EXPOSED NODE ISSUE CONFIGURATIONS IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129951 titled 'EXPOSED NODE ISSUE CONFIGURATIONS IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an apparatus of an access point (AP) in a wireless network that can create a protected period for a station device (STA) in an exposed node situation and establish a restricted target wake time (RTWT) for the STA.

  • The apparatus includes memory and processing circuitry for encoding trigger frames for transmission to multiple STAs in the network.
  • It decodes a first request frame from a STA requesting a protected period.
  • It encodes a second request frame for transmission to at least a second AP requesting the establishment of a RTWT for the STA.
  • It decodes a first response frame from the second AP indicating whether the RTWT is established.
  • It encodes a second response frame for transmission to the STA including the indication.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various wireless network environments where multiple STAs need to be managed efficiently to avoid collisions and optimize network performance.

Problems Solved

1. Avoiding collisions and interference in wireless networks. 2. Efficiently managing STAs in exposed node situations.

Benefits

1. Improved network performance. 2. Enhanced STA management. 3. Reduction in collisions and interference.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Wireless Network Management System for Efficient STA Control"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to wireless network protocols and methods for managing STAs in various network configurations.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus handle multiple STAs requesting protected periods simultaneously?

The abstract does not provide details on how the apparatus prioritizes and manages multiple requests for protected periods from different STAs.

What specific wireless network standards or protocols does this technology comply with?

The abstract does not mention any specific standards or protocols that the apparatus follows for communication with STAs and other APs in the network.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus of an access point (ap) includes memory and processing circuitry configured to encode a trigger frame for transmission to a plurality of station devices (stas) in a wireless network. a first request frame received from a sta of the plurality of stas is decoded. the first request frame requests the ap to create a protected period for the sta when the sta is in an exposed node situation. a second request frame is encoded for transition to at least a second ap. the second request frame requests the at least second ap to establish a restricted target wake time (rtwt) for the sta. a first response frame from the at least second ap is decoded. the first response frame includes an indication of whether the rtwt is established. a second response frame is encoded for transmission to the sta. the second response frame includes the indication.
