- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a plurality of wireless systems sharing a communications medium (i.e., co-existing) in accordance with an example embodiment.
- a first wireless network 100 includes a centralized MAC layer within a host 101, which illustratively operates according to a TDMA protocol.
- the host 101 services a number of devices 102 according to the chosen TDMA protocol.
- the first network 100 is a WLAN, a wide area network (WAN) or mobile telephone network
- the devices 102 are computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistant (PDA) , or similar device that typically operates in such networks.
- the devices 102 may communicate bilaterally; and the host 101 and devices 102 may communicate bilaterally.
- communication from one device 102 to another device 102 is not direct; rather such communications pass through the host 101, which then transmits the communications (using known scheduling methods) to the correct recipient device 102.
- MAC layer protocols communication from one device 102 to another device 102 is not direct; rather such communications pass through the host 101, which then transmits the communications (using known scheduling methods) to the correct recipient device 102.
- MAC layer protocols communication from one device 102 to another device 102 is not direct; rather such communications pass through the host 101, which then transmits the communications (using known scheduling methods) to the correct recipient device 102.
- MAC layer protocols communication from one device 102 to another device 102 is not direct; rather such communications pass through the host 101, which then
- a second network 104 is at least partially located within the range 103 of the first network 100.
- the second network is illustratively, but not necessarily, mobile, having been established within the range of the first network.
- the devices 105, 106 may communicate bilaterally with one another.
- the second network 104 may be one of a number of protocols and includes a distributed or centralized MAC layer.
- the second network may function under one of a number of protocols, illustratively those referenced in connection with the embodiments of the first network 100.
- the second network 104 comprises first devices 105 and second devices 106.
- the first and second devices 105 and 106 may be distributed MAC devices.
- First devices 105 are located within the range 103, and devices 106 are outside the range 103.
- first device 105 moves outside the range 103 it becomes a second device 106 of the second network 104; and if a second device moves within the range
- first device 105 it becomes a first device 105 of the second network 104. It is noted that there may be more or fewer of first devices 105 and second devices 106 than are shown. Finally, like the devices of the network 100, the first and second devices 105,
- the second network 104 is a distributed or centralized network, in which at least one of the devices 105 is adapted to communicate with function under the MAC layer of the centralized network 100. To wit, and as will become clearer as the present description continues, at least one of the devices 105 will request service from the host 101, and inform other devices 105 of the receipt of an acknowledgement (ACK) from the host 101. Finally, this device 105 will command the other devices 105 to enter a non-communication (sleep) mode until the time slot for their communication designated by the host 101. It is emphasized that in accordance with an example embodiment, a plurality of distributed networks may share the same medium.
- a third network 107 which is a distributed or centralized network, includes devices 108 within the range 103 of the first network 101, and a device 109 outside the range 103.
- This device may include the same types of devices and may function according to protocols discussed in connection with the second network 104.
- the third (and any additional distributed networks) share the same medium with the first network 101 by reserving it own time slot within each desired service interval . It is noted that a function of the third network 107 within the common medium as the first network 101 is substantially the same as that described in connection with second network 104.
- Fig. 2a is a timeline 200 in accordance with the example embodiment, and is best understood when reviewed in conjunction with the illustrative embodiments of Fig. 1.
- the host 101 of the first (centralized) network 100 sends a beacon 201.
- the beacons define the beginning of a service interval.
- the beacon 201 is received within the range 103 of the network, and upon receipt by the devices 102, requests for service are made by the devices 102.
- the host 101 then sends an ACK to each device designating the time slot (commencement time and duration) it has been granted for servicing by the host 101.
- this servicing includes the communication between the host 101 and the particular device 102, as well as communication between the particular device 102 and another device 102 of the network.
- this process continues while one or more of the devices remain in the range 103 of the host 101.
- another beacon 201 is transmitted indicating the commencement of a second service interval 206.
- certain devices 102 of the first network are granted slots 207 and 208, while the second network 104 is granted its slot 209.
- a beacon 201 there may be a plurality of successive service intervals, each of which commences with a beacon 201.
- the order and quantity of the time slots of Fig. 2a are merely illustrative.
- additional slots may be included in each service interval, and the second network may be granted additional time slots (not shown) within the same service interval.
- all communication from one device 102 to another is routed through the host 101, and the host may retain the data/voice from the transmitting device 102 until the service interval with the other device 102 of the network is initiated.
- one of the devices 105 of the second network 104 negotiates with the host 101 of the first network 100 for allocation of a time slot in a particular service interval. For example, in the time line of the example embodiment of Fig. 2a, the time slot 202 of the first service interval 203 is allocated to the second wireless network 104, which may be distributed or centralized. The other time slots 204 and 205 shown are reserved by selected devices 102 of the first network 100.
- the negotiation for a time slot between a device 105 of the second network with the host 101 follows the rules of the TDMA protocol used in network 100.
- the device 105 transmits the 'results' of the negotiation and the commencing time and duration of the time slot assigned to the rest of devices 105 and 106 in the second network 104.
- the devices 105, 106 of the first network 104 communicate with one another under the guidelines of the governing MAC protocol.
- a wide variety of MAC protocols may be used.
- the devices 105, 106 of second network 104 may function under one or more MAC protocols.
- the rules defined by the MAC layer of the second network 104 apply during the time slot 202.
- the requested slot duration of the slot 202 by the second network 104 may vary depending on the MAC protocol (s) used in this distributed second network. For example it may be useful to request a slot duration that it is a multiple of a service (beacon) interval used in the second network 104. This may increase efficiency and facilitate the operation in the distributed network.
- Fig. 3 shows a timeline showing the non-operational times 301 of the second network 104.
- the non-operational times 301 are recognized by the devices 105 and 106 during which the second network 104 must be inactive in order to prevent collisions with transmissions from the devices 102 of the first network. These non-operational times are set by the device (s) 105 that negotiate the cohabitation co- existence of the second and first networks during the initial handshake. To wit, the device 105 transmits the time slot for the second network and simultaneously sets the non- operational time slots 301 with each of the other devices 105, 106. According to this technique of an example embodiment, the devices 105 and 106 of the second network 104 are on notice that a certain period of time cannot be used for operation.
- the time 301 can be marked as busy by device 105 following several protocols, including the NAV virtual protection defined in IEEE 802.11, slot allocations of TDMA protocols, etc...
- the various methods and devices described herein can be implemented in hardware and software known to achieve sharing of a medium between a centralized wireless network and at least one other distributed wireless network within the range of the centralized wireless network. Further, the various methods and parameters are included by way of example only and not in any limiting sense. In view of this disclosure, those skilled in the art can implement the various example devices and methods in determining their own techniques and needed equipment to effect these techniques, while remaining within the scope of the appended claims.
