Abstract
An electronic device that controls changing a carrier sense detection threshold or disabling transmission suppression based on a communication quality of at least one of a first frame of which an intended destination is not the electronic device and a second frame transmitted in response to the first frame in a case that the transmission suppression is initially set.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory storing link quality information;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- determine a communication quality of at least one of a first frame of which an intended destination is not the electronic device and a second frame transmitted in response to the first frame in a case that transmission suppression is initially set;
- determine a source address and a destination address of the first frame;
- determine whether the link quality information for the source address and the destination address is available;
- upon a determination that the link quality information is not available, enable transmission suppression;
- upon a determination that the link quality information is available, determine whether the communication quality of said at least one of the first frame and the second frame satisfies a predetermined criterion relating to the link quality information;
- upon a determination that the predetermined criterion is met, disable the transmission suppression;
- and
- upon a determination that the predetermined criterion is not met, enable the transmission suppression.

A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining, by circuitry of the electronic device, a communication quality of at least one of a first frame of which an intended destination is not the electronic device and a second frame transmitted in response to the first frame in a case that transmission suppression is initially set;
- determining, by the circuitry of the electronic device, a source address and a destination address of the first frame;
- determining, by the circuitry of the electronic device, whether link quality information for the source address and the destination address is available;
- upon a determination that the link quality information is not available, enabling, by the circuitry of the electronic device, transmission suppression;
- upon a determination that the link quality information is available, determining, by the circuitry of the electronic device, whether the communication quality of said at least one of the first frame and the second frame satisfies a predetermined criterion relating to the link quality information;
- upon a determination that the predetermined criterion is met, disabling, by the circuitry of the electronic device, the transmission suppression;
- and
- upon a determination that the predetermined criterion is not met, enabling, by the circuitry of the electronic device, the transmission suppression.
