WLAN Sensing Feedback Timing via Setup Procedure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless local area network (WLAN) sensing measurements, there is a lack of clear indication for a responder to provide feedback on measurement reports during the measurement exchange process.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves determining and sending 'first time information' by the initiator of sensing in WLAN, which indicates the feedback occasion for measurement reports during the setup procedure of WLAN sensing measurements. This information allows the responder to accurately determine when to feed back measurement reports based on the indicated feedback occasions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If measurement reports are fed back without clear time indication, then the sensing measurement process can proceed, but the feedback timing is unclear leading to reduced measurement efficiency and accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The initiator sends first time information during the measurement setup procedure to indicate the feedback occasion in advance. This preliminary action allows the responder to prepare and send measurement reports at the correct timing, eliminating timing uncertainties and improving feedback accuracy without extending the overall measurement time.
2Reliability
If first time information is sent during measurement setup procedure, then feedback timing is clearly indicated, but the setup procedure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The first time information is integrated into the existing measurement setup procedure rather than being sent as a separate standalone message. By merging the time indication functionality into the setup procedure, the patent avoids increasing procedural complexity while still achieving clear feedback timing indication.
