Abstract: A startup process of an access point (AP) includes a discovery phase and an announcement phase. During the discovery phase, the AP detects neighboring APs from its own extended service set (ESS), neighboring APs from different ESSs, and external sources of interference. During the announcement phase, the AP transmits its beacon signals at maximum power in order to accelerate recognition by neighboring APs running the discovery phase. An automatic initialization channel selection process of an AP scans channels the AP will use to communicate. Information of each scanned channel is recorded and a best performance channel is determined for use by the AP.

Abstract: A radio resource management (RRM) entity which increases the capacity of a mesh network including a plurality of mesh points (MPs) and a plurality of mesh portals is disclosed. A discovery phase is performed in the mesh network such that, for each MP, the mesh network has access to information which provides a ranking of the available mesh portals and MP next-hops, and related routing metrics for each individual MP in the mesh network. A preferred mesh portal is assigned to each of the MPs in the mesh network. Each MP scans, collects, and reports channel-based measurements of all available channels. Channels are assigned to each of the mesh portals. Channels are also sequentially assigned to the MPs.

Abstract: In a wireless communication system, (e.g., a wireless local area network (WLAN)), including a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) and a coordinating node, (e.g., an access point (AP)), path loss is estimated by transmitting a loud packet from a first one of the WTRUs to a second one of the WTRUs. The coordinating node transmits a loud packet generation request message. A first one of the WTRUs receives the loud packet generation request message and transmits at least one loud packet at a transmission power specified by the loud packet generation request message. Optionally, the first WTRU transmits a loud packet generation response message. A second one of the WTRUs receives the loud packet and determines a path loss between the first WTRU and the second WTRU by subtracting the signal strength of the loud packet from the determined transmission power of the loud packet.

Abstract: The method involves sending a deferral management capabilities request message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to report deferral management capabilities of an access point (AP). A deferral management capabilities indicator message is sent to the AP in response to the deferral management capabilities request. A deferral management parameter set message is sent to the WTRU to indicate values for setting deferral management parameters. A deferral management parameter set execution confirmation message is sent to the AP in response to the set message. An independent claim is also included for a wireless local area network (WLAN) comprising an access point (AP).

Abstract: A method for radio resource management (RRM) in a wireless local area network (WLAN) having an access point and a station begins by obtaining a first group of parameters from a current traffic channel. Measurements from all available channels are taken for a second group of parameters. The radio resources of the WLAN are autonomously managed by selectively invoking at least one RRM algorithm that uses at least one parameter. A RRM algorithm may be invoked based upon results produced by a previously executed RRM algorithm, whereby RRM algorithms may be continuously invoked such that the radio resources are autonomously managed.

Abstract: A method (100) for accelerating discovery of access points (APs) in a wireless local area network begins by transmitting an advertisement packet by an AP via at least one channel other than a channel on which the AP transmits beacon signals. The advertisement packet is received by a station (STA), which then determines whether to associate to the transmitting AP. The advertisement packet can include reassociation information, such that the STA can associate to the AP based on the information in the advertisement packet, or timing information, such that the STA can tune to the AP and receive the AP's beacon without dwelling on the AP for an extended period of time.

Abstract translation: 用于加速在无线局域网中的接入点（AP）的发现的方法（100）通过AP之外的至少一个信道发送广告包开始，该信道除了AP发送信标信号之外的信道之外。 广播包由站（STA）接收，该站然后确定是否与发送AP相关联。 广告包可以包括重新关联信息，使得STA可以基于广告包中的信息或定时信息与AP相关联，使得STA可以调谐到AP并且接收AP的信标而不在AP上驻留 一段较长的时间。

Abstract: A wireless communication method and system for optimizing channel selection for an AP. The channel selection optimization process includes four sub-processes: 1) a measurement process; 2) a candidate channel determining process; 3) a channel selection process; and 4) a channel update process. Candidate channels used for supporting communication performed by the AP are determined. The candidate channels are chosen from an allowable channel set (ACS) if a detected interference of each candidate channel is less than an established maximum allowed interference.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate wireless communications between a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), legacy base stations and base stations using different operating parameters, such as evolved high speed packet access (HSPA) systems Third Generation Partnership Project ((3GPP) Release 7, Release 8 and beyond). Preferred WTRUs are configured with a medium access control (MAC) sub-layer component having a subcomponent with HARQ buffers, such as a subcomponent configured to provide MAC-es and MAC-e functionality and/or MAC-is and MACi functionality that include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes, some of which are preferably operable with enhanced dedicated transport channels (E-DCH). The WTRUs are preferably configured such that they reconfigure their MAC subcomponents during soft handover while minimizing induced latency and data losses associated with HARQ processes. In some embodiments, the WTRUs are configured to prevent flushing of HARQ process buffers in soft handover scenarios with a Node B that does not support UL enhancements, e.g. higher order modulation (HOM). In other embodiments, flushing of HARQ processes is used but amelioration of adverse effects is addressed.
