[0003] In a UHR (Unified Receiver Network), while devices are conducting Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication, other In-Device Coexistence (IDC) services may also be present.

[0132] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0133] As shown in Figure 1, the communication system 100 includes an access point (AP) 101 and a station (STA) 102. The access point includes a first AP 104, and the station 102 includes a first STA 103.

[0134] In some embodiments, the site device 102 and the first STA 103 may include, for example, a wireless communication chip, a wireless sensor, or a wireless communication terminal that supports WiFi communication. Optionally, the wireless communication terminal may be at least one of, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a wearable device, an IoT device that supports WiFi communication, a car with WiFi communication capabilities, a smart car, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal device in industrial control, a wireless terminal device in self-driving, a wireless terminal device in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal device in a smart grid, a wireless terminal device in transportation safety, a wireless terminal device in a smart city, and a wireless terminal device in a smart home.

[0135] Specifically, site device 102 and the first STA 103 can be terminal devices or network devices equipped with Wi-Fi chips. Optionally, site device 102 and the first STA 103 can support various WLAN standards such as 802.11ax, 802.11be, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11bf, and 802.11bn, as well as the next-generation 802.11 protocol, but are not limited to these.

[0136] In some embodiments, access point device 101 can be an access point for mobile terminals to access a wired network. An AP acts as a bridge connecting wired and wireless networks, its main function being to connect various wireless network clients together and then connect the wireless network to an Ethernet network. Specifically, an AP can be a terminal device or network device with a Wi-Fi chip. Optionally, the AP can support various WLAN standards such as 802.11ax, 802.11be, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11bf, and 802.11bn, as well as the next-generation 802.11 protocol, but is not limited to these.

[0137] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, AP and STA can be devices that support multiple connections. For example, they can be represented as Access Point Multi-Link Device (AP MLD) and Non-Access Point Multi-Link Device (Non-AP MLD), respectively. AP MLD can represent an access point that supports multiple connection communication functions, and non-AP MLD can represent a station that supports multiple connection communication functions.

[0138] It is understood that the communication system described in this disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0139] The following embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1, or to some of the main bodies, but are not limited thereto. The main bodies shown in FIG1 are illustrative. The communication system may include all or some of the main bodies in FIG1, or may include other main bodies outside of FIG1. ​​The number and form of each main body are arbitrary. Each main body may be physical or virtual. The connection relationship between the main bodies is illustrative. The main bodies may not be connected or may be connected. The connection can be in any way, it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, it can be a wired connection or a wireless connection.

[0140] The embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), such as LANs using the 802.11 series of protocols. In a WLAN, a Basic Service Set (BSS) is a fundamental component. An BSS network consists of site devices with some association within a specific coverage area. One type of association is where sites communicate directly with each other in a self-organizing network; this is called an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS). Another more common scenario is that in a BSS network, there is only one central site dedicated to managing the BSS, called the Access Point (AP) device, and all other STAs in the network are associated with it. Other sites in the BSS network that are not the central site are called terminals, also known as non-AP STAs; terminals and non-AP STAs are collectively referred to as STAs. When describing STAs, it is not necessary to distinguish between APs and non-AP STAs. Within the same BSS network, due to distance, transmission power, etc., a STA cannot detect other STAs that are far away; they are each other's hidden nodes.

[0141] Figure 2 is one of the interactive schematic diagrams of an IDC service processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes:

[0142] Step 201: If the first AP determines that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it determines whether to send the first radio frame to the site device STA based on whether the following conditions are met:

[0143] The frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or,

[0144] The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna;

[0145] The first radio frame is used to end the current TXOP.

[0146] Currently, in WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communication scenarios, Wi-Fi protocol communication mainly operates in the 2.4G / 5G / 6G Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) frequency bands. These bands are susceptible to interference from other wireless protocols. For example, in addition to supporting Wi-Fi, a STA or AP may also support one or more other wireless communication media, such as Bluetooth (BT), New Radio (NR), Long Time Evolution (LTE), Ultra Wide Band (UWB), and Zigbee. When a device is conducting Wi-Fi communication, it generates periodic or non-periodic communication tasks using other communication media (hereinafter referred to as other communication services). This means that multiple communication media can coexist at the same time. When multiple wireless communication media communicate using the same frequency, co-channel interference occurs, leading to reduced device performance, decreased system throughput, increased communication latency, and hindering the transmission of communication services.

[0147] It is understood that in the embodiments of this disclosure, other communication services may be non-periodic communication services, such as temporary communication services or bursty communication services.

[0148] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for IDC services, interference from other protocol service transmissions can be avoided by using Initial Control Frames (ICF) and Initial Control Responses (ICR) frames between the Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) Holder and the TXOP Responder. Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the ICF can be a Multi-user Request to Send (MU-RTS) frame, a Buffer Status Report Poll (BSRP) frame, or other frames; this embodiment of the disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0149] Specifically, TXOP refers to a bounded period of time during which a device can transmit a specific type of communication. Within the current TXOP, if the first AP determines that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it further determines whether condition one and / or condition two are satisfied, i.e., whether at least one of condition one and condition two is satisfied. Then, the first AP sends a first radio frame to the site device STA to end the current TXOP through the first radio frame.

[0150] Normally, due to the limitations of TXOP, other devices need to wait until TXOP ends before competing for air interface resources. However, if the duration of sudden interference caused by IDC services exceeds the remaining period of TXOP, Wi-Fi services cannot transmit during the remaining period of TXOP due to the presence of IDC services. Therefore, during the remaining period of TXOP, only IDC services may utilize air interface resources, resulting in low utilization and wasted bandwidth.

[0151] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in the above situation, the first AP can send a radio frame to end the current TXOP, thereby releasing unused air interface resources and allowing other devices to compete for air interface resources to improve air interface resource utilization.

[0152] Specifically, in this embodiment of the disclosure, if it is determined that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it is further determined whether condition one and / or condition two are met, and then it is determined whether to send the first wireless frame.

[0153] Specifically, condition one: the frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service.

[0154] If the frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, there will inevitably be co-channel interference, meaning that the Wi-Fi service cannot be transmitted. In this case, the first AP sends the first wireless frame to end the current TXOP and release unused air interface resources.

[0155] Condition 2: The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share a common antenna;

[0156] If the IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna, there will inevitably be an interference problem, meaning that the Wi-Fi service cannot be transmitted. In this case, the first AP sends the first wireless frame to end the current TXOP and release unused air interface resources.

[0157] Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the first radio frame may be a contention-free-end (CF-End) frame. Other site devices that receive the first radio frame set their Network Allocation Vector (NAV) to zero to re-compete for the channel.

[0158] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, the first AP determines whether to send a first radio frame to the site device STA based on whether the frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or whether the IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna. If the above conditions are met, the first AP sends a first radio frame to end the current TXOP, release unused air interface resources, and allow other devices to compete for air interface resources to improve the utilization rate of air interface resources.

[0159] It is understood that in this embodiment of the disclosure, if the frequency band occupied by the IDC service does not overlap with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and the IDC service does not share an antenna with the Wi-Fi service, then the first AP will not send the first wireless frame to the site device STA.

[0160] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the provided AP may or may not include the first AP; the provided STA may or may not include the first STA, and the comparison of the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited.

[0161] Figure 3 is a second interactive schematic diagram of the IDC service processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As an example, as shown in Figure 4, the first AP is the TXOP Holder of the current TXOP, and the IDC device transmitting IDC services is the first STA (STA1). STA2 can only detect the signal of the first AP, and the first AP can detect the signals of STA1 and STA2; STA1 can detect the signal of the first AP; wherein, the first AP and STA1 have completed network formation and are currently within a TXOP cycle.

[0162] As shown in Figure 3, the above method includes:

[0163] Step 301: The first AP sends an ICF frame to the first STA and receives an ICR frame from the first STA; wherein the ICR frame carries the time information of the IDC service; the time information includes the start time and duration.

[0164] In this scenario, the first STA is engaged in IDC service within the current TXOP. If it receives an ICF frame (including an inquiry about IDC service) sent by the first AP, the first STA, as the TXOP Responder, will send an ICR to the first AP carrying the time information of the IDC service. The time information includes the start time and duration, and may also carry the frequency information, spatial flow information, etc. of the IDC service.

[0165] In addition, after receiving the ICR, the TXOP Holder can choose an appropriate method to avoid IDC interference based on the IDC service information carried in the ICR. Various measures such as delaying packet transmission and reception, switching channels, and switching transceiver antennas can be taken to reduce the impact of interference and improve air interface transmission efficiency.

[0166] Step 302: Determine the transmission time of the IDC service based on the time information of the IDC service.

[0167] The first AP calculates the final IDC service time period based on the IDC service startup time and duration obtained from the ICR, compares whether the IDC time period has exceeded the remaining time of the current TXOP period, and then makes the next determination.

[0168] Step 303: If the first AP determines that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it determines whether to send the first radio frame to the site device STA based on whether the following conditions are met:

[0169] The frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or,

[0170] The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna;

[0171] The first radio frame is used to end the current TXOP.

[0172] The first AP sends the first radio frame to end the current TXOP, releases unused air interface resources, and allows other devices to compete for air interface resources, thereby improving the utilization rate of air interface resources.

[0173] After step 303, steps 304, 305, or 306 can be executed.

[0174] Step 304: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service does not overlap with the operating channel frequency of other Wi-Fi services under the BSS where the first AP is located, then the first AP and other STAs shall continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively.

[0175] Here, "other Wi-Fi services" refers to Wi-Fi services within the BSS where the first AP is located, excluding the Wi-Fi services transmitted within the current TXOP. For ease of description, the Wi-Fi services transmitted within the current TXOP will be referred to as "the first Wi-Fi service." Correspondingly, "other Wi-Fi services" refers to Wi-Fi services within the BSS where the first AP is located, excluding the first Wi-Fi service. As shown in Figure 4, "other Wi-Fi services" can be the Wi-Fi services transmitted between STA2 and the first AP.

[0176] If the frequency of the working channel of other Wi-Fi services does not overlap with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, then the first AP and other STAs will continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively; for example, if the transmission frequency of the Wi-Fi service transmitted by STA2 and the first AP does not overlap with the transmission frequency of the IDC service of STA1, then after the first AP sends the first wireless frame, the Wi-Fi service transmitted by STA2 and the first AP can continue.

[0177] It is understood that in this embodiment, other STAs refer to STAs that are not related to the transmission of IDC services; for example, STA2 in Figure 4.

[0178] Step 305: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi service, and the transmission power of the IDC service is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi service, then the other STAs continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0179] If the operating frequency of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, and other STAs cannot detect the signal of the IDC device, then the other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services. The IDC service will not affect other STAs' access to the channel through the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) mechanism, and the other Wi-Fi services will not affect the transmission of the IDC service. However, since the first AP can detect the signal of STA1, if the first AP continues to transmit the other Wi-Fi services, the IDC service will affect the other Wi-Fi services transmitted by the first AP.

[0180] Step 306: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi services, and the transmission power of the IDC service is less than the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, then the first AP and the other STAs shall continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively.

[0181] If the frequency of the operating channel of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is less than that of the other Wi-Fi services, then the first AP and other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services without affecting the transmission of the IDC service; the IDC service will also not affect other STAs from accessing the channel through the EDCA mechanism.

[0182] Figure 5 is a third interactive schematic diagram of an IDC service processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As an example, as shown in Figure 4, the first AP is the TXOP Holder of the current TXOP, and the IDC device transmitting the IDC service is the first AP.

[0183] STA2 can only detect the signal of the first AP, and the first AP can detect the signals of STA1 and STA2; STA1 can detect the signal of the first AP; among them, the first AP and STA1 have completed networking and are currently in a TXOP cycle.

[0184] As shown in Figure 5, the above method includes:

[0185] Step 501: When the first AP receives an IDC service, the first AP determines the transmission time of the IDC service based on the time information of the IDC service; the time information includes the start time and the duration.

[0186] The first AP calculates the final IDC service time period based on the IDC service startup time and duration, compares whether the IDC time period has exceeded the remaining time of the current TXOP period, and then makes the next determination.

[0187] Step 502: If the first AP determines that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it determines whether to send the first radio frame to the site device STA based on whether the following conditions are met:

[0188] The frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or,

[0189] The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna;

[0190] The first radio frame is used to end the current TXOP.

[0191] The first AP sends the first radio frame to end the current TXOP, releases unused air interface resources, and allows other devices to compete for air interface resources, thereby improving the utilization rate of air interface resources.

[0192] After step 502, steps 503 and 504 can be executed.

[0193] Step 503: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service does not overlap with the operating channel frequency of other Wi-Fi services under the BSS where the first AP is located, then the first STA and other STAs continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0194] As shown in Figure 4, other Wi-Fi services can be the Wi-Fi services transmitted between STA2 and the first AP.

[0195] If the frequency of other Wi-Fi service operating channels does not overlap with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, then the first STA and other STAs can continue to transmit their respective other Wi-Fi services; for example, if the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA2 and STA1 do not overlap with the transmission frequency of the IDC service of the first AP, then after the first AP sends the first wireless frame, the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA2 and STA1 can continue.

[0196] Step 504: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi services, and the transmission power of the IDC service is less than the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, then the first AP and other STAs (STA1 and STA2 in Figure 4) continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0197] If the frequency of the operating channel of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is less than that of the other Wi-Fi services, then other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services without affecting the transmission of the IDC service; the IDC service will also not affect other STAs from accessing the channel through the EDCA mechanism.

[0198] It is understandable that if the power of the IDC service of the first AP reaches the transmission power of other Wi-Fi services, the IDC service will affect the transmission of the other Wi-Fi services since both STA1 and STA2 can detect the signal of the first AP.

[0199] Figure 6 is a fourth interactive schematic diagram of the IDC service processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As an example, as shown in Figure 7, the first STA is the TXOP Holder of the current TXOP, and the IDC service transmitting STA is the first STA (STA1). The AP can detect the signals of STA1 and STA3, STA2 can only detect the signal of STA1, STA1 can detect the signals of the AP and STA2, and STA3 can only detect the signal of the AP. The AP and STA1 have already completed network formation; and the AP and STA1 are currently within a TXOP cycle.

[0200] As shown in Figure 6, the above method includes:

[0201] Step 601: When STA1 receives an IDC service, the first STA determines the transmission time of the IDC service based on the time information of the IDC service; the time information includes the start time and the duration.

[0202] STA1 calculates the final IDC service time period based on the IDC service startup time and duration, compares whether the IDC time period has exceeded the remaining time of the current TXOP period, and then makes the next determination.

[0203] Step 602: If the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, determine whether to send the first radio frame based on whether the following conditions are met:

[0204] The frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or,

[0205] The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna;

[0206] The first radio frame is used to end the current TXOP.

[0207] After receiving the first radio frame, the AP or other STA can respond to the first radio frame and compete for access to the channel.

[0208] After step 602, steps 604, 605, or 606 can be executed.

[0209] Step 603: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service does not overlap with the working channel frequency of other Wi-Fi services under the BSS where the AP is located, then the AP and other STAs shall continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively.

[0210] If the IDC service frequency of STA1 does not overlap with the current Wi-Fi operating channel under the BSS, then the AP and other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services. As shown in Figure 7, the other Wi-Fi services can be the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA2, STA3, and the AP.

[0211] Step 604: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi service, and the transmission power of the IDC service is equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi service, then the other STAs continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0212] If the operating frequency of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, and other STAs cannot detect the signal of the IDSTA, then the other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services. For example, STA3 in Figure 7 can only detect the AP signal and cannot detect the IDSTA signal. The IDC service will not affect other STAs accessing the channel through the EDCA mechanism, and other Wi-Fi services will not affect the transmission of the IDC service. However, since STA1 can detect the signal of STA2, if STA2 continues to transmit the other Wi-Fi services, it will affect the transmission of the IDC service.

[0213] Step 605: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi services, and the transmission power of the IDC service is less than the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, then the AP and other STAs shall continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively.

[0214] If the frequency of the operating channel of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is less than that of the other Wi-Fi services, then the AP and other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services without affecting the transmission of the IDC service; the IDC service will also not affect other STAs from accessing the channel through the EDCA mechanism.

[0215] Figure 8 is a fifth interactive schematic diagram of an IDC service processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As an example, as shown in Figure 9, the first STA (STA1) is the TXOP Holder of the current TXOP, and the IDC device transmitting IDC services is the third STA (STA3). STA2 can only detect the signal of STA1, STA1 can detect the signals of STA2 and STA3, and STA3 can detect the signal of STA1. STA1 and STA3 have completed peer-to-peer (P2P) networking and are currently within a TXOP cycle.

[0216] Step 801: The first STA sends an ICF frame to the third STA and receives an ICR frame from the third STA; wherein the ICR frame carries the time information of the IDC service; the time information includes the start time and duration.

[0217] In this scenario, the third STA is involved in IDC services within the current TXOP. If it receives an ICF frame (including an inquiry about IDC services) sent by the first STA, the third STA, as the TXOP Responder, will send an ICR to the first STA carrying the time information of the IDC services. The time information includes the start time and duration, and may also carry frequency information, spatial stream information, etc. of the IDC services.

[0218] In addition, after receiving the ICR, the TXOP Holder can choose an appropriate method to avoid IDC interference based on the IDC service information carried in the ICR. Various measures such as delaying packet transmission and reception, switching channels, and switching transceiver antennas can be taken to reduce the impact of interference and improve air interface transmission efficiency.

[0219] Step 802: Determine the transmission time of the IDC service based on the time information of the IDC service.

[0220] The first STA calculates the final IDC service time period based on the IDC service startup time and duration obtained from the ICR, compares whether the IDC time period has exceeded the remaining time of the current TXOP period, and then makes the next determination.

[0221] Step 803: If the first STA determines that the transmission time of the IDC service is greater than the remaining time of the current TXOP, it determines whether to send the first radio frame based on whether the following conditions are met:

[0222] The frequency band occupied by the IDC service overlaps with the frequency band occupied by the Wi-Fi service, and / or,

[0223] The IDC service and the Wi-Fi service share an antenna;

[0224] The first radio frame is used to end the current TXOP.

[0225] The first STA sends the first radio frame to end the current TXOP, releasing unused air interface resources and allowing other devices to compete for air interface resources, thereby improving the utilization rate of air interface resources.

[0226] STA1 can optionally send the first radio frame to reset its own NAV. STA2 and STA3 will reset the device's NAV and end TXOP when they detect this frame.

[0227] After step 803, steps 804, 805, or 806 can be executed.

[0228] Step 804: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service does not overlap with the operating channel frequency of other Wi-Fi services under the BSS where the first STA is located, then the first STA and the other STAs shall continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively.

[0229] Here, "other Wi-Fi services" refers to Wi-Fi services within the BSS of the first STA, excluding those transmitted within the current TXOP. For ease of description, the Wi-Fi services transmitted within the current TXOP will be referred to as "second Wi-Fi services." Correspondingly, "other Wi-Fi services" refers to Wi-Fi services within the BSS of the AP, excluding the second Wi-Fi services. As shown in Figure 9, "other Wi-Fi services" can be the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA2 and STA3.

[0230] If the frequency of the working channel of other Wi-Fi services does not overlap with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, then the first STA and the other STAs will continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services respectively; for example, if the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA1 and STA2 do not overlap with the transmission frequency of STA1's IDC service, then after STA1 sends the first wireless frame, the Wi-Fi services transmitted by STA1 and STA2 can continue.

[0231] Step 805: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi service, and the transmission power of the IDC service is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi service, then the other STAs continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0232] If the operating frequency of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is greater than or equal to the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, then other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services. The IDC service will not affect other STAs' access to the channel via the EDCA mechanism, and the other Wi-Fi services will not affect the transmission of the IDC service. However, since STA1 can detect the signal of STA3, if STA1 continues to transmit the other Wi-Fi services, the IDC service will affect STA1's Wi-Fi service transmission.

[0233] Step 806: If the transmission frequency of the IDC service overlaps with the frequency of the working channel of the other Wi-Fi services, and the transmission power of the IDC service is less than the transmission power of the other Wi-Fi services, then the third STA and the other STAs continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services.

[0234] If the frequency of the operating channel of other Wi-Fi services overlaps with the transmission frequency of the IDC service, but the transmission power of the IDC service is less than that of the other Wi-Fi services, then the third STA and other STAs can continue to transmit the other Wi-Fi services without affecting the transmission of the IDC service; the IDC service will also not affect other STAs from accessing the channel through the EDCA mechanism.
