- The present invention is related to a wireless LAN communication system.
 
- The invention aims to improve frequency efficiency in the system.
 
- It proposes configuring a different primary channel for uplink frame transmission and downlink frame transmission.
 
- The system supports frame transmission and reception using a broadband frequency.
 
- The system includes various types of terminal apparatuses, such as power-saving terminals, legacy terminals, and low-spec terminals.
 
- The ratio of terminal apparatuses using the entire bandwidth may not be high during a transition stage.
 
- Concentration of radio frames around the primary channel can result in idle radio channels that decrease frequency efficiency.
 
 
 
'''Abstract'''
 
According to an aspect of the present invention, in a wireless LAN communication system, a primary channel to be used for uplink frame transmission is configured to be different from a primary channel to be used for downlink frame transmission, so that the frequency efficiency can be improved. In a wireless LAN communication system capable of frame transmission and/or reception using a broadband frequency such as a 320 MHz bandwidth, terminal apparatuses connected to an access point apparatus include terminals that perform power saving operations, legacy terminals, and low-spec terminals, and it is conceivable that a ratio of terminal apparatuses that perform frame transmission and/or reception using the entire bandwidth is not so high particularly in a transition stage. In this case, radio frames are concentrated particularly around the primary channel in the entire band, and a radio channel that cannot be used for frame transmission and/or reception and becomes idle is generated, resulting in decrease in frequency efficiency.

Summary of the patent applications from SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHA on November 30th, 2023

SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHA has recently filed several patents related to display devices, wireless communication systems, and user equipment. These patents aim to improve the performance, efficiency, and functionality of various technologies.

In the display device patents, SHARP describes a design that includes a hole injection layer to control the flow of positive holes within each pixel and prevent interference between adjacent pixels. This innovation could potentially lead to enhanced image quality, better color accuracy, and reduced power consumption in display devices.

The wireless communication system patents focus on improving frequency efficiency by configuring different primary channels for uplink and downlink frame transmission. This helps prevent concentration of radio frames around the primary channel, resulting in idle radio channels that decrease frequency efficiency.

The user equipment patents involve various features such as determining the number of PDCCH candidates for the search space set based on received parameters, configuring and transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition, and configuring bandwidth for inactive state data transmission.

Notable applications:

  • Display device with improved image quality and efficiency through hole injection layer control.
  • Wireless communication system with improved frequency efficiency through different primary channels for uplink and downlink transmission.
  • User equipment with features such as determining PDCCH candidates, configuring PUSCH repetition, and configuring bandwidth for inactive state data transmission.
