  • Publication number: 20250088292
    Abstract: A wireless apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a communication quality index indicating communication quality of a link for each of a plurality of links forming a multi-link with another wireless apparatus; and a multi-link control unit configured to determine whether to suspend use of a first link having the lowest communication quality among the plurality of links based on comparison between the communication quality index for the first link and a first threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250024382
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus includes a determination unit and a transmission unit. The determination unit determines a target of transmission power regulation based on a beacon frame. The transmission unit, in a case where it is determined that the target of regulation is not a transmission power density, transmits a first frame in a first frequency band, and in a case where it is determined that the target of regulation is a transmission power density, transmits a second frame which is a duplicate of the first frame in a second frequency band while transmitting the first frame in the first frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20240430750
    Abstract: A wireless apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a threshold determination unit that determines a threshold used for determining a usage state of a frequency channel, the threshold determination unit setting the threshold to a first value when a first priority that is a priority of a frame to be transmitted is a first priority level and setting the threshold to a second value higher than the first value when the first priority is a second priority level higher than the first priority level, and a carrier sense control unit that determines the usage state of the frequency channel based on a comparison between reception power of a frame detected on the frequency channel by carrier sense and the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240373213
    Abstract: A transmitting station includes a fragmentation unit, a packet number allocation unit, an encryption unit, a wireless signal processing unit, and a retransmission control unit. The fragmentation unit divides data into fragments. The packet number allocation unit allocates a first packet number to the fragments. The encryption unit encrypts the fragments on the basis of the first packet number. The wireless signal processing unit transmits the fragments encrypted as a wireless signal to a receiving station. When retransmitting the data, the retransmission control unit instructs the packet number allocation unit to reset the first packet number to an initial value, requests the receiving station to reset a second packet number managed by the receiving station to an initial value for decryption of the fragments encrypted, and instructs the fragmentation unit to reconfigure an unsuccessfully transmitted fragment.

  • Publication number: 20240340685
    Abstract: An access point of an embodiment includes first and second wireless signal processing units and a link management unit. The link management unit establishes a multi-link with a first wireless terminal apparatus using the first and second wireless signal processing units. The link management unit is capable of setting at least the multi-link to a first operation mode and sets the first and second wireless signal processing units to an intermittent operation mode in the first operation mode. When the multi-link is set to the first operation mode and first data addressed to the first wireless terminal apparatus is input, the link management unit causes at least one wireless signal processing unit associated with a traffic identifier attached to the first data to transmit a beacon signal including information indicating that the first data has been buffered.

  • Publication number: 20240340829
    Abstract: A transmitting station which is a station that transmits a wireless signal includes a first wireless signal processing unit, a second wireless signal processing unit, and a transmission timing adjustment unit. The first wireless signal processing unit transmits and receives a wireless signal using a first channel. The second wireless signal processing unit transmits and receives a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel. The transmission timing adjustment unit adjusts transmission timings of first data and second data on the basis of a first status associated with the first wireless signal processing unit and a second status associated with the second wireless signal processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20240098783
    Abstract: A wireless apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a reception unit configured to receive, on a frequency channel, a frame including first identification information for identifying the priority level of the frame, and a carrier sensing control unit configured to determine a threshold based on the first identification information, and determine a usage state of the frequency channel based on a comparison between received power of the frame and the determined threshold.
