TDMA TRANSMISSION IN MULTI-AP ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916971 titled 'TDMA TRANSMISSION IN MULTI-AP ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a system in a wireless local area network (wireless LAN) where a sharing access point (AP) assigns time intervals for each AP to perform transmission/reception. The stations (STAs) belonging to a basic service set (BSS) of each AP can operate in a power saving mode during the time intervals not allocated to their BSS.
- The patent application proposes a method for optimizing power consumption in a wireless LAN system.
- The sharing AP allocates specific time intervals for each AP to transmit and receive data.
- STAs belonging to a BSS of each AP can conserve power by operating in a power saving mode during the time intervals not allocated to their BSS.
- This method allows for efficient use of resources and reduces power consumption in the wireless LAN system.
Potential Applications
- Wireless local area networks (WLANs) in various environments such as homes, offices, and public spaces.
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices that connect to a WLAN and require power optimization.
Problems Solved
- Power consumption in wireless LAN systems can be inefficient, leading to unnecessary energy usage.
- STAs in a BSS may not have a mechanism to conserve power when not actively transmitting or receiving data.
- The proposed method solves these problems by allocating specific time intervals for APs and enabling power saving mode for STAs.
Benefits
- Optimizes power consumption in wireless LAN systems, leading to energy savings.
- Allows for efficient use of resources by allocating time intervals for APs.
- Enables power saving mode for STAs, reducing unnecessary power consumption.
Original Abstract Submitted
In a wireless local area network (wireless LAN) system, a sharing AP may allocate a time interval in which each AP performs transmission/reception. STAs belonging to a BSS of each AP may operate in a power saving mode in time intervals not allocated to the BSS of the STAs.
