Abstract

A wireless communication device includes: a transmission unit that transmits a request frame indicating a request for traffic information; a receiving unit that receives a response frame in which the traffic information is stored; and a control unit that controls transmission of a frame related to permission of transmission directed to a first wireless communication device that is identified on the basis of the traffic information stored in the received response frame and that is permitted to perform multiple access. A wireless communication device includes: a receiving unit that receives a request frame indicating a request for traffic information; a transmission unit that transmits a release frame is which the traffic information is stored in response to the received request frame; and a control unit that controls transmission of a frame related to the traffic information on the basis of a communication parameter related to multiple access.

Claims (32)

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

circuitry configured to

transmit a request frame indicating a request for traffic information, the traffic information including information indicating whether or not there is specific traffic, the specific traffic including traffic related to urgency of delivery and communication control;

receive a response frame in which the traffic information is stored; and

control transmission of a frame related to permission of transmission directed to a first wireless communication device that is identified on a basis of the traffic information stored in the received response frame and that is permitted to perform multiple access.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the specific traffic includes traffic corresponding to a specific priority.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic related to urgency includes traffic that is discarded in a time that is equal to or less than a threshold value.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic related to urgency includes traffic with an allowable delay that is equal to or less than a threshold value.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic related to urgency includes traffic designated by a generation source of the traffic.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic information includes information indicating an amount of the specific traffic.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the traffic information includes information indicating a total amount of traffic that the first wireless communication device holds.

8. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wireless communication device identified on a basis of the traffic information includes a first wireless communication device that holds traffic identified from the traffic information.

9. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein designated traffic information indicating traffic that the first wireless communication device is caused to transmit is stored in the frame related to permission of transmission.

10. The wireless communication device according to claim 9 , wherein the control unit excludes a transmission source of a frame in which traffic that is different from the traffic indicated by the designated traffic information is stored, as a target that is permitted to perform transmission.

11. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the multiple access includes orthogonal frequency division multiple access or space division multiple access.

12. A wireless communication device comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive a request frame indicating a request for traffic information the traffic information including information indicating whether or not there is specific traffic, the specific traffic including traffic related to urgency of delivery and communication control;

transmit a response frame in which the traffic information is stored in response to the received request frame; and

control transmission of a frame related to the traffic information on a basis of a communication parameter related to multiple access, which are stored in a frame related to permission of transmission that is received after the transmission of the response frame.

13. The wireless communication device according to claim 12 ,

wherein designated traffic information indicating traffic is stored in the frame related to permission of transmission, and

traffic that the designated traffic information indicates is stored in the frame related to the traffic information.

14. The wireless communication device according to claim 12 , wherein the response frame includes a frame communicated for a purpose other than communication of the traffic information.

15. A wireless communication method comprising, using a processor:

transmitting a request frame that indicates a request for traffic information, the traffic information including information indicating whether or not there is specific traffic, the specific traffic including traffic related to urgency of delivery and communication control;

receiving a response frame in which the traffic information is stored; and

controlling transmission of a frame related to permission of transmission directed to a first wireless communication device that is identified on a basis of the traffic information stored in the received response frame and that is permitted to perform multiple access.

16. A wireless communication method comprising, using a processor:

receiving a request frame indicating a request for traffic information, the traffic information including information indicating whether or not there is specific traffic, the specific traffic including traffic related to urgency of delivery and communication control;

transmitting a response frame in which the traffic information is stored in response to the received request frame, and

controlling transmission of a frame related to the traffic information on a basis of a communication parameter related to multiple access, which are stored in a frame related to permission of transmission that is received after the transmission of the response frame.
