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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155389 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: An access point (AP) receives a probe request frame from a station (STA) and sends a probe response frame back to the STA. The probe response frame includes information about multi-link communication based on the frequency band or channel specified in the probe request frame.

  • The access point (AP) receives a probe request frame from a station (STA).
  • The probe request frame contains information about the desired frequency band or channel for communication.
  • The access point (AP) determines the appropriate frequency band or channel for multi-link communication based on the information in the probe request frame.
  • The access point (AP) sends a probe response frame back to the station (STA).
  • The probe response frame includes capability information about multi-link communication corresponding to the selected frequency band or channel.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart home automation systems
  • Industrial automation and control systems

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently selecting the appropriate frequency band or channel for multi-link communication.
  • Providing capability information to the station (STA) based on the selected frequency band or channel.

Benefits:

  • Improved communication efficiency and performance.
  • Enhanced network connectivity and reliability.
  • Seamless integration of multi-link communication in wireless networks.
  • Optimized utilization of available frequency bands or channels.


Original Abstract Submitted

An access point (AP) receives, from another communication apparatus, a probe request frame from a station (STA), and transmits, to the STA, a probe response frame including capability information about multi-link communication corresponding to a frequency band or a frequency channel decided based on information about a frequency band or a frequency channel included in the received probe request frame.
