Patent number: 10103790Abstract: A cooperative transmission system and a cooperative transmission method used in multiple access points in a wireless local network are provided. The cooperative transmission system includes a plurality of access points, a clustering controller and at least one cluster controller. Each of the access points serves at least one user device within a serving range of the access point. The clustering controller clusters the access points into a plurality of clusters according to locations of the access points and the serving range. The at least one cluster controller controls cooperative synchronous downlink transmissions among all the access points within a cluster governed by the cluster controller, and the clusters, when intersecting with one another, employ an interference suppression mechanism to eliminate interference generated by the user devices or neighboring access points located in different clusters.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Sau-Hsuan Wu, Hsi-Lu Chao, Chun-Kai Tseng

Patent number: 9917669Abstract: An access point (AP) and a communication system are provided. The access point comprises at least but not limited to a transceiver, a network connection unit, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured for the following steps. The AP receives channel access requests of the user equipments (UEs) from the UEs. Next, the AP transmits a channel request data according to QoS requirements of plurality of channel access requests of the UEs to the server. Afterward, the AP receives resource allocation information associated with the channel request data from the server, wherein the resource allocation information comprises an allocated result of physical channels and transmission power configurations. Subsequently, the AP allocates the physical channels to the UEs according to the QoS requirements of the channel access requests of the UEs and the resource allocation information.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Sau-Hsuan Wu, Hsi-Lu Chao, Chun-Hsien Ko

Patent number: 9379836Abstract: The server receives location data of the access points (APs) and channel request data of the APs corresponding to the location data of the APs. The server groups the channel request data of the APs into clusters according to available physical channels of the APs and the channel request data of the APs. The server allocates the available physical channels of the APs for the channel request data of the APs and transmission power configurations on each of the allocated physical channels of the APs according to the channel request data and the location data of the APs in each of the clusters. The server transmits allocated results of the allocated physical channels of the APs for the channel request data of the APs and the transmission power configurations on each of the allocated physical channels of the APs.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: National Chiao Tung UniversityInventors: Sau-Hsuan Wu, Hsi-Lu Chao, Chun-Hsien Ko
