RATE AND ANTENNA SELECTION USING SINGLE TXOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850715 titled 'RATE AND ANTENNA SELECTION USING SINGLE TXOP

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for improving Wi-Fi communication by using multiple antennas and feedback. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves a probing Wi-Fi device obtaining a transmit opportunity (TXOP) on a Wi-Fi channel.
  • The probing Wi-Fi device then transmits a probe packet to a receiving Wi-Fi device using a first antenna during the TXOP.
  • First feedback is received in response to transmitting the probe packet with the first antenna.
  • The probe packet is then transmitted again from the probing Wi-Fi device to the receiving Wi-Fi device, but this time using a second antenna during the TXOP.
  • Second feedback is received in response to transmitting the probe packet with the second antenna.
  • Based on the feedback received, the probing Wi-Fi device sets the transmission parameters and selects the antenna to use.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improving Wi-Fi performance and reliability in various environments, such as homes, offices, public spaces, and industrial settings.
  • Enhancing wireless communication in IoT (Internet of Things) devices, allowing for more efficient data transmission and connectivity.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming limitations of single-antenna Wi-Fi devices, such as signal interference, weak reception, and limited coverage.
  • Addressing the need for adaptive transmission parameters and antenna selection to optimize Wi-Fi communication in dynamic environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved Wi-Fi signal strength, range, and overall performance.
  • Enhanced reliability and stability of wireless connections.
  • Increased data transfer rates and reduced latency.
  • Better adaptability to changing Wi-Fi conditions and interference.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an example, a method includes obtaining, in a probing Wi-Fi device a transmit opportunity (TXOP) on a Wi-Fi channel. The method also includes transmitting a probe packet from the probing Wi-Fi device to a receiving Wi-Fi device during the TXOP with a first antenna. The method includes receiving first feedback responsive to transmitting the probe packet with the first antenna. The method also includes transmitting the probe packet from the probing Wi-Fi device to the receiving Wi-Fi device during the TXOP with a second antenna. The method includes receiving second feedback responsive to transmitting the probe packet with the second antenna. The method also includes setting, by the probing Wi-Fi device, a transmission parameters set and a selected antenna based at least in part on the first feedback or the second feedback.
