COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157137 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication apparatus that can act as a master-AP in a multi-AP coordination configuration for IEEE802.11 series standard. It selects a sounding method to transmit a sounding packet for receiving a CSI report from a terminal apparatus.

  • The communication apparatus acts as a master-AP in a multi-AP coordination configuration.
  • It supports the IEEE802.11 series standard.
  • The apparatus selects a sounding method for transmitting a sounding packet.
  • The sounding packet is used to receive a CSI report from a terminal apparatus.
  • The selection of the sounding method is based on the CSI calculation capability of the terminal apparatus.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart homes and buildings
  • Industrial automation and control systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient transmission of channel state information (CSI) reports from terminal apparatus to the communication apparatus.
  • Coordination and synchronization of multiple access points (APs) in a multi-AP configuration.
  • Optimizing the selection of sounding methods based on the CSI calculation capability of terminal apparatus.

Benefits

  • Improved performance and reliability of wireless communication networks.
  • Enhanced coordination and synchronization of multiple APs.
  • Efficient utilization of channel resources.
  • Better support for real-time applications and high-bandwidth data transmission.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus operable to act as a master-AP in a multi-AP (access point) coordination configuration that supports an IEEE802.11 series standard, selects a sounding method which is a method for transmitting a sounding packet for receiving a CSI report as feedback from a terminal apparatus in accordance with a CSI (channel state information) calculation capability in the terminal apparatus that is connected to the communication apparatus.
