    Abstract: A method of providing power management in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is presented. The method includes receiving a Traffic Indication Map (TIM) at a station, indicating the presence of buffered frames, associated with any AC, for the station at an Access Point (AP). The method further includes sending, by the station, one of an uplink data frame if one is buffered, and a null frame to retrieve the buffered frames from said AP. The station remains awake to receive frames from the AP until a downlink frame is received containing an indication that it is the last frame to be transmitted in the service period. The method may further include determining at the end of service period whether there are more frames remaining buffered for the station at the AP.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for avoiding exposed nodes in Wireless local Area Networks is presented. The method includes maintaining at a node a first timer (NAV_RTS) for a channel which, if set, prevents the node from authorizing a transmission on the channel to itself and maintaining at the node a second timer (NAV_CTS) for the channel which, if set, prevents the node from transmitting on the channel. The method further includes updating the NAV_RTS when a transmission request (CC-RTS) frame is received having a reservation duration value greater than zero and greater than a current value of the NAV_RTS, and updating the NAV_CTS when a transmission response (CC-CTS) frame is received having a reservation duration value greater than zero and greater than a current value of the NAV_CTS.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for preventing occurrences of the hidden node problem are presented. A transmission request (CC-RTS) is received from a source node, the CC-RTS frame including a reservation duration value indicating the length of time needed for a transmission reservation. A timer is adjusted for the period other nodes must refrain from transmitting on the channel (NAV) equal to a duration of a transmission request/transmission response (CC-RTS/CC-CTS) handshake. When the CC-RTS has been denied, then a second CC-RTS frame is received having a reservation duration value of zero, and when the CC-RTS is accepted then the NAV is extended to remainder of the reservation duration value of the original CC-RTS frame. The CC-RTS and CC-CTS are sent at a more robust PHY mode than traffic frames.
