COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314839 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for implementing a channel sensing procedure between different apparatuses in a WLAN system to improve communication efficiency and reduce overheads.

• First apparatus sends a frame to second apparatus to request channel sensing.
• Second apparatus sends a frame back with channel sensing information based on received frames.
• Channel sensing information is determined from a part or all of n PPDU frames sent by the first apparatus.

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Smart home technology

Problems Solved: - Enhances communication efficiency in WLAN systems - Reduces overhead in wireless networks

Benefits: - Improved communication performance - Reduced network congestion - Enhanced reliability of wireless connections

Commercial Applications: - Networking equipment manufacturers - Telecommunications companies - IoT device manufacturers

Questions about Channel Sensing: 1. How does channel sensing improve communication efficiency in WLAN systems?

  - Channel sensing helps devices avoid interference and select the best available channel for communication.

2. What impact does reducing overhead have on the overall performance of a wireless network?

  - By reducing overhead, more bandwidth is available for data transmission, leading to improved network performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

this application provides a communication method and an apparatus, to implement a channel sensing procedure between different apparatuses while meeting a communication requirement, thereby improving communication efficiency of a wlan system and reducing overheads. in the method, a first apparatus sends a first frame to a second apparatus, where the first frame is used to request channel sensing; and the first apparatus receives a second frame from the second apparatus, where the second frame includes channel sensing information between the first apparatus and the second apparatus, the channel sensing information is determined based on a part of or all of n ppdus, the n ppdus are ppdus sent by the first apparatus, and n is greater than or equal to 1.
