COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150901 titled 'COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication device that can operate in two different modes:
- In the first mode, transmission and reception are performed independently over each frequency band.
- In the second mode, transmission or reception is performed simultaneously over each frequency band.
The communication device is designed to judge whether a predetermined condition for changing the communication mode is satisfied. If the condition is met, the device determines at least one frequency band to be used for communication in the new mode.
If the predetermined condition is satisfied while the device is communicating with another device using multiple frequency bands, the device determines multiple frequency bands for communication in the new mode based on the available frequency bands.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication devices
- Mobile phones
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Wireless routers
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient use of frequency bands
- Simultaneous transmission and reception over multiple frequency bands
- Seamless transition between communication modes
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved communication efficiency
- Enhanced data transfer rates
- Reduced interference
- Better utilization of available frequency bands
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication device communicates in a communication mode among a first mode, in which transmission and reception are performed independently over each of frequency bands, and a second mode, in which transmission or reception is performed simultaneously over each of the frequency bands. The communication device judges whether a predetermined condition pertaining to changing the communication mode is satisfied; and determines in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied at least one frequency band to be used for communication in the communication mode after the changing. In a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied while the communication unit is communicating with a first other communication device using each frequency band of a plurality of frequency bands, a plurality of frequency bands for performing communication in the communication mode after the changing is determined based on the plurality of frequency bands.
