    Abstract: A key to configure a wireless device includes a non-volatile memory to store network configuration information including a unique network identifier. A circuit coupled to the non-volatile memory manages the network configuration information. An interface communicates data including the network configuration information with the wireless device.

    Abstract: A Bluetoothpiconet (11) may be positioned proximate to a node (10) in a local are network and may operate in the 2.4 Ghz band, while a mitigating module (16) is responsible for mitigating interference and a physical layer (12) passes a receive signal strength indicator signal to the mitigating module and to a media access control (MAC) unit (14), also receiving status data from the mitigating module. This information is then provided wirelessly to other nodes to determine when to operate their own physical layer in order to reduce the likelihood of interfering with proximate piconets. Independent claims are included for a medium carrying processor instructions, for a transceiver and for a mitigating device.

    Abstract: A point coordinator in a wireless network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), may have the authority to control access to a channel by nodes in the network. The point coordinator may delegate the authority to a node in the network which requests access. The point coordinator may limit the extent of the delegation to a certain transaction or a predetermined amount of time.

    Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) device transmits a header over an air interface, at a first modulation rate. The header may include an indication of a second modulation rate that will be used to transmit a consolidated payload. In one embodiment, the header includes information that enables a receiver to determine when an end of each of the multiple data units will occur. The device further transmits the consolidated payload at the second modulation rate. The consolidated payload includes multiple data units. In one embodiment, the consolidated payload includes information that enables the receiver to determine when an end of each of the multiple data units will occur.

    Abstract: Two separate radio frequency networks (e.g. WLAN and Bluetooth) may be operated within interference distance from one another in a way which mitigates the possibility of interference. A device node receives a modulated noise signal and identifies a characteristic in the noise signal without demodulating the signal. The identified characteristic is used to identify the noise signal, (e.g. as a Bluetooth signal) and predict the behaviour of the signal without demodulating the signal. Being able to identify and predict the behaviour of the noise signal without demodulating the signal is useful as it removes the need for a complaint receiver, e.g. demodulation of a Bluetooth signal would require a Bluetooth complaint receiver. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal may be used and the timing and characteristics of the interfering signal may be determined, e.g. a Bluetooth signal includes a telltale repeat interval or pattern and information about the synchronization reference point and slot occupancy probability can be used to develop a statistics package that indicates a probability of transmission from the interferer at any given time. Each node in a network can transmit information about its local noise source to each of the other nodes in the network so that a first node wishing to transmit to a second node can use the information on the noise at the second node to determine the best transmission time.
