Repurposed Trigger-Frame Response - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447564 titled 'Repurposed Trigger-Frame Response
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that receives a modified response frame. The device sends a management frame and a trigger frame to another electronic device, and then receives a modified response frame that differs from the standard response frame specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- The electronic device sends a management frame and a trigger frame to another device.
- The trigger frame includes a variant compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- The modified response frame received is different from the standard response frame.
- Modifications to the modified response frame are specified in the management frame.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Network management and optimization
- IoT devices
Problems Solved
- Enhancing communication efficiency
- Improving network performance
- Addressing compatibility issues in response frames
Benefits
- Increased data transfer speeds
- Enhanced network reliability
- Improved overall system performance
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device (such as an access point) that receives a modified response frame is described. During operation, an interface circuit in the electronic device may provide a management frame addressed to a second electronic device. Then, the interface circuit may provide a trigger frame addressed to the second electronic device, where the trigger frame includes a trigger-frame variant that is compatible with an IEEE 802.11 standard. Next, the interface circuit may receive a modified response frame associated with the second electronic device, where the modified response frame is different from a response frame associated with the trigger frame specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard, and modifications to the modified response frame are specified in the management frame.
