  • Patent number: 7760686
    Abstract: A plurality of types of available transmission rates to be used for transmission of data packets are individually managed for each receiver terminal. When there are a plurality of data packets to be transmitted onto a transmission buffer and when it is possible to transmit said plurality of data packets simultaneously, the packet sizes representative of the data amounts of the respective data packets are referred to as well as the transmission rates of the respective data packets associated with the receiver terminals. The packet time lengths (transmission times) defined by the packet sizes and transmission rates are checked for the respective data packets. A plurality of data packets whose packet time lengths are approximately equal to each other are selected regardless of their receiver terminals. The transmissions of the plurality of selected data packets are commenced simultaneously by use of a plurality of radio channels.

  • Patent number: 7668143
    Abstract: For data packet transmission in special format generated by connecting or patching data frames, a request packet and reply packet receivable only by STAs supporting the special format are transmitted/received before the data packet transmission, to check and manage the STA supporting the special format. Based on management information in own station, the data packet is transmitted in the special or standard format according to a receive-side STA. For generating plural data packets in special format in which plural data frames are patched, the plural data frames having subheaders added are connected and divided to data blocks. A main header including information necessary to restore patched data frames are added to each data block, and a control information field and a frame check field of a data packet are added before and after the data block having the main header added thereto, respectively, to generate data packets.

  • Patent number: 7545781
    Abstract: A transmit-side STA transmits a wireless packet using a wireless channel which has been determined to be idle by both a physical carrier sense for determining based on received power whether the wireless channel is busy or idle and a virtual carrier sense for determining the wireless channel to be busy during set transmission inhibition time. At this time, the transmit-side STA sets transmission time used for the virtual carrier sense to a paired wireless channel which is affected by leakage from a transmitting wireless channel. This allows for setting transmission inhibition time to a paired wireless channel even when the paired wireless channel cannot successfully receive due to the effect caused by leakage from the transmitting wireless channel.

  • Patent number: 7400616
    Abstract: A plurality of data packets that contain sequence numbers, respectively, are transmitted simultaneously between two STAs by using a wireless channel and MIMO. An STA receiving the plurality of data packets transmitted simultaneously by using MIMO generates a single ACK packet containing information that corresponds to a sequence number of each data packet successfully received, and transmits the single ACK packet to a transmit-side STA without using MIMO. Thus, a ratio of successful ACK packet receptions to total receptions can be increased. An effect of improving throughput achieved by simultaneous transmission can also be ensured.
