Abstract:
A communication device for performing wireless communication with another communication device, includes a wired communication interface configured to be connected to a wired communication line, a wireless communication interface configured to be connected to the other communication device by wireless communication, an antenna configured to transmit or receive a wireless signal related to the wireless communication, and a processor configured to, in a case that a destination of a first frame received by the wired communication interface indicates a broadcast address or a multicast address, wirelessly transmit a second frame to the other communication device with a modulation scheme and a coding rate set according to a wireless communication environment with the other communication device. The second frame includes the first frame and the second frame has a unicast address indicating a destination of the other communication device.
Abstract:
A first antenna group includes one first antenna disposed at one end of a leading car, and another first antenna disposed at one end of a following car. A second antenna group includes one second antenna disposed at the one end of the leading car, the position where the one second antenna is disposed being different from the position where the one first antenna is disposed in a direction orthogonal to a travel direction of the leading car, and another second antenna disposed at the one end of the following car. A measurement unit measures radio wave strength between a pair of first antennas during communication via the first antenna group. A controller is enabled to make a switch from the first antenna group to the second antenna group when the radio wave strength is less than a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A wireless communication apparatus uses a Wi-Fi system to transmit to another wireless communication apparatus a WiGig switching request frame (F1) requesting that the communication method for communicating with another wireless communication apparatus be switched from the Wi-Fi system to a WiGig system. The wireless communication apparatus uses RSSI when the WiGig switching request frame (F1) was received to determine whether to allow the switch from the Wi-Fi system to the WiGig system, and uses the Wi-Fi system to transmit to the wireless communication apparatus a WiGig switching response frame (F2) indicating the result of the determination.
