Samsung patents Wi-Fi method to skip redundant signal checks
This filing describes a way for Wi-Fi routers to coordinate how they measure signal quality from connected devices. It allows a router to decide if a specific internal signal check is unnecessary and can be removed from the routine sequence to save time.
In the filing’s own words
A method, system, and access point are disclosed for a sequential sounding sequence with an optional intra-basic service set (BSS) sounding. The method, system, and access point determine, with a first access point (AP 1) or a second access point (AP 2), that an AP 1 intra-BSS sounding can be adjusted from a sequential sounding sequence of a station (STA) comprising the AP 1 intra-BSS sounding and an AP 1 cross-BSS sounding of the STA and perform, by the AP 1, with the AP 2, the sequential sounding sequence of the STA based on the determination that the AP 1 intra-BSS sounding can be adjusted from the sequential sounding sequence of the STA.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: determining, by a first access point (AP 1), that an AP 1 intra-basic service set (BSS) sounding can be adjusted from a sequential sounding sequence of a station (STA) comprising the AP 1 intra-BSS sounding and an AP 1 cross-BSS sounding of the STA; and performing, by the AP 1, with a second access point (AP 2), the sequential sounding sequence of the STA based on the determination that the AP 1 intra-BSS sounding can be adjusted from the sequential sounding sequence of the STA.
