Abstract
An access point (AP) includes circuitry, which, in operation, generates a frame that includes joint transmission (JT) data and a JT identity that uniquely identifies the JT data. The access point further includes a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the frame to one or more APs that jointly transmit the JT data to a communication apparatus.
Claims8
An integrated circuit for an access point (AP), the integrated circuit comprising:
- at least one input, which, in operation, inputs an electronic signal;
- and controller circuitry, which, in operation, controls:
- generating a frame including multi-AP coordinated transmission data and a multi-AP coordinated transmission identity that uniquely identifies the multi-AP coordinated transmission data;
- transmitting the frame to one or more other APs that transmit the multi-AP coordinated transmission data to a communication apparatus;
- generating a trigger frame that includes the multi-AP coordinated transmission identity of the multi-AP coordinated transmission data;
- and
- transmitting the trigger frame to the one or more other APs.
