  • Publication number: 20220263550
    Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver receives a plurality of first frames each including first information for generation of a trigger frame for uplink multi-user transmission. The transmitter transmits a second frame generated on the basis of the first information included in the plurality of first frames, the second frame being the trigger frame and designating at least one target terminal for the uplink multi-user transmission. Each of the first frames is transmitted by a respective one of terminals, each of which accesses a wireless medium using an access category associated with the first frame under CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Carrier Avoidance) to transmit the first frame. The second frame instructs the at least one target terminal to transmit third frames including data in a SIFS (Short Interframe Space) after the second frame is received.

  • Publication number: 20220163620
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an analysis apparatus includes an interface, a signal receiver and an analysis processor. The interface acquires a received signal of a radar apparatus which transmits and receives a radar signal. The signal receiver monitors presence or absence of a preamble of a wireless LAN packet in the acquired received signal. When the preamble is detected, the signal receiver detects radio wave interference due to the wireless LAN in a band of the received signal. The analysis processor, when the radio wave interference is detected, transmits to the radar apparatus radar control information for controlling a radio wave source which causes the radio wave interference.
