Abstract
The present technology relates to a communication device and a communication method that allow an improvement in system throughput. Provided is a communication device including a control unit configured to perform control to exchange, with a first another communication device by means of wireless communication, first information that is used when a plurality of communication devices executes coordinated transmission to share, with the first another communication device, threshold information regarding a sounding time on the basis of the first information. The present technology can be applied to communication devices that constitute a wireless LAN system, for example.
Claims14
A communication device, comprising
- a control unit configured to:
- control exchange of first information with a first communication device via wireless communication, wherein
- the first information is associated with a first plurality of communication devices, and
- the first plurality of communication devices executes coordinated transmission;
- control a sharing process of threshold information, based on the first information, with the first communication device, wherein the threshold information is associated with a sounding process time;
- and
- determine, based on the threshold information, one of re-execution of a sounding process or the execution of the coordinated transmission.
A communication method, comprising
- in a communication device;
- controlling exchange of first information with a first communication device via wireless communication, wherein
- the first information is associated with a plurality of communication devices, and
- the plurality of communication devices executes coordinated transmission;
- controlling a sharing process of threshold information, based on the first information, with the first communication device, wherein the threshold information is associated with a sounding process time;
- and
- determining, based on the threshold information, one of re-execution of a sounding process or the execution of the coordinated transmission.
