COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONCURRENT TRANSMISSION BETWEEN ACCESS POINTS, AND ACCESS POINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17856489 titled 'COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONCURRENT TRANSMISSION BETWEEN ACCESS POINTS, AND ACCESS POINT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communications system that includes two access points with overlapping operating channels. The system measures the signal strength of a response frame sent by a terminal device associated with the first access point to obtain two signal strengths. Based on these signal strengths, the first access point determines a power, power upper limit, or power adjustment value to be used by the second access point during concurrent transmission with the first access point. This system reduces dependence on the terminal device and allows for more efficient concurrent transmission between the access points.

  • The communications system includes two access points with overlapping operating channels.
  • The system measures the signal strength of a response frame sent by a terminal device associated with the first access point.
  • The first access point determines a power, power upper limit, or power adjustment value for the second access point during concurrent transmission.
  • This allows for more efficient concurrent transmission between the access points.
  • The system reduces dependence on the terminal device.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart home systems
  • Industrial automation systems

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient concurrent transmission between access points
  • Dependence on the terminal device for signal strength measurements

Benefits

  • Improved performance of the communications system
  • Enhanced reliability and stability of wireless connections
  • Increased efficiency in data transmission between access points
  • Reduced interference and congestion in wireless networks


Original Abstract Submitted

A communications system is disclosed. The communications system includes a first access point and a second access point whose operating channels overlap. The first access point and the second access point each measure a signal strength of a response frame sent by a terminal device associated with the first access point, to obtain a first signal strength and a second signal strength. The first access point determines, based on the first signal strength and the second signal strength, a power, a power upper limit, or a power adjustment value to be used by the second access point when the second access point and the first access point perform concurrent transmission. The communications system can perform a step of measuring the signal strength in the concurrent transmission between the access points, and reduce dependence on the terminal device.
