Communication Method and Communication Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18358361 titled 'Communication Method and Communication Apparatus

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a communication method that involves the selection of beam widths for coordinated transmission between sharing access points (APs) and shared APs. The sharing AP selects a first beam width to schedule a sharing station (STA) during coordinated transmission. The sharing AP then sends a coordinated transmission notification to the shared AP, which includes a coordinated transmission parameter obtained based on the sharing STA and the first beam width. The notification instructs the shared AP to select a shared STA and a second beam width for coordinated transmission, where the second beam width is one of the adjustable beam widths of the shared AP, and the first beam width is one of the at least two adjustable beam widths of the sharing AP.

The sharing AP selects a beam width for scheduling a sharing STA during coordinated transmission.
The sharing AP sends a coordinated transmission notification to the shared AP.
The notification includes a coordinated transmission parameter obtained based on the sharing STA and the selected beam width.
The notification instructs the shared AP to select a shared STA and a second beam width for coordinated transmission.
The second beam width is one of the adjustable beam widths of the shared AP.
The first beam width is one of the at least two adjustable beam widths of the sharing AP.

Potential Applications:

Wireless communication systems
Coordinated transmission between access points

Problems Solved:

Efficient scheduling of coordinated transmission between sharing and shared APs
Optimizing beam widths for coordinated transmission

Benefits:

Improved communication efficiency
Enhanced coordination between APs
Better utilization of available resources

Original Abstract Submitted

A communication method includes that a sharing AP selects a first beam width used to schedule a sharing STA during coordinated transmission, and the sharing AP sends a coordinated transmission notification to a shared AP, where the coordinated transmission notification includes a coordinated transmission parameter, where the coordinated transmission parameter is obtained based on the sharing STA and the first beam width, where the coordinated transmission notification indicates the shared AP to select, based on the coordinated transmission parameter, a shared STA and a second beam width that are used for coordinated transmission, where the second beam width is one of adjustable beam widths of the shared AP, and where the first beam width is one of at least two adjustable beam widths of the sharing AP.
