  • Publication number: 20200351913
    Abstract: A transmitting apparatus generates at least one of a first type of schedule element supporting an allocation involving a single channel and a second type of schedule element supporting an allocation involving a plurality of channels and transmits a MAC frame including the generated at least one schedule element over a first channel. When the allocation involving the plurality of channels includes the first channel, the transmitting apparatus generates a first type of schedule element including information regarding the allocation involving the plurality of channels and generates the second type of schedule element including difference information, and when the allocation involving the plurality of channels does not include the first channel, the transmitting apparatus omits the generation of the first type of schedule element and generates the second type of schedule element including all the information regarding the allocation involving the plurality of channels.

  • Publication number: 20200313740
    Abstract: In a case where an A-BFT period is not present in a BI, a PCP/AP uses a format that includes an Unsolicited RSS Enabled sub-field for indicating support for responding to unsolicited RSSs within a CBAP, for a Beacon Interval Control field of a DMG beacon frame used for executing a BTI-ISS. For example, in a case where it is indicated that responding to unsolicited RSSs within a CBAP is supported, the PCP/AP sets the value of the Unsolicited RSS Enabled sub-field to 1. In a case where the value of the Unsolicited RSS Enabled sub-field included in a received DMG beacon frame is 1, a STA responds with an unsolicited CBAP-RSS.

  • Patent number: 10749625
    Abstract: A header encoding unit performs bit scramble and LDPC encoding on the PHY control data to generate L-Header and EDMG-Header data. A modulation unit encodes the L-Header and the E-Header output from the header encoding unit. In addition, the modulation unit duplicates the data of the L-Header and the E-Header in accordance with the bandwidth of the channel notified by an RF control unit and arranges the data on a plurality of channels. The modulation unit further modulates one piece of the payload data divided by a payload data dividing unit.
