MULTI-LINK OPERATION (MLO) IN A MESH NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839818 titled 'MULTI-LINK OPERATION (MLO) IN A MESH NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a multi-link device (MLD) that transmits a frame on a communication link associated with a first device. The frame carries multiple addresses of peer devices associated with a mesh basis service set (MBSS). These addresses can be per-link addresses or medium access control (MAC) addresses of the MLD.

  • The MLD transmits a frame on a communication link associated with a first device.
  • The frame carries multiple addresses of peer devices associated with a mesh basis service set (MBSS).
  • The addresses can be per-link addresses or MAC addresses of the MLD.
  • The addresses include receiver and transmitter addresses of a peering instance, as well as MBSS egress and MBSS ingress points of the peering instance.
  • The receiver and transmitter addresses are associated with the per-link address of the first communication link, while the MBSS egress and ingress addresses are associated with the MLD MAC address.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless mesh networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Communication systems with multiple devices

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the transmission of frames in a multi-link device by carrying multiple addresses in a single frame.
  • Enables efficient communication between peer devices in a mesh basis service set.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Streamlines the communication process in multi-link devices.
  • Reduces the complexity of addressing and transmitting frames in a mesh network.
  • Enhances the efficiency and performance of communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure includes a multi-link device (MLD) transmitting a frame on a first communication link associated with a first device of the MLD, the frame carrying a plurality of addresses of a respective plurality of peer devices associated with a mesh basis service set (MBSS), each of the plurality of addresses associated with one of a per-link address of the first communication link of the MLD or a medium access control (MAC) address of the MLD. In some instances, the addresses include first and second addresses indicating respective receiver and transmitter addressees of a peering instance, and include third and fourth addresses indicating respective MBSS egress and MBSS ingress points of the peering instance. The first and second addresses are associated with the per-link address of the first communication link, and the third and fourth addresses are associated with the MLD MAC address.
