no. 1 Embodiment approach
[0049] figure 1 A functional block diagram of the wireless communication device according to the first embodiment is shown. This wireless communication device can be installed in a wireless communication base station or a wireless communication terminal that communicates with the wireless communication base station. A wireless communication base station (hereinafter referred to as a base station) has the same function as a wireless communication terminal (hereinafter referred to as a terminal) in addition to having a relay function, and thus is one form of a terminal. Basically, the functions of this embodiment can be implemented by either a base station or a non-base station terminal. When referring to a terminal in the following description, the base station may also be included as long as there is no need to distinguish between the two.
[0050]In this embodiment, assume the following situation: the base station allocates multiple channels to multiple terminals other than ...
no. 2 Embodiment approach
[0160] The first embodiment shows that by limiting the channel width of legacy terminals (IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac compliant terminals), high channel utilization efficiency of the system is maintained during MU-MC communication. In this embodiment, it is shown that it is necessary to determine the limitation of the channel width of the legacy terminal, and restrict the channel width of the legacy terminal as necessary.
[0161] The base station judges the limitation of the channel width of the legacy terminal according to the channel width used in the MU-MC communication (or the channel width used in the system). Specifically, it is determined whether to limit the channel width of the legacy terminal based on the channel width used in MU-MC communication and the channel width that the legacy terminal can handle. The timing of the determination takes into account any timing at or after the start of the system.
[0162] Here, in the case of determination at the time of syste...
no. 3 Embodiment approach
[0166] In this embodiment, according to the instruction information of the user, it is judged whether the channel width used by the terminal of the old version can be limited. The user sets instruction information in consideration of, for example, the use of the group (BSS) of the wireless network. For example, when it can be expected that legacy terminals will occupy a large number of users, set information that does not limit the channel width, and when it is expected that MU-MC compatible terminals will occupy a large number, set information that indicates that channel width should be restricted. . The instruction information of the user can be notified to the MAC / PHY management department of the base station via, for example, MIB (Management Information Base, management information base) and MLME (MAC subLayer Management Entity, MAC sublayer management entity) SAP (Service Access Point, service access point) 60.
[0167] For example, it is assumed that the instruction in...
