COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137166 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication apparatus described in the patent application is capable of wireless communication with another communication apparatus. It includes a control unit that can switch between two modes of communication: one where wireless communication is relayed through a relay apparatus, and another where communication is direct. The apparatus also has an acquisition unit to gather information on the frequency bands used in both modes, and a setting unit to allocate specific frequency bands for each mode within a given frequency bandwidth.

  • Control unit for managing communication modes
  • Acquisition unit for collecting frequency band information
  • Setting unit for allocating frequency bands for each mode

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as mobile phones, IoT devices, and wireless networks.

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses the issue of optimizing wireless communication by efficiently utilizing frequency bands in different communication modes.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved communication efficiency, reduced interference, and better overall performance in wireless communication systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology could be in telecommunications, networking equipment, and IoT devices.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of frequency band allocation techniques in wireless communication systems to optimize performance and reduce interference.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in communication devices?

The patent abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on battery life in communication devices. It would be interesting to know if the frequency band allocation affects power consumption.

Are there any limitations to the range of communication in each mode?

The abstract does not specify if there are any limitations to the range of communication in each mode. It would be important to understand if there are any range restrictions based on the frequency band allocation.


Original Abstract Submitted

a communication apparatus, which execute wireless communication with another communication apparatus, comprising a control unit for controlling to communicate with a first mode in which wireless communication is performed via a relay apparatus and a second mode in which wireless communication is performed not via a relay apparatus, an acquisition unit for acquiring information of a frequency band used for communication in the first and second modes, and a setting unit for setting such that, when communication in the first and second modes are performed in a first frequency band, the communication in the first mode is performed in a part of a frequency bandwidth in the first frequency band, and the communication in the second mode is performed in another part of a frequency bandwidth in the first frequency band.
