IPC Code(s): H04W4/80
Abstract: the present image forming apparatus selects an appropriate connection method in accordance with circumstances from a plurality of connection methods when communication with an information processing apparatus is established by short-range wireless communication, and notifies information necessary for performing communication by the selected connection method to the information processing apparatus via short-range wireless communication.
Inventor(s): TOMOYASU SOMA of Kanagawa (JP) for canon kabushiki kaisha
IPC Code(s): H04W28/22, H04W28/20, H04L27/26
Abstract: a communication apparatus receives, from at least one other communication apparatus wirelessly connected to the communication apparatus, first information representing a permissible delay time until completion of data reception by the communication apparatus after data transmission by the at least one other communication apparatus, and a data length of data transmitted at once by the at least one other communication apparatus, which are requested by the at least one other communication apparatus, decides, based on the first information, a data rate used for communication with the at least one other communication apparatus, and notifies the at least one other communication apparatus of second information about the decided data rate.

IPC Code(s): H04W74/08, H04W48/08
Abstract: a network adopts low latency reliable service measures to ensure llrs traffic has priority over not-llrs traffic. llrs capable and not-capable stations coexist and share the same wireless medium. llrs not-capable stations complete an ongoing legacy contention free transmission txop regardless of any needs of station to transmit llrs. llrs transmissions thus wait for a long time before starting. an ap detects llrs activity in the network and modify the edca txop limit parameter of a bss to force the stations to reduce their txop while llrs activity remains. the ap can organize a bss for llrs capable stations and another bss for llrs not-capable stations. refusal for association to such bsss or disassociation from such bsss can include a code indicating to the refused/disassociated stations that a bss more adapted to its llrs capability is available.

IPC Code(s): H04W74/08, H04W72/0446, H04W72/121
Abstract: a physical ap manages a plurality of bsss through vaps. the ap sends a trigger frame to reserve a txop including resource units the nodes access to transmit data during the reserved txop. to improve channel utilization, the trigger frame identifies a plurality of groups, nodes of which are allowed to access the resources units to transmit data during the reserved txop. thus, the ap receives, during the reserved txop, data from one node of a first group identified in the trigger frame and data from one node (separate from the first one) of a second and separate group identified in the trigger frame. a single access by the ap to the medium is thus required, reducing the channel occupation due to control frames. in some embodiments, the number of trigger frames can be drastically reduce, while offering resource units to several bsss.
