InterDigital had one patents in ecommerce during Q4 2023. The patent filed by InterDigital Inc in Q4 2023 describes a method and apparatus for supporting coordinated and cooperative sectorized transmissions in a network. This involves power control, clear channel assessment, sectorized beacon, and associated procedures. The system includes multiple access points (APs) sending omni-directional and sectorized transmissions to stations (STAs), with overlapping basic service sets (OBSS) confirming spatially orthogonal conditions. STAs are configured to receive requests for data transmission and transmit cooperative sectorized clear-to-send frames for multiple AP reception.

Application: Method and apparatus for supporting sectorization coordination (Patent ID: US20230325864A1)
The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. describes a method and apparatus for supporting coordinated and cooperative sectorized transmissions in a network. The method involves power control, clear channel assessment, and sectorized beacon procedures to protect transmissions. The system includes an access point (AP) sending both omni-directional and sectorized transmissions to a station (STA), with overlapping basic service sets (OBSS) confirming a spatially orthogonal condition based on the omni-directional transmission. The STA then transmits a cooperative sectorized (CS) clear-to-send (CTS) frame to indicate its ability for multiple AP reception.
The claims in the patent detail the method for the STA to receive an omni-beam transmission from the AP, respond with a frame indicating support or lack thereof for sectorized operations, and transmit a CTS frame to the AP to indicate signal reception quality. The patent also covers the configuration of the STA and AP for these operations, including the ability to support sectorized operations, transmit CTS frames, and set up network allocation vectors. Overall, the patent focuses on enabling efficient and effective sectorized transmissions in a network through coordinated communication between APs and STAs.
