MEASUREMENT FOR SPACE REUSE IN MULTI-AP SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17801712 titled 'MEASUREMENT FOR SPACE REUSE IN MULTI-AP SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed at a wireless local area network (LAN) access point (AP) for requesting and receiving measurement information from a station (STA) in the network. The method involves transmitting a measurement notification frame to the STA, requesting measurement of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The AP then transmits a measurement request frame to the STA, requesting path loss information of an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) AP and the STA, as well as an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value. The AP receives a measurement report frame from the STA, which includes the path loss and ARIL values. Finally, the AP transmits data to the STA.
- The method involves requesting and receiving measurement information from a station in a wireless LAN network.
- The AP requests the STA to measure the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to gather information about the signal strength.
- The AP also requests the STA to provide path loss information and an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value.
- The STA sends a measurement report frame to the AP, including the path loss and ARIL values.
- The AP can then use this information to optimize the transmission of data to the STA.
Potential Applications
- This method can be used in wireless LAN systems to improve network performance and optimize data transmission.
- It can be applied in various settings such as homes, offices, public spaces, and outdoor environments where wireless LAN networks are used.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of inefficient data transmission in wireless LAN systems by requesting and utilizing measurement information from the STA.
- It addresses the issue of signal strength and interference levels by requesting path loss and ARIL values from the STA.
Benefits
- By requesting and utilizing measurement information, the method helps optimize data transmission and improve network performance.
- It allows the AP to make informed decisions based on the received measurement report, leading to better utilization of resources.
- The method helps mitigate the impact of signal strength and interference, resulting in a more reliable and efficient wireless LAN system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method performed at a sharing access point (AP) of a wireless local area network (LAN) system may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a first station (STA), a first measurement notification frame requesting measurement of a received signal strength indicator (RSSI); transmitting, to the first STA, a first measurement request frame for requesting a first path loss value which is path loss information of an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) AP andthe first STA and an acceptable receiver interference level (ARIL) value; receiving, from the first STA, a first measurement report frame including the first path loss and a first ARIL value of the first STA; and transmitting, to the first STA, first data.
