摘要:
A communication apparatus includes a receiving device configured to receive one physical frame in which a plurality of MAC frames are aggregated. This physical frame includes one acknowledgement request frame for the plurality of MAC frames. The apparatus includes an acknowledgement frame forming device configured to form an acknowledgement frame representing reception statuses of the plurality of MAC frames in response to the acknowledgement request frame. The apparatus also includes a transmitting device configured to transmit the acknowledgement frame. This acknowledgement frame includes a compressed acknowledgement frame representing an acknowledgement bitmap having a size equal to a maximum number of MSDUs (MAC Service Data Units) when one MPDU (MAC Protocol Data Unit) corresponds to one MSDU.

A communication apparatus includes a frame generating device configured to generate a physical frame containing, of a plurality of MAC frames to be transmitted, a MAC frame which requires acknowledgement indicating that the frame is received by a receiving side, a MAC frame which does not require the acknowledgement, and identification information which indicates necessity/unnecessity of acknowledgement for each MAC frame depending on whether each MAC frame requires acknowledgement, and a transmitting device configured to transmit the physical frame generated by the frame generating device.

摘要:
A wireless communication system having wireless terminal stations to perform direct communication without passing through a wireless base station. This system includes a wireless communication device which performs either a first wireless communication using a first channel having a first frequency band or the second wireless communication using a second channel having a second frequency band with a bandwidth greater than that of the first frequency band. This system also includes a generation device which generates a switching control frame to control switching between a communication period by the first wireless communication and a communication period by the second wireless communication, and a communication control device which controls the wireless communication device so as to transmit the switching control frame. A wireless terminal station is selected as a temporal central control station having a switching control right to control switching between the first and second wireless communications.
摘要:
In a wireless communication system having a wireless base station, wireless terminal stations belonging to a first group which performs wireless communication while sharing different frequency channels, and wireless terminal stations belonging to a second group which performs wireless communication by using one frequency channel, a first communication period and a second communication period is alternately repeated. In this system, a wireless terminal station belonging to the first or the second group communicates with the wireless base station by using a first frequency channel in the first communication period. Direct communication between two wireless terminal stations belonging to the first group by using a second frequency channel without through the wireless base station is performed in the first communication period. Then, a wireless terminal station belonging to the first group communicates with the wireless base station by using both the first and the second frequency channels.
摘要:
A wireless communication system includes first and second wireless terminals capable of performing transmission by at least one of a first transmission scheme and a second transmission scheme. The first wireless terminal performs transmission of a first frame to the second wireless terminal by using the second transmission scheme. The second wireless terminal communicates with the first wireless terminal to notify the first wireless terminal of information associated with a status of the reception of the first frame transmitted from the first wireless terminal by using the first transmission scheme.
摘要:
A wireless communication apparatus including a main queue to store MAC frames, a plurality of subqueues related to the main queue and used to control retransmission of the MAC frame, each of the subqueues having different priority for transmission of the MAC frame, respectively, an extracting device configured to extract the MAC frame from the main queue on the basis of a destination and the priority, and distribute the extracted MAC frame to one of the plurality of subqueues for each priority, and an aggregating device configured to extract MAC frames from the plurality of subqueues to form a MAC super frame.
摘要:
A physical frame is generated and transmitted to a destination terminal. In this physical frame, one of a data frame, an acknowledgement frame, and an acknowledgement request frame, and a transmission permission frame which is used in place of a normal Ack frame associated with a delayed Block Ack, and permits the destination terminal to perform piggyback transmission, are aggregated.
摘要:
There is disclosed a wireless communication apparatus in which a first wireless communication using one first channel of two first channels each having a first bandwidth, and a second wireless communication using a second channel having a second bandwidth wider than the first bandwidth and having a band overlapping those of the two first channels are performed. A selection unit selects a Basic Service Set (BSS) operational mode on the basis of a load amount of the other first channel of the two first channels. A generation unit generates a management frame indicating the BSS operational mode selected by the BSS mode selection unit. A transmission unit transmits the management frame.
