CONTENTION-BASED CHANNEL ACCESS BASED ON DIFFERENT CHANNEL ACCESS REQUIREMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17455866 titled 'CONTENTION-BASED CHANNEL ACCESS BASED ON DIFFERENT CHANNEL ACCESS REQUIREMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, devices, and systems for energy detection based resolution in radio access technologies. Here are the key points:

• The invention focuses on wireless communication devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands.
• A first energy detection threshold (EDT) is used to identify transmission opportunities in the unlicensed frequency band.
• The wireless communication device detects another device with a second EDT, which is higher than the first EDT.
• Based on the detection of the second device with the higher EDT, the transmission configuration of the first device is modified.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication devices operating in unlicensed frequency bands, such as Wi-Fi routers and IoT devices.
• Enhancing the efficiency and reliability of communication in crowded unlicensed frequency bands.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Overlapping transmissions in unlicensed frequency bands can lead to interference and reduced performance.
• By detecting devices with higher energy detection thresholds, the invention helps in avoiding collisions and optimizing transmission configurations.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved overall performance and reliability of wireless communication devices.
• Efficient utilization of unlicensed frequency bands, reducing interference and maximizing throughput.
• Enhanced coexistence of multiple devices in crowded wireless environments.

Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for providing energy detection based resolution in radio access technologies. In one aspect, a wireless communication device may include a first energy detection threshold (EDT) to identify a transmission opportunity in an unlicensed frequency band. The wireless communication device may detect a second wireless communication device having a second EDT to identify the transmission opportunity, the second EDT being greater than the first EDT. The wireless communication device may, based on detection of the second wireless communication device having the second EDT, modify a transmission configuration of the first wireless communication device.
