SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CHANGING COMMUNICATION LINKS FOR MULTI LINK DEVICES ON MOBILE WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17882741 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CHANGING COMMUNICATION LINKS FOR MULTI LINK DEVICES ON MOBILE WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about multi-link devices (MLDs) that include access point (AP) MLDs and non-AP MLDs. It specifically focuses on modules, systems, and methods for changing a first communication link between a first affiliated station (STA) of a non-AP MLD and a first affiliated AP of an AP MLD to a second communication link between the first affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a second affiliated AP of the non-AP MLD, while maintaining a third communication link between a second affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a third affiliated AP of the AP MLD. The disclosure provides modules, systems, and methods for changing the association of a communication link independently of other communication links, allowing for continuous connectivity between a non-AP MLD and an AP MLD.

  • The disclosure is about multi-link devices (MLDs) that include access point (AP) MLDs and non-AP MLDs.
  • It focuses on changing the communication link between a first affiliated station (STA) of a non-AP MLD and a first affiliated AP of an AP MLD to a second communication link between the first affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a second affiliated AP of the non-AP MLD.
  • The third communication link between a second affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a third affiliated AP of the AP MLD is maintained.
  • The disclosure provides modules, systems, and methods for changing the association of a communication link independently of other communication links.
  • The technology allows for continuous connectivity between a non-AP MLD and an AP MLD.

  • Enhanced flexibility in managing communication links
  • Seamless integration of different types of MLDs
  • Better performance and connectivity for IoT devices and smart home systems


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to multi-link devices (MLDs) including access point (AP) MLDs and non-AP MLDs, and specifically modules, systems and methods for changing a first communication link between a first affiliated station (STA) of a non-AP MLD and a first affiliated AP of an AP MLD to a second communication link between the first affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a second affiliated AP of the non-AP MLD, while maintaining a third communication link between a second affiliated STA of the non-AP MLD and a third affiliated AP of the AP MLD. More specifically, the present disclosure provides modules, systems and methods for changing an association of a communication link independent of other communication links allowing for continuous connectivity between a non-AP MLD and an AP MLD.
