  • Allocating a Resource Unit to a Station
    Publication number: 20220109548
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an access point is configured with a plurality of resource units (RUs). Each RU is configured to use a frequency range that differs from frequency ranges used by the other RUs. The access point determines a pattern of recurring signal performance over time. For each RU of the plurality of RUs, the pattern indicates the recurring signal performance with respect to a station when the station is located in a given physical location. The access point allocates one or more of the RUs for communicating with the station. The pattern is used for avoiding allocation of any of the RUs for which the station is predicted to experience strong multipath fading or other destructive interference.

  • Allocating a resource unit to a station
    Patent number: 11218284
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an access point is configured with a plurality of resource units (RUs). Each RU is configured to use a frequency range that differs from frequency ranges used by the other RUs. The access point receives first information indicating, for each RU, a first signal quality that the station associates with the respective RU. The access point receives second information indicating, for each RU, a second signal quality that the station associates with the respective RU. The access point further determines, based on at least the first information and the second information, a pattern indicating a recurring signal quality that the station associates with each RU. The access point uses the pattern to allocate one of the RUs for communicating with the station.
