- Improved network performance
- Enhanced reliability of data transmission
- Optimal channel utilization
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application could be:
- Integration into Wi-Fi routers for improved network efficiency
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be:
- Dynamic frequency selection in wireless networks
Unanswered Questions
How does the device prioritize between multiple idle secondary channels?
The patent application does not specify the criteria for selecting a secondary channel when multiple options are available.
What impact does the use of secondary channels have on overall network throughput?
The document does not discuss the potential trade-offs in network throughput when utilizing secondary channels for packet transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to single-radio multi-channel medium access. A device may detect that a primary channel is occupied by a transmission of a first packet by a neighboring station device in an overlapping basic service set (OBSS). The device may detect that a secondary channel is idle. The device may select the secondary channel for packet transmission while the primary channel is occupied by the first packet. The device may cause to send a second packet to a first station device using the secondary channel.
