Communication device and communication method, computer program, and communication system

Номер: US20120020420A1
Принадлежит: Sony Corp

Suitable beam pattern control is performed while performing access control based on physical carrier sense. A communication device transmits frames having a long preamble under a state where signals will not reach unless a beam pattern is formed, thereby enabling access control based on physical carrier sense, and under a state where signals will sufficiently reach without a beam pattern being formed transmits frames having a shorter preamble, thereby suppressing transmission overhead. Also, a beam pattern and preamble type are decided based on transmission/reception history of access control following CSMA/CA procedures.

ACCOMMODATING SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSIONS IN A WIRELESS CHANNEL

Systems and methods are disclosed for improving communication efficiency in environments featuring both 802.11ax devices and legacy devices. Although 802.11ax introduces the ability for multiple devices to transmit simultaneously over a wireless channel, this feature is not used to its full potential because legacy devices transmit using turn-based communication (waiting for the channel to free up before transmitting). To create the illusion that the channel is free, in one method, an 802.11ax access point lowers the power for 802.11ax transmissions in a portion of a wireless channel being utilized by the legacy device. In another method, the 802.11ax access point blanks the portion of the wireless channel altogether (i.e., does not schedule transmissions over the portion). As a result of these methods, signal interference is reduced, and legacy devices do not halt transmissions to follow turn-based communication. 1.
