Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first frame including first information required for uplink multi-user transmission without receiving a transmission request for the first information; and a receiver configured to receive a second frame.
Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus which can simultaneously conduct communication on at least two frequency channels is described. The apparatus includes a communication unit which refers to a connection management table to determine a communication system which can be used by a wireless communication terminal using an identifier of the wireless communication terminal, and conducts communication with the wireless communication terminal on a second frequency channel using the communication system, when a request from the wireless communication terminal to change the first frequency channel to the second frequency channel is permitted.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless device includes a transmitter; and a receiver. The transmitter is configured to transmit a first frame including information that designates a plurality of frequency components and instructing execution of frequency multiplexing transmission by a plurality of wireless communication terminals; and the receiver is configured to receive the second frame by at least one frequency component of the plurality of frequency components. The first frame has either a first form or a second form, the first form designates individual terminal identifiers of the plurality of wireless communication terminals, the terminal identifiers each being associated with at least one of the plurality of frequency components, and the second form designates a group identifier of a group to which the plurality of wireless communication terminals belong.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first frame including information to specify a plurality of frequency components; and controlling circuitry configured to determine whether a second frame is received via each of the plurality of frequency components. The transmitter is configured to transmit a third frame including first information concerning a first value range which is used to determine whether to respond to the first frame, the first value range being dependent on a number of frequency components via which the second frame has been received.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a receiver configured to receive a plurality of first frames which are transmitted by multiplexing; and a transmitter configured to transmit a second frame containing check results indicating whether the plurality of first frames are successfully received and first information specifying at least one wireless communication device. The receiver is configured to receive a plurality of third frames transmitted by multiplexing in response to the second frame.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device, includes a receiver configured to receive a first field, receive at least one of a plurality of second fields having been multiplexed and transmitted, and decode the one of the second fields to obtain a frame in a case where first information identifying the wireless communication device is not set in the first field, and a controller configured to suppress access to a wireless medium during a period indicated by a value set in the frame.
Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus supports a first scheme and a second scheme. A communication range for the second scheme is narrower than a communication range for the first scheme. Processing circuitry of the apparatus is configured to set first information and second information. If the second scheme is used, the processing circuitry sets a second level greater than a first level for the second information and sets a second power value smaller than a first power value for the first information. The first level and the first power value are used for the first scheme. The second power value is decided based on a receiving sensitivity required for a physical scheme selected by the second scheme.
Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first field containing information to identify a plurality of wireless communication terminals, and configured to multiplex and transmit a plurality of second fields in each of which a first frame containing an address of any of the wireless communication terminals is set; and a controller configured to determine, for the first frames, values pertaining to lengths of durations to suppress access to a wireless medium to the wireless communication terminal having an address different from the address contained in each of the first frames. The transmitter is configured to set the values in the first frames, the second fields, or the first field. The controller is configured to determine the values so that the durations have an end at an identical time.
