Abstract

This communication device acquires a transmission opportunity (TXOP) for transmitting a radio frame. The communication device uses a first radio frame to ensure a first TXOP period. The communication device uses a Trigger frame to allocate a second TXOP period within the first TXOP period to another communication device. During the second TXOP period, the communication device receives a prescribed control frame indicating that the second TXOP period will end. When the communication device receives the prescribed control frame during the second TXOP period, the communication device performs control so as to transmit a second radio frame after the passage of a prescribed Inter Frame Space (IFS) time from the reception. The communication device performs control so as to transmit the second radio frame on the basis of a prescribed condition.

Abstract

A mechanism to provide adaptive pre-emption of a contention period to various ACs in order to transmit pending data includes the following. The communication device first transmits a Defer signal over the wireless medium within a contention period. This pre-empts the medium for subsequent backoff contention. The communication device then performs a backoff procedure within the contention period. This is a deferred contention taking place after the Defer signal. The adaptive pre-emption includes having a length of the Defer signal and/or a pre-emption delay prior to transmitting the Defer signal after a start of the contention period to be determined based on an access class of the pending data, such as access categories, traffic classes, traffic identifiers (TIDs), user priorities (UPs), SCSIDs identifying streams of data, and so on.

Abstract

An access point device for performing communication conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard series communicates with another communication device belonging to a first network constructed by the access point device using either a first channel access method that uses at least a predetermined Primary channel in one link or a second channel access method that uses a Non-Primary channel different from the Primary channel among a plurality of channels included in the link without using the Primary channel. If a radio frame related to the occupancy of one or more channels including the Primary channel is received from another access point device constructing a second network different from the first network and the one or more channels including the Primary channel are occupied in the second network, the access point device transmits, to the other communication device, a notification indicating that the second channel access method should be used or the transmission of the radio frame is prohibited.

Abstract

This image formation device comprises: a first charging member that forms a first charging part by coming into contact with the surface of a photoconductive drum, and charges the surface of the photoconductive drum by application of a first charging voltage to the first charging part; and a second charging member that charges the surface of the photoconductive drum by application of a second charging voltage to a second charging part facing the surface of the photoconductive drum. The first charging part is formed upstream from the second charging part downstream from a transfer part in the rotation direction of the photoconductive drum. When a potential difference formed between a second surface potential formed on the surface of the photoconductive drum and the second charging voltage in the second charging part is defined as a charging potential difference, in an image formation operation, the charging potential difference is controlled to be higher than or equal to a discharge start voltage, and in a state where the photoconductive drum is rotated and the first charging voltage is applied, the charging potential difference in a non-image formation operation is controlled to be smaller than that in the image formation operation.
