Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the scope and data coverage?
To create a comprehensive dataset of potentially relevant patents, we employed a two-pronged approach:
- Declared Patents: Patent families declared as essential to the IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) standard were sourced directly from the IEEE website’s patent database.
- Undeclared Patents: Additional, undeclared patent families relevant to IEEE 802.11be were identified through advanced search strategies. These strategies combined targeted keywords [e.g., “Multi-Link Operation,” “MLO,” “320 MHz,” “Preamble Puncturing,” “Restricted Target Wake Time,” “R-TWT”] and patent classifications [e.g., “H04W”, “H04L”]. The analysis focused on patents filed between January 01, 2016 and March 31, 2025. This timeframe aligns with the development and drafting of the IEEE 802.11be standard, ensuring the inclusion of patents covering key Wi-Fi 7 innovations.
