Techniques for Multi-Access Point Joint Sounding - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355953 titled 'Techniques for Multi-Access Point Joint Sounding
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a network device that enables a joint channel sounding procedure in a WiFi network. This procedure helps in acquiring channel state information between multiple access points (APs) and multiple stations associated with those APs.
- The network device is an access point belonging to a subset of the multi-access point (M-AP) set.
- The M-AP set consists of multiple APs that are configured to transmit an announcement frame.
- The network device's processor generates the announcement frame for the M-AP joint channel sounding procedure.
- The announcement frame includes the identification of the M-AP set and the identifications of the APs associated with the subset of the M-AP set.
- The subset of APs, to which the network device belongs, is configured to transmit the announcement frame.
- The network device's transceiver is responsible for transmitting the announcement frame.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a network device for announcing a multi-access point (M-AP), joint channel sounding procedure in a WiFi network for acquiring channel state information between multiple access points (APs), which belong to a same M-AP set, and multiple stations associated with at least one of those multiple APs, wherein the network device is an access point of a subset of the M-AP set which subset includes APs that are configured to transmit an announcement frame, the network device comprising: a processor configured to provide the announcement frame of the M-AP joint channel sounding procedure, wherein the announcement frame comprises an identification of the M-AP set and identifications of the APs, associated to the subset of the M-AP set which subset of APs is configured to transmit the announcement frame; and a transceiver configured to transmit the announcement frame.
