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.
Claims17
An access point (AP) comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, generates a frame including joint transmission (JT) data and a JT identity that uniquely identifies the JT data;
- and
- a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits the frame to one or more other APs that jointly transmit the JT data to a communication apparatus.
An access point (AP), comprising:
- a receiver, which, in operation, receives from another AP a frame that includes Joint Transmission (JT) data and a JT identity that uniquely identifies the JT data;
- and
- local memory that stores the JT data and the JT identity.
A communication method comprising:
- generating, at a first access point (AP), a frame including joint transmission (JT) data and a JT identity that uniquely identifies the JT data;
- and
- transmitting, from the first AP, the frame to one or more second APs that jointly transmit the JT data to a communication apparatus.
A communication method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more access points (APs), a frame that is transmitted from another AP and that includes Joint Transmission (JT) data and a JT identity that uniquely identifies the JT data;
- and
- storing the JT data and the JT identity in local memory.
