Abstract:
A compression device which may include: a subset determination circuit configured to determine a subset of a transmission indication map, the transmission indication map including a plurality of bits, each bit indicating whether data to be transmitted to a respective pre-determined radio communication terminal is present in an access point; a pre-determined bit value determination circuit configured to determine whether the subset includes a bit of a pre-determined bit value; and a compressed string generation circuit configured to insert, if the subset includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value, into a compressed string an indicator indicating that the subset includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value and the subset and further configured to include, if the subset does not includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value, into the compressed string an indicator indicating that the subset does not include a bit of the pre-determined bit value.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a method of controlling a station may be provided. The method may include receiving a first signal from an access point, the first signal including information indicating a time period. The method may further include deactivating the station after receiving the first signal and before expiry of the time period. The method may also include activating the station upon expiry of the time period.
Abstract:
A compression device which may include: a subset determination circuit configured to determine a subset of a traffic indication map, the traffic indication map including a plurality of bits, each bit indicating whether data to be transmitted to a respective pre-determined radio communication terminal is present in an access point; a pre-determined bit value determination circuit configured to determine whether the subset includes a bit of a pre-determined bit value; and a compressed string generation circuit configured to insert, if the subset includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value, into a compressed string the subset and an indicator indicating that the subset includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value, and further configured to include, if the subset does not includes a bit of the pre-determined bit value, into the compressed string an indicator indicating that the subset does not include a bit of the pre-determined bit value.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments, a communication method may be provided. The communication method may include: at least one of sending a first data unit including a physical layer (PHY) header or receiving a first data unit including a PHY header. The PHY header may include at least a field to indicate whether a response data unit is intended to follow the first data unit, and to indicate the type of the response data unit, when a response data unit is intended to follow the first data unit. The type of the response data unit may be used to estimate the duration of the response data unit.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a method of selecting one or more nodes from a plurality of nodes for establishing wireless communication with an access point including defining a filter, filtering the one or more nodes from the plurality of nodes using the filter and sending a linking signal from each of the one or more nodes to the access point for establishing wireless communication with the access point.
