CHANNEL PUNCTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455414 titled 'CHANNEL PUNCTURING

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes methods, devices, and systems for transmitting and receiving information about puncturing events and operating band switches between an access point (AP) and one or more stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS). The transmission and reception of this information may use non-legacy elements specifically designed to provide details about these events.

• The patent application focuses on transmitting and receiving information about puncturing events and operating band switches in a BSS.
• Non-legacy elements are used to provide this information, ensuring compatibility with newer technologies.
• The methods, devices, and systems described in the application aim to improve communication and coordination between APs and STAs.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Smart home systems
• Industrial automation systems

Problems Solved

• Lack of efficient communication and coordination between APs and STAs in a BSS
• Difficulty in transmitting and receiving information about puncturing events and operating band switches
• Incompatibility issues with legacy elements in transmitting and receiving this information

Benefits

• Improved communication and coordination between APs and STAs
• Enhanced efficiency in transmitting and receiving information about puncturing events and operating band switches
• Compatibility with newer technologies and non-legacy elements

Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting and receiving, between an access point (AP) and one or more stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS), an indication of a puncturing event. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the puncturing event. In certain aspects, the disclosure provides methods for transmitting and receiving, between the AP and one or more STAs, an indication of an operating band switch. In some examples, the transmitting and receiving may use non-legacy elements configured to provide information about the operating band switch.
