VIRTUAL MULTIPLE LINK OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17811856 titled 'VIRTUAL MULTIPLE LINK OPERATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a wireless communication network that includes an access point (AP) device, a first non-access-point (non-AP) device, and a second non-AP device. The network allows for a virtual multiple link operation between the AP device and the first non-AP device.
- The first non-AP device sends a request frame to the AP device to establish a virtual multiple link operation.
- The AP device responds with a response frame to the request frame.
- A first wireless link is set up between the AP device and the first non-AP device.
- A virtual link is established, which includes a second wireless link between the AP device and the second non-AP device, and a communication link between the second non-AP device and the first non-AP device.
- The first non-AP device can now communicate with the AP device through both the first wireless link and the virtual link.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication networks to enable multiple devices to communicate with an access point simultaneously.
- It can be used in scenarios where there is a need for efficient and reliable communication between multiple devices and an access point.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of limited capacity in wireless communication networks by allowing for virtual multiple link operations.
- It addresses the issue of congestion and interference by providing additional communication paths between devices and the access point.
Benefits
- The technology improves the overall performance and efficiency of wireless communication networks.
- It enables seamless and simultaneous communication between multiple devices and an access point.
- It enhances the reliability and stability of wireless connections by providing redundant communication paths.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless communication network includes an access point (AP) device, a first non-access-point (non-AP) device, and a second non-AP device. The first non-AP device transmits, to the AP device, a request frame for a virtual multiple link operation between the AP device and the first non-AP device. The first non-AP device receives a response frame from the AP device in response to the request frame. A first wireless link between the AP device and the first non-AP device is set up. A virtual link between the AP device and the first non-AP device is set up. The virtual link includes a second wireless link between the AP device and the second non-AP device and a communication link between the second non-AP device and the first non-AP device. The first non-AP device communicates with the AP device via the first wireless link and the virtual link.
