Patent number: 12052679Abstract: An AP 3 and STAs 5 acquire time information from an external device, and synchronize time. The AP 3 sets, in a first signal, a transmission start time of the first signal, and transmits the first signal to the STA 5. The STAs 5 transmit, to the AP 3, a second signal in which a delay time is set, the delay time being calculated from a difference between the transmission start time acquired from the first signal and a reception start time of the first signal at the own station. The AP 3 acquires delay time from the second signal of each STA 5, decides a timing for permitting transmission by each of the STAs 5 by time division, on the basis of the acquired delay time, and notifies the STAs 5 thereof. The STAs 5 each effect control to start transmission of signals to the AP 3 at the timing notified from the AP 3.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Mizuki Suga, Nobuaki Otsuki, Kota Ito, Naoki Kita
