COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD FOR COORDINATED SERVICE PERIODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18257073 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION METHOD FOR COORDINATED SERVICE PERIODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes communication devices and methods for Coordinated Service Periods (SPs).
- The first aspect of the invention is a first Access Point (AP) that includes circuitry to generate a request frame indicating a request to set up one or more Coordinated SPs, and a transmitter to transmit the request frame to a second AP.
- The second aspect is a non-AP STA that includes a receiver to receive a Beacon frame or an Action frame from its associated AP, circuitry to extract information of coordinated SPs from the frame, and a transmitter to transmit a request frame to the AP indicating a request to join the SPs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart home automation
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Efficient utilization of network resources
- Improved coordination among devices

Original Abstract Submitted
Communication devices and methods for Coordinated Service Periods (SPs) are provided. The first aspect provides a first Access Point (AP) comprising: circuitry, which in operation, generates a request frame indicating a request to setup one or more Coordinated SPs; and a transmitter, which in operation, transmits the request frame to a second AP. The second aspect provides a non-AP STA comprising: a receiver receives a Beacon frame or an Action frame from its associated AP, circuitry extracts information of coordinated SPs from the frame and a transmitter, transmits a request frame to the AP indicating a request to join the SPs.
