RANGING POLLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181501 titled 'RANGING POLLS

The present disclosure pertains to wireless communication, where a responding station transmits a first ranging poll via a first bandwidth, indicating a second ranging poll and first polling information repeated in the frequency domain based on serving first initiating stations (I-STAs) and second I-STAs using different bandwidths.

• Responding station transmits first ranging poll with indication of second ranging poll and polling information in frequency domain.
• First initiating stations (I-STAs) use first bandwidth, while second I-STAs use a smaller second bandwidth.
• Responding station transmits second ranging poll over second bandwidth based on indication of second ranging poll.

• • Potential Applications:**

This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to improve ranging and polling processes efficiently.

• • Problems Solved:**

This innovation addresses the need for optimized communication between different types of initiating stations using varying bandwidths.

• • Benefits:**

- Enhanced communication efficiency - Improved data transmission accuracy - Better utilization of available bandwidth

• • Commercial Applications:**

Title: Enhanced Wireless Communication System for Efficient Ranging and Polling This technology can be utilized in 5G networks, IoT devices, and other wireless systems to enhance communication performance and reliability.

• • Questions about Wireless Communication:**

1. How does this technology improve communication efficiency in wireless networks?

  - This technology optimizes ranging and polling processes, leading to enhanced data transmission and bandwidth utilization.

2. What are the potential applications of this innovation in modern wireless systems?

  - This innovation can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including 5G networks and IoT devices, to improve communication performance and reliability.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a responding station may transmit a first ranging poll via a first bandwidth, the first ranging poll comprising an indication of a second ranging poll and first polling information transmitted with repetitions in a frequency domain based at least in part on serving first initiating stations (I-STAs) configured for communication using the first bandwidth and second I-STAs configured for communication using a second bandwidth that is smaller than the first bandwidth. The responding station may transmit, based at least in part on the indication of the second ranging poll, the second ranging poll over the second bandwidth comprising second polling information. Numerous other aspects are described.
