COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054498 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communication apparatus that can participate in two different communication networks simultaneously. It determines whether to transition to a lower power state based on the time period between receiving two frames of data. If the apparatus receives a second frame from a different communication apparatus after receiving the first frame, it will transition to the lower power state.

  • The communication apparatus can participate in two different communication networks at the same time.
  • It determines whether to transition to a lower power state based on the time between receiving two frames of data.
  • If it receives a second frame from a different communication apparatus after receiving the first frame, it will transition to the lower power state.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in devices that need to communicate with multiple networks simultaneously, such as smartphones or IoT devices.
  • It can be applied in scenarios where power consumption needs to be optimized, such as in remote sensors or battery-powered devices.

Problems Solved

  • The communication apparatus solves the problem of efficiently managing power consumption while participating in multiple communication networks.
  • It addresses the challenge of transitioning between different power states based on the timing of data frames received.

Benefits

  • The apparatus allows for efficient communication in multiple networks while minimizing power consumption.
  • It optimizes the use of resources by transitioning to a lower power state when there is no immediate need for communication.
  • The technology extends the battery life of devices and improves overall energy efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus configured to perform, in parallel, a function for participating in a first communication network to perform communication and a function for participating in a second communication network to perform communication determines whether to transition to a second state after receiving a first frame based on a time period from when the communication apparatus receives the first frame to when the communication apparatus receives a second frame, in a case where the communication apparatus operates while transitioning between a first state and the second state, the second state being a state in which power consumption is lower than in the first state, and in a case where the communication apparatus receives the second frame from a second other communication apparatus after receiving, in the first state, the first frame from the first other communication apparatus.
