Abstract: A wireless communication system implements a calibration mode by which individual nodes in the system can determine which other nodes in the system are physically close to them and therefore can be reached with less than full transmitting power. Nodes which can communicate with one another via low power can form a low power constellation (a subset of the complete network) whose nodes can communicate directly with one another using this low power arrangement. The direct communication mode may additionally be used by itself. In another mode, the nodes in the system can communicate amongst themselves via bridges—other, non-access point nodes—to lessen the load on the access point or to accommodate environmental or other conditions. Various ones of these modes may be combined into a predetermined cycle of communication modes to help the physical layer accommodate various types of data handled by the network using beacons or another coordinating technique. Overhead in the form of packet retransmission may be reduced by interpolating to recover lost packets rather than retransmitting them.

Abstract translation: 无线通信系统实现校准模式，通过该校准模式，系统中的各个节点可以确定系统中的哪些其他节点物理上靠近它们，并且因此可以以小于全发射功率到达。 可以通过低功率彼此通信的节点可以形成低功率星座（完整网络的子集），其节点可以使用该低功率布置彼此直接通信。 直接通信模式可以另外自己使用。 在另一种模式下，系统中的节点可以通过桥接器（其他非接入点节点）之间进行通信，以减轻接入点上的负载或适应环境或其他条件。 这些模式中的各种可以组合成通信模式的预定周期，以帮助物理层适应网络使用信标或其他协调技术处理的各种类型的数据。 可以通过内插来恢复分组重传的形式来恢复丢失的分组，而不是重传它们。

Abstract: A cable has miniaturized, low-cost, highly-integrated wireless network access points embedded in the cable at periodic intervals along the length of the cable. Power conductors that run the length of the cable supply each of the access points with electrical power. Each access point has an antenna for receiving and transmitting radio signals. The antenna of an access point is encapsulated, along with the rest of the access point circuitry, underneath an insulating protective outer sheath of the cable. The cable includes conductors that are usable for a purpose other than deploying a wireless network. When the cable is physically installed (for example, in the wall or ceiling of a building) for the other purpose, the access points are simultaneously physically installed. The access points so installed can then be activated and used as part of a wireless network.
