METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMUNICATION SERVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339175 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMUNICATION SERVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for detecting and activating emergency communication services for a station (STA) in an access point (AP). The method involves transmitting a beacon frame to another AP to indicate that emergency communication services are activated for the STA and instructing the other AP to turn off overlapping basic service set preamble detection (OBSS/PD). The method also includes transmitting emergency communication data to the STA while the other AP has OBSS/PD turned off.

  • The method detects when a station is in emergency communication mode and activates the necessary services.
  • A beacon frame is transmitted to another access point to indicate the activation of emergency communication services for the station.
  • The beacon frame also instructs the other access point to turn off overlapping basic service set preamble detection.
  • Emergency communication data is transmitted to the station while the other access point has overlapping basic service set preamble detection turned off.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Emergency preparedness communication systems in public places such as airports, train stations, and shopping malls.
  • Disaster response and recovery operations where reliable communication is crucial.
  • Military and defense applications for ensuring uninterrupted communication during emergencies.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that emergency communication services are activated and available for stations in an access point.
  • Reduces the possibility of interference or disruption caused by overlapping basic service set preamble detection.
  • Improves the reliability and effectiveness of emergency communication systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables quick and efficient activation of emergency communication services for stations in an access point.
  • Enhances the overall reliability and performance of emergency communication systems.
  • Reduces the risk of communication failures during critical situations.
  • Improves the coordination and response capabilities of emergency preparedness and disaster recovery operations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes detecting, at an access point (AP), that a station (STA) is in an emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) mode. The method also includes, responsive to detecting that the STA is in the EPCS mode, transmitting a beacon frame to another AP, wherein the beacon frame includes a first information element (IE) indicating that EPCS is activated for the STA and wherein the beacon frame indicates for the other AP to turn off overlapping basic service set preamble detection (OBSS/PD). The method further includes transmitting EPCS data to the STA while the other AP has OBSS/PD turned off.
