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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121607 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication apparatus that can perform authentication using both WPA2 and WPA3 methods when communicating with another device over multiple frequency channels.

  • The communication apparatus can establish a link with another device via multiple frequency channels.
  • It executes authentication using the WPA3 method based on at least one frequency channel being in a specific frequency band.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure communication systems, such as in IoT devices, smart homes, and industrial automation.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of ensuring secure communication between devices by using advanced authentication methods like WPA3.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, improved data protection, and reliable communication between devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of secure communication devices for businesses, homes, and public networks.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing communication protocols that use WPA2 or WPA3 for authentication in wireless networks.

What are the specific frequency bands used for authentication in this technology?

The specific frequency bands used for authentication in this technology are not specified in the abstract.

How does this technology handle authentication when the frequency channels are congested or unavailable?

The abstract does not provide information on how this technology handles authentication in cases where frequency channels are congested or unavailable.


Original Abstract Submitted

when a communication apparatus that can execute authentication that uses a wi-fi protected access (wpa)2 method and authentication that uses a wpa3 method performs communication with another communication apparatus in a state in which a link is established with the other communication apparatus via a plurality of frequency channels, the communication apparatus executes authentication using the wpa3 method based on at least one frequency channel of the plurality of frequency channels being a frequency channel included in a specific frequency band.
