.
FIG. 1 shows a network device in communication with a wireless network according to a preferred embodiment.
Embodiments of the present invention employ adaptive techniques to determine the timing of transmissions to a wireless network. In particular, the timing of transmissions by a wireless network device to a wireless network are determined according to the amount of data the wireless network device transmits and receives, as described in detail below.
