摘要:
A generation device generates a frame to be transmitted to a destination communication apparatus. The frame includes a first separation field, a first MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) following the first separation field, a second separation field following the first MPDU, a third separation field following the second separation field, and a third MPDU following the third separation field. The second separation field includes length information set to a value of zero to indicate no second MPDU directly follows the second separation field. The first MPDU includes a first MAC header, a first data field, and a first frame check sequence (FCS). The first FCS is for detecting an error occurred in at least the first data field. The third MPDU includes a third MAC header, a third data field, and a third FCS. The third FCS is for detecting an error occurred in at least the third data field.

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 wireless communication apparatus includes a carrier sense device which determines whether or not the first channel satisfies a specific condition of the determination of an idle state, and an occupation/release control device which performs control to make the first physical layer protocol processing device generate and transmit a first frame which declares that the first channel will be occupied for a first predetermined period by virtual carrier sense, when the specific condition of the determination of the idle state is satisfied, and perform control to make the second physical layer protocol processing device generate and transmit a second frame which declares that the second channel will be occupied for a second predetermined period by virtual carrier sense.
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 radio communication method stores a plurality MAC frames for each of a plurality of destinations. The method decides the longest transmission time of transmission times needed to transmit the plurality of MAC frames to each of the plurality of destinations within a fixed period. The method generates a plurality of physical frames for the plurality of destinations to transmit them at the same time by connecting the plurality of MAC frames and adding additional information to each connected MAC frame so as to be a frame length equivalent to a transmission time equal to the longest transmission time.

A physical frame is constructed, the physical frame including a medium access control super-frame payload which in turn includes a plurality of medium access control frames. With respect to the constructed physical frame, virtual carrier sense information is set in the plurality of medium access control frame so that a result of carrier sense is identical to another by virtual carrier sense based on the plurality of medium access control frames in the medium access control super-frame payload. The physical frame in which the virtual carrier sense information has been set is transmitted to a destined communication apparatus.

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.
摘要:
A radio base station apparatus used in a radio communication system in which an initiator holds a transmission opportunity (TXOP) period in a frame exchange sequence and a responder responds to the initiator in the frame exchange sequence is disclosed. The apparatus includes a setting device which sets a ratio between a first period necessary for transmitting a first frame from the initiator to the responder and a second period necessary for transmitting a second frame from the responder to the initiator. The apparatus also includes a calculation device which calculates the first period to be used by the initiator and the second period to be used by the responder, on the basis of the transmission opportunity period and of the ratio which is set.
摘要:
A wireless communication apparatus for performing wireless communication using a first channel having a first frequency bandwidth, and a second channel formed of both the first channel and a second communication channel, the second communication channel having a frequency bandwidth equal to the first frequency bandwidth. A first generation of a first declaration frame for declaring occupation of the first channel for a specified period, and a second generation of a second declaration frame for declaring occupation of the second communication channel for a specified period after the first declaration frame are generated and transmitted. Transmission timings are set so that the first and second declaration frames are transmitted at the highest priority of all the other frames.
