  • Patent number: 7813317
    Abstract: Data packets are transmitted between two STAs capable of using plural radio channels and MIMO together, by using idle channels and MIMO. When at least one idle channel has been detected, plural data packets are generated in the same number as the sum of MIMO numbers of the respective idle channels, in which the data packets are generated from one or plural data frames, and plural data packets having the same packet time length are transmitted simultaneously between the two STAs by using the idle channels and MIMO.

  • 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.
