Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A wireless communication method, applied to a wireless communication device to decide uplink parameters, comprising:

(a) determining which one of candidate stations can be at least one target station which can perform uplink transmissions to the wireless communication device;

(b) calculating a number of the at least one target station;

(c) allocating a Resource Unit (RU) to one of the at least one target station according to the number and pre-recorded reference allocation information, to generate the uplink parameters comprising RU allocation parameters which represent RU allocation for the one of the at least one target station; and

(d) generating a trigger frame comprising the uplink parameters and transmitting the trigger frame to the one of the at least one target station.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication method follows a WiFi 802.11ax standard.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 ,

wherein the step (b) further comprises determining if the number can be supported by the wireless communication device;

wherein the step (c) and the step (d) are performed if the number can be supported by the wireless communication device;

wherein the wireless communication device polls the at least one target station for required uplink resources if the number cannot be supported by the wireless communication device.

4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the step (c) allocates the RU to the one of the at least one target station in sequence from a low frequency to a high frequency.

wherein the wireless communication device further determines if the number can be supported by the wireless communication device, the trigger frame is generated if the number can be supported;

wherein the wireless communication device polls the at least one target station for required uplink resources if the number cannot be supported.

10. A wireless communication device, comprising:

a transmission interface; and

a processing circuit, coupled to the transmission interface;

wherein the processing circuit executes at least one program to perform a wireless communication method which comprises:

(a) determining which one of candidate stations can be at least one target station which can perform uplink transmissions to the wireless communication device;

(b) calculating a number of the at least one target station;

(c) allocating a Resource Unit (RU) to one of the at least one target station according to the number and pre-recorded reference allocation information, to generate the uplink parameters comprising RU allocation parameters which represent RU allocation for the one of the at least one target station; and

(d) generating a trigger frame comprising the uplink parameters and transmitting the trigger frame to the one of the at least one target station.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless communication method follows a WiFi 802.11ax standard.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 10 ,

wherein the step (b) further comprises determining if the number can be supported by the wireless communication device;
