Abstract:
[Object] Provided a wireless communication device and method of wireless communication capable of improving utilization efficiency of radio resources by introducing orthogonal frequency-division multiple access to a wireless LAN system. [Solution] A wireless communication device including: a wireless communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with another wireless communication device in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 standard; and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit so that the wireless communication unit includes schedule information in a PLCP header defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard and transmits the schedule information to the other wireless communication device, the schedule information relating to orthogonal frequency-division multiple access.
Abstract:
Communication operations are optimally conducted by applying space-division multiple access in which wireless resources on a spatial axis are shared among a plurality of users. By applying an RD protocol to a communication system that conducts space-division multiple access, spatially multiplexed frames in a TXOP are made more efficient. By specifying a frame length for reverse direction frames with reverse direction permission information and having respective transmitters of reverse direction frames make their frame lengths uniform while respecting the specification, AGC operation stabilizes. Also, a transmit start time for reverse direction frames can be specified by reverse direction permission information, and respective transmitters of reverse direction frames can transmit frames at the same time while respecting the specification.
