TRANSMITTING STATION AND RECEIVING STATION
A transmitting station which is a station that transmits a wireless signal includes a first wireless signal processing unit, a second wireless signal processing unit, and a transmission timing adjustment unit. The first wireless signal processing unit transmits and receives a wireless signal using a first channel. The second wireless signal processing unit transmits and receives a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel. The transmission timing adjustment unit adjusts transmission timings of first data and second data on the basis of a first status associated with the first wireless signal processing unit and a second status associated with the second wireless signal processing unit.
1 . A transmitting station comprising:
a first wireless signal processing unit, comprising one or more processors, configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a first channel;
a second wireless signal processing unit, comprising one or more processors, configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel; and
a transmission timing adjustment unit, comprising one or more processors, configured to adjust transmission timings of first data associated with the first wireless signal processing unit and second data associated with the second wireless signal processing unit,
wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to adjust the transmission timings of the first data and the second data on the basis of a first status associated with the first wireless signal processing unit and a second status associated with the second wireless signal processing unit.
2 . The transmitting station according to claim 1 , wherein the first status is a status of a channel access procedure of the first wireless signal processing unit,
the second status is a status of a channel access procedure of the second wireless signal processing unit, and
the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to manage the first status and the second status.
3 . The transmitting station according to claim 2 , wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to confirm the second status in a case where the first status is a status indicating completion of a channel access procedure.
4 . The transmitting station according to claim 3 , wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to notify the first wireless signal processing unit of an instruction to wait for transmission of the first data in a case where the second status is a status indicating that the channel access procedure is being executed.
5 . The transmitting station according to claim 3 , wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to notify the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit of an instruction to transmit the first data and the second data in a case where the second status is a status indicating completion of the channel access procedure.
6 . The transmitting station according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to receive the first data and the second data and transmit the first data and the second data.
7 . The transmitting station according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission timing adjustment unit is configured to notify the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit of either the same ACK reply timing, a block ACK request (BAR) reply timing, or a data transmission completion timing on the basis of a maximum value of time required for the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit to transmit data.
8 . A receiving station comprising:
a first wireless signal processing unit, comprising one or more processors, configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a first channel; and
a second wireless signal processing unit, comprising one or more processors, configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal using a second channel different from the first channel,
wherein the first wireless signal processing unit and the second wireless signal processing unit are configured to return an ACK to the transmitting station on the basis of an ACK reply timing instruction received from a transmitting station that is configured to transmit a wireless signal.
