  • Patent number: 12356373
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. The present implementations more specifically relate to techniques for changing the channel of a Basic Service Set (BSS) when a wireless communication device attempts to monopolize access to a shared wireless medium. In some aspects, an access point (AP) may be configured to detect nonconforming Network Allocation Vectors (NAVs) that extend the duration for which another wireless communication device has already reserved access to a shared wireless medium. For example, the wireless communication device may cause the AP to set a nonconforming NAV by transmitting a packet that reserves the shared wireless medium for a duration overlapping with, but ending later than, another duration for which the same wireless communication device has already reserved the shared medium. In some implementations, the AP may switch its BSS to a different wireless channel in response to detecting one or more nonconforming NAVs.

  • Patent number: 11337152
    Abstract: Provided is a communication technology of an access point and a terminal that may decrease power consumption by changing an operation state of the terminal from an awake state to a sleep state when a data stream to be transmitted to the terminal is absent or has completed in a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration.

  • Patent number: 10389506
    Abstract: A method to regulate a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in a rate adaptation includes: transmitting a frame; determining a status of the transmitted frame; computing a probability of a channel of the transmitted frame being in an idle mode; computing an SNR offset based on the status of the transmitted frame and the probability; and regulating an SNR for transmission, based on the SNR offset.
