COORDINATED BEAMFORMING FROM CLIENT DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014859 titled 'COORDINATED BEAMFORMING FROM CLIENT DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes techniques for beamforming from wireless stations (STAs) to a wireless access point (AP). The techniques involve identifying a group of STAs for beamforming and receiving data transmitted from each of the STAs in the group to the AP at the same time, resulting in constructive interference between the transmissions.

  • Techniques for beamforming from wireless stations (STAs) to a wireless access point (AP) are disclosed.
  • The techniques involve identifying a group of STAs for beamforming and transmitting data from each STA in the group to the AP.
  • The transmissions from the STAs result in constructive interference, enhancing the signal received by the AP.
  • The same data is received from each STA in the beamforming group.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Wi-Fi networks
  • Cellular networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Wireless sensor networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improves the signal strength and quality of wireless transmissions from STAs to an AP.
  • Minimizes interference and enhances the overall performance of wireless networks.
  • Enables efficient and reliable communication between STAs and APs in various wireless applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced signal strength and quality for wireless transmissions.
  • Improved network performance and reliability.
  • Increased capacity and coverage of wireless networks.
  • Better communication between STAs and APs in crowded or interference-prone environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for beamforming from wireless stations (stas) are disclosed. these techniques include identifying a plurality of stas for a beamforming group, for transmission to a wireless access point (ap). the techniques further include receiving, at the ap, first data transmitted from each of the plurality of stas in the beamforming group to the ap at least partially at the same time, wherein the transmitting the first data from each of the plurality of stas results in constructive interference between the transmissions from the plurality of stas to the ap, and wherein the same first data is received from each of the plurality of stas in the beamforming group.
