COORDINATED ACCESS POINT TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602912 titled 'COORDINATED ACCESS POINT TRANSMISSIONS
Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for sharing resources of a wireless medium. Particular implementations relate more specifically to coordinated AP (CAP) time-division-multiple-access (TDMA) and orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple access (OFDMA) techniques for sharing the time or frequency resources of a transmission opportunity (TXOP). According to such techniques, an AP that wins contention and gains access to the wireless medium for the duration of a TXOP may share its time or frequency resources with other selected APs. To share its resources, the winning AP may partition the TXOP into multiple time or frequency segments each including respective time or frequency resources representing a portion of the TXOP, and allocate each of the time or frequency segments to itself or to one of the selected APs.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Methods, devices, and systems for sharing resources of a wireless medium are disclosed. - Coordinated AP (CAP) TDMA and OFDMA techniques are used to share time or frequency resources during a TXOP.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes CAP TDMA and OFDMA techniques for resource sharing. - Enables the winning AP to allocate time or frequency segments to selected APs during a TXOP.
- Potential Applications:
- Wireless communication networks - IoT devices - Smart home systems
- Problems Solved:
- Efficient resource sharing in wireless networks - Improved network performance during contention
- Benefits:
- Enhanced network capacity - Reduced interference - Better overall network efficiency
- Commercial Applications:
- "Wireless Resource Sharing Technology for Improved Network Performance"
- Questions about Wireless Resource Sharing Technology:
1. How does this technology improve network efficiency? - This technology improves network efficiency by allowing APs to share resources during a TXOP, reducing contention and interference. 2. What are the potential applications of CAP TDMA and OFDMA techniques in wireless networks? - CAP TDMA and OFDMA techniques can be applied in various wireless communication scenarios to optimize resource allocation and improve network performance.
