Throughput as a function of signal-to-noise ratio and distance of the four transmission techniques used in the IEEE802.11b wireless local area network. Effect of interference from Bluetooth transmissions in office and residential environments.

A new scheme in which a Bluetooth device stores address and clock information about other devices with which it communicates frequently. Establish connections to these devices with lower delay and lower energy consumption than Bluetooth now requires.

Adjust transmission rate, packet length, and forward error correcting code rate to maximize the throughput of a modem in white Gaussian noise and channels with and without fading. Implications for rate adaptation as a function of distance in a wireless system.

Adjust transmission power to maximize total weighted throughput in the uplink of a CDMA base station. Advantages and disadvantages of aiming for equal received power from different transmitters.

Mathematical optimization of several figures of merit of wireless communications systems based on the sigmoidal nature of Quality of Service measures.

Use a cellphone to store voicemail. Transmit stored mail to a server and receive mail from the server as data files in order to conserve battery energy and reduce cellular network congestion.

Optimize power levels, transmission rates, and packet length in a CDMA system with simultaneous transmissions of data and media signals.
