INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSED TRAFFIC INDICATION METHOD APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE LINKS AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148303 titled 'INDIVIDUALLY ADDRESSED TRAFFIC INDICATION METHOD APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE LINKS AND RELATED APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication, specifically addressing traffic indication methods and apparatuses in a wireless local area network (WLAN) supporting the 802.11be standard.

  • The invention involves a method where a first access point (AP) of a multi-link device (AP MLD) generates and sends individually addressed traffic indication information.
  • This information is used to indicate whether non-AP MLDs associated with the first AP MLD and a second AP MLD have downlink individually addressed traffic.
  • The second AP MLD includes a non-transmitted AP that belongs to a multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set where the first AP is located.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless local area networks (WLANs) supporting the 802.11be standard.
  • It can be used in various industries and settings where wireless communication is crucial, such as offices, public spaces, and homes.

Problems Solved

  • The invention addresses the need for individually addressed traffic indication in a wireless local area network.
  • It solves the problem of efficiently indicating whether non-AP MLDs have downlink individually addressed traffic.

Benefits

  • The individually addressed traffic indication method improves the overall efficiency and performance of wireless communication in a WLAN.
  • It allows for better management and control of traffic flow between access points and non-AP MLDs.
  • This technology enhances the user experience by optimizing the delivery of individually addressed traffic in a wireless network.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular, to individually addressed traffic indication methods and apparatuses applicable to multiple links, for example, in a wireless local area network supporting an 802.11be standard. In an example method, a first access point (AP) of a first access point multi-link device (AP MLD) generates and sends individually addressed traffic indication information. The individually addressed traffic indication information is used to indicate whether a non-AP MLD associated with the first AP MLD has a downlink individually addressed traffic and whether a non-AP MLD associated with a second AP MLD has a downlink individually addressed traffic. The second AP MLD is an AP MLD to which a non-transmitted AP belongs. The non-transmitted AP is in a multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set in which the first AP is located.
