COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107446 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a communication apparatus that acquires information from two other communication apparatuses operating as access points defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard. The communication apparatus then notifies a station connected to it of this information and instructs the station not to operate in a power save mode.

  • The communication apparatus acquires information from two other communication apparatuses operating as access points defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard.
  • The communication apparatus notifies a station connected to it of the acquired information.
  • The communication apparatus instructs the station not to operate in a power save mode.

Original Abstract Submitted

a communication apparatus acquires, in a case where a first other communication apparatus operating as an access point defined by an institute of electrical and electronics engineers (ieee) 802.11 standard and a second other communication apparatus operating as an access point defined by the ieee802.11 standard cooperate to perform spatial reuse, information on the second other communication apparatus and notifies a station having established a connection with the communication apparatus of the information and an instruction to not operate in a power save mode.
