Samsung patents Wi-Fi routers that share data to boost signal
This filing describes a method where two Wi-Fi routers exchange information about which devices they can see clearly. By sharing this data, the routers can coordinate their signals to send data to specific devices more efficiently.
In the filing’s own words
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for coordinated beamforming transmission between a first access point and a second access point. The method includes transmitting, at the first access point to the second access point, an invitation for a coordinated beamforming transmission that proposes a set of candidate stations associated with the first access point. The method includes receiving, at the first access point, a response that embeds an overlapping basic service set channel state information status identifying stations associated with the first access point for which the second access point has valid channel state information. The method includes using the overlapping basic service set channel state information statuses carried in the invitation and the response to select stations for the coordinated beamforming transmission.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method for coordinated beamforming transmission between a first access point and a second access point in a wireless local area network, the method comprising: transmitting, at the first access point to the second access point and during a coordinated beamforming transmission stage, an invitation for a coordinated beamforming transmission that proposes a set of candidate stations associated with the first access point, the invitation including a first overlapping basic service set channel state information status that identifies stations associated with the second access point for which the first access point has valid channel state information; receiving, at the first access point during the coordinated beamforming transmission stage, a response that embeds a second overlapping basic service set channel state information status identifying stations associated with the first access point for which the second access point has valid channel state information; and using the first and second overlapping basic service set channel state information statuses carried in the invitation and the response to select stations for the coordinated beamforming transmission.
