InterDigital had six patents in gaming 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 procedures to protect transmissions. 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 and transmit frames indicating data availability and multiple AP reception capability.

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. This involves using power control, clear channel assessment, sectorized beacons, and associated procedures to protect transmissions. The method includes an access point sending both omni-directional and sectorized transmissions to a station, with overlapping basic service sets confirming a spatially orthogonal condition based on the omni-directional transmission, and a second access point monitoring the omni-directional transmission to confirm the condition. The station is configured to receive a request-to-send frame and transmit a cooperative sectorized clear-to-send frame indicating an ability for multiple access point reception.
The claims detail the method for a station to receive an omni-beam transmission from an access point indicating subsequent sectorized operation, and transmit a response frame indicating support or lack thereof for the operation. The response frame allows the access point to set up a network allocation vector for the sectorized operation. The station may also transmit a clear-to-send frame indicating signal reception quality and can be located outside the sector but within the reception range of the omni-beam transmission. Similarly, the claims outline the components and functions of a station and access point in supporting sectorized operations, including the transmission and reception of frames to enable coordinated and cooperative sectorized transmissions within a network.
