Wireless Communication System, Wireless Communication Method, Wireless LAN Access Point, And Wireless LAN Station - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121828 titled 'Wireless Communication System, Wireless Communication Method, Wireless LAN Access Point, And Wireless LAN Station
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for coordinating simultaneous transmission of data frames from multiple stations to an access point in a wireless network.
- Station information collection unit gathers information from stations for selection of stations for simultaneous transmission.
- Simultaneous-transmission request unit detects QoS data frames and sends a request for simultaneous transmission to the access point.
- Access point includes a station information collection unit, a simultaneous-transmission determination unit, and a trigger transmission unit.
- Simultaneous-transmission determination unit selects stations for simultaneous transmission based on received request frames.
- Trigger transmission unit sends trigger frames to selected stations instructing them to perform simultaneous transmission.
- Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in scenarios where multiple stations need to transmit data simultaneously to improve network efficiency and throughput.
- Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of coordinating simultaneous transmission from multiple stations to prevent interference and optimize network performance.
- Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased network capacity, reduced latency, and improved overall network performance.
- Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include high-density wireless networks in crowded environments such as stadiums, conference centers, and urban areas.
- Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar systems for coordinating simultaneous transmission in wireless networks, but this specific approach may offer unique features or improvements.
- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system handle collisions between simultaneous transmissions from different stations?
The system likely uses collision detection mechanisms to avoid interference and ensure successful data transmission.
- What is the impact of distance and signal strength on the effectiveness of simultaneous transmission coordination?
The system may need to account for varying signal strengths and distances between stations and the access point to optimize simultaneous transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
a predetermined sta includes a station information collection unit collecting from the sta itself and other stas station information used for selection of stas performing simultaneous transmission and for control of the simultaneous transmission, and a simultaneous-transmission request unit knowing occurrence of a qos data frame based on the station information and transmitting a request frame requesting the simultaneous transmission to an ap. the ap includes a station information collection unit; a simultaneous-transmission determination unit selecting a combination of the stas performing the simultaneous transmission based on the station information by reception of the request frame; and a trigger transmission unit transmitting to each of the stas performing the simultaneous transmission a trigger frame instructing to performs the simultaneous transmission and including information necessary for controlling the simultaneous transmission. each of the stas designated by the trigger frame is configured to simultaneously transmit the wireless frames to the ap.
