COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18600004 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The communication apparatus described in the patent application enables wireless communication compliant with IEEE 802.11 standards through multiple wireless communication links operating on different frequencies.
- The reception unit of the communication apparatus receives an Association Request frame from another communication apparatus, indicating a request for wireless communication link establishment on multiple links.
- When the communication establishment is accepted for some links and rejected for others, the communication apparatus sets a common Status code in the Association Response frame to indicate success or failure for all links.
- The communication apparatus then transmits the frame back to the other communication apparatus.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in wireless networking devices to improve communication efficiency and reliability. - It can be applied in IoT devices, smart homes, and industrial automation systems for seamless wireless connectivity.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for efficient management of multiple wireless communication links in a network. - Solves the challenge of coordinating communication establishment requests on different frequencies.
Benefits: - Enhanced communication reliability and performance. - Simplified management of wireless networks with multiple links. - Improved overall network efficiency and data transfer speeds.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Multi-Link Wireless Communication Apparatus for Enhanced Network Performance" This technology can be commercialized in the development of advanced routers, access points, and IoT devices for improved wireless connectivity in various industries. It can also be integrated into smart home systems and industrial automation solutions for seamless communication.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the communication apparatus handle requests for wireless communication link establishment on multiple links? - The communication apparatus sets a common Status code in the Association Response frame to indicate success or failure for all links. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the IoT industry? - This technology can be applied in IoT devices for improved wireless connectivity and network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication apparatus performs wireless communication compliant with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 series standards via a plurality of wireless communication links using a different frequency from each other. The communication apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive an Association Request frame including information indicating a plurality of links for which wireless communication link establishment is requested by another communication apparatus, and sets, in a case where the wireless communication link establishment is accepted for some of the plurality of links indicated by the information while the wireless communication link establishment is rejected for some of the plurality of links indicated by the information, information of a Status code that is included in an Association Response frame and is a common Status code for the plurality of links to information indicating success, and transmits the frame to the other communication apparatus.
