TLDR
In this paper, the authors proposed a method that operates to receive information through at least one input of a protocol layer packet segmentation unit and dynamically vary packet segment size in accordance with the received information prior to transmission to a receiver.Abstract:
In one exemplary aspect thereof the invention provides a method that operates to receive information through at least one input of a protocol layer packet segmentation unit and to dynamically vary packet segment size in accordance with the received information prior to transmission to a receiver. The information received through the at least one input may include information related to channel quality for a channel through which packet data are transmitted to the receiver. The information received through the at least one input may also be or may include information received from at least one of a higher protocol layer or a lower protocol layer.read more

Methods and apparatus for determining, communicating and using information including loading factors which can be used for interference control purposes
TL;DR: In this article, a wireless terminal receives and measures broadcast reference signals, e.g., beacon and/or pilot signals, transmitted from a plurality of base station attachment points, and attempts to recover broadcast loading factor information corresponding to attachment points.
Patent
Method and system for path monitoring using segment routing
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system are disclosed for use of segment routing in monitoring of a network path, which includes selecting a plurality of segment identifiers and assembling the segment identifiers into a segment identifier stack, where the stack encodes a test path within the network for attempted routing of a test message.

Frame aggregation in wireless communications networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for aggregating multiple MSDU frames to be transmitted over a channel in a wireless network into a single frame was proposed, which can be transmitted on the channel to a receiving station.
Patent
Radio frequency communication network having adaptive communication parameters
TL;DR: In this article, a radio communication network is adaptive in that in order to compensate for the wide range of operating conditions, a set of variable network parameters are adapted for communication between transceivers in the network.
Patent
Power boosting in a wireless communication system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a power boosting scheme for transmission of a packet of data, which incorporates a power boost factor for each installment, on receipt of a negative acknowledgement after the power boosted portion of installments, transmission of the subpacket is terminated, and processing passed to a higher layer.

Adaptive MAC fragmentation and rate selection for 802.11 wireless networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for setting and adjusting MAC fragmentation threshold for IEEE 802.11 networks operating at different data rates is presented, where the fragmentation threshold is adjusted based on throughput performance, delay constraints and hidden node influence.
Patent
Packet size control technique
TL;DR: In this paper, a packet size control method allowing reduction in the period of time during which transmission is in a blocked state is disclosed, where the size of a packet to be sent is determined depending on a measured round trip time (RTT), a current bandwidth of the data link layer, and a current congestion window size.
