TECHNIQUE FOR PERFORMING MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17915825 titled 'TECHNIQUE FOR PERFORMING MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a multi-link device (MLD) that includes two stations (STAs) and an access point (AP). The MLD receives network allocation vector (NAV) time information about the second STA from the AP via the first STA. When the NAV time information is received, the second STA is in a doze state. The MLD identifies when the second STA changes from the doze state to an awake state and sets an NAV time for the second STA based on the received NAV time information.
- The MLD includes two STAs and an AP.
- The first STA operates in a first link and receives NAV time information about the second STA from the AP.
- The second STA operates in a second link and is in a doze state when the NAV time information is received.
- The MLD identifies when the second STA changes from the doze state to an awake state.
- The MLD sets an NAV time for the second STA based on the received NAV time information.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Mobile devices
Problems Solved
- Efficient management of network allocation vector (NAV) time in multi-link devices
- Accurate identification of the awake state of a station (STA) in a multi-link device
Benefits
- Improved power management in multi-link devices
- Enhanced network performance and efficiency
- Reduced interference and collisions in wireless communication systems
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) comprising a first STA and a second STA may perform the steps of: receiving, from an access point (AP) via the first STA operating in a first link, network allocation vector (NAV) time information about the second STA operating in a second link, wherein, when the NAV time information about the second STA is received, the second STA operates in a doze state; identifying that the state of the second STA is changed from the doze state to an awake state; and setting an NAV time for the second STA, on the basis of the NAV time information about the second STA.
