  • Publication number: 20240121023
    Abstract: A wireless communication management apparatus (100) includes a correction unit (1131), an evaluation unit (1132), and a determination unit (1133). The correction unit (1131) corrects, on the basis of a characteristic of each terminal, an error rate in wireless communication between a base station and the terminal based on wireless environment information collected from one or more terminals configured to wirelessly communicate with the base station. The evaluation unit (1132) evaluates the corrected error rate. The determination unit (1133) determines a modulation/demodulation scheme for each terminal on the basis of the evaluation result of the evaluation unit.

  • Publication number: 20240121828
    Abstract: A predetermined STA includes a station information collection unit collecting from the STA itself and other STAs station information used for selection of STAs performing simultaneous transmission and for control of the simultaneous transmission, and a simultaneous-transmission request unit knowing occurrence of a QoS data frame based on the station information and transmitting a request frame requesting the simultaneous transmission to an AP. The AP includes a station information collection unit; a simultaneous-transmission determination unit selecting a combination of the STAs performing the simultaneous transmission based on the station information by reception of the request frame; and a trigger transmission unit transmitting to each of the STAs performing the simultaneous transmission a trigger frame instructing to performs the simultaneous transmission and including information necessary for controlling the simultaneous transmission.

  • Patent number: 11943810
    Abstract: A format that includes a BSSID of a transmitting station within a preamble of the frame is an HE format, and a format that does not include a BSSID within the preamble but includes a BSSID in a MAC header is a Non-HE format; and a wireless station in the BSS includes a control part which checks a format of a frame received at a predetermined receiver sensitivity or above, and continues demodulation of the received frame if the format is HE format and the BSSID in the received frame is consistent with its own BSS, and stops the demodulation of the received frame if the HE format and the BSSID in the received frame is not consistent with its own BSS.

  • Publication number: 20240073822
    Abstract: A wireless communication management apparatus (100) includes a remaining capacity prediction unit (122) and a time setting unit (123). The remaining capacity prediction unit (122) predicts a remaining capacity (BLafter) of a battery (305) at a time point after a predetermined period has passed in a wireless communication device (300) on which the battery (305) is mounted. The time setting unit (123) sets a condition that the remaining capacity (BLafter) of the battery (305) predicted by the remaining capacity prediction unit (122) is greater than an allowable remaining capacity (BLminreq) and each of an operating time (Ton) and a transmittable time (Ttx) of the wireless communication device (300) falls within the reference range, and sets the operating time (Ton) and the transmittable time (Ttx) of the wireless communication device (300) in a state where the condition is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 7402359
    Abstract: A positive terminal 20 for a dry battery of a battery box 1a includes an electrode portion 22 adapted to make contact with the anode of a battery, a soldering portion 13 soldered to the substrate 6, and a lead portion 21 integrally provided between the electrode portion 22 and the soldering portion 13. Further, a load absorbing means is provided in the lead portion 21 to prevent a force exerted in the longitudinal direction of the battery from being applied directly to the soldering portion 13. The lead portion 21 includes an extending part 21a which extends in the longitudinal direction of the battery and is continuous with the electrode portion 22, and a loop part 21b bent in a substantially ring shape and positioned within a plane roughly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the battery, wherein the loop part 21b forms the load absorbing means.
