Wireless communication method supporting reverse report and related wireless communication system
View Patent ↗A wireless communication method includes: sending a request frame to a responder, wherein the request frame includes a first message arranged to indicate what information the initiator supports; receiving a measurement frame from a responder, wherein the measurement frame includes a second message arranged to indicate what information the responder requires; and sending a report frame to the responder, wherein the report frame includes the information the responder requires.
1. A wireless communication method employed by an initiator, comprising:
sending a request frame to a responder, wherein the request frame comprises a first message arranged to indicate information supported by the initiator, and the information supported by the initiator comprises at least one of a timing report, a ranging report and a location report;
receiving a measurement frame from the responder, wherein the measurement frame comprises a second message arranged to indicate information required by the responder, and the information required by the responder comprises at least one of the timing report, the ranging report and the location report; and
sending a report frame to the responder, wherein the report frame comprises the information required by the responder.
2. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the first message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is supported by the initiator.
3. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the second message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is required by the responder.
4. The wireless communication method of claim 1 , wherein the initiator is a station and the responder is an access point or a station.
5. A wireless communication method employed by a responder, comprising:
receiving a request frame from an initiator, wherein the request frame comprises a first message arranged to indicate information supported by the initiator, and the information supported by the initiator comprises at least one of a timing report, a ranging report and a location report;
sending a measurement frame to the initiator, wherein the measurement frame comprises a second message arranged to indicate information required by the responder, and the information required by the responder comprises at least one of the timing report, the ranging report and the location report; and
receiving a report frame from the initiator, wherein the report frame comprises the information required by the responder.
6. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the initiator is a station and the responder is an access point or a station.
7. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the first message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is supported by the initiator.
8. The wireless communication method of claim 5 , wherein the second message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is required by the responder.
9. A wireless communication system, comprising:
an initiator; and
a responder;
wherein the responder is arranged to send a measurement frame to the initiator after receiving a request frame from the initiator, and the initiator is arranged to send a report frame to the responder after receiving the measurement frame; the request frame comprises a first message for indicating information supported by the initiator, and the information supported by the initiator comprises at least one of a timing report, a ranging report and a location report, the measurement frame comprises a second message for indicating information required by the responder, and the information required by the responder comprises at least one of the timing report, the ranging report and the location report, and the report frame comprises the information required by the responder.
10. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the second message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is required by the responder.
11. The wireless communication method of claim 9 , wherein the initiator is a station and the responder is an access point.
12. The wireless communication system of claim 9 , wherein the first message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is supported by the initiator.
13. A wireless communication method, comprising:
sending a measurement frame to an initiator after receiving a request frame from the initiator; and
sending a report frame to a responder after receiving the measurement frame;
wherein the request frame comprises a first message for indicating information supported by the initiator, and the information supported by the initiator comprises at least one of a timing report, a ranging report and a location report, the measurement frame comprises a second message for indicating information required by the responder, and the information required by the responder comprises at least one of the timing report, the ranging report and the location report, and the report frame comprises the information required by the responder.
14. The wireless communication method of claim 13 , wherein the first message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is supported by the initiator.
15. The wireless communication method of claim 13 , wherein the second message is represented by at least one bit arranged to indicate whether a predetermined report type is required by the responder.
16. The wireless communication method of claim 13 , wherein the initiator is a station and the responder is an access point.
