BASE STATION AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18017658 Titled 'BASE STATION AND COMMUNICATION METHOD'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a base station that consists of multiple radio signal processing units, a carrier sense control unit, and a management unit. The radio signal processing units are responsible for transmitting and receiving radio signals on different channels. The carrier sense control unit performs collective carrier sensing on each channel using a common access parameter to determine if the channel is idle or busy. The management unit handles the transmission of radio signals through multiple types of channels when there are multiple links established between a radio signal processing unit and a terminal that is in an idle state.
Original Abstract Submitted
A base station () according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of radio signal processing units (, , and ), a carrier sense control unit (), and a management unit (). The plurality of radio signal processing units (, , and ) transmit and receive radio signals of different channels. The carrier sense control unit () executes collective carrier sensing on a channel of each of the plurality of radio signal processing units (, , and ) using an access parameter common to the plurality of radio signal processing units (, , and ) and determines whether the channel is in an idle state or busy state. The management unit () performs processing for transmitting radio signals by a multi-link wirelessly connected through a plurality of types of channels when there are a plurality of links formed between a radio signal processing unit having the channel determined to be in an idle state and a terminal ().
