Abstract
An indicator in a master AP from among a plurality of APs obtains communication quality of communication with an AP which is a communication partner. In the case where the obtained communication quality is less than a threshold, the indicator causes the plurality of APs including the master AP to perform cooperative operation to transmit data. In the case where the obtained communication quality is not less than the threshold, the indicator causes the plurality of APs including the master AP to stop the cooperative operation.
Claims5
A communication system comprising:
- a first access point (AP) fixedly located in a first location;
- a second AP fixedly located in the first location;
- a control circuit located in the first location and configured to control the first AP and the second AP to unicast such that:
- in a first period, the first AP and the second AP unicast first data and second data to a reception device simultaneously at a first frequency channel, respectively, the first data being same as the second data;
- and
- in a second period, the first AP unicasts third data to the reception device and the second AP does not unicast to the reception device;
- and
- the reception device fixedly located in a second location within communication areas of the first AP and the second AP.
