LINK ERROR RECOVERY METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149490 titled 'LINK ERROR RECOVERY METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for recovering from link errors in a transmitter MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) system. The system consists of a transmitter MLD and a receiver MLD connected by a first and second link. One of the MLDs has an STR (Selective Transmit Request) capability while the other does not.

  • The method involves detecting a failed transmission of a first PPDU (Protocol Data Unit) on the first link.
  • In response to the failed transmission, a second PPDU is transmitted to the receiver MLD using the first link.
  • The second PPDU is used to retransmit the error part of the first PPDU.
  • The transmission of the second PPDU occurs at a specific moment when the transmitter MLD obtains transmission status information of the second link.
  • Alternatively, if the first PPDU is normally transmitted, the first moment can be a moment for transmitting the next PPDU on the first link.

Potential Applications

  • This link error recovery method can be applied to various transmitter MLD systems that involve communication between a transmitter and a receiver.
  • It can be particularly useful in multicast communication scenarios where multiple receivers are involved.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the issue of link errors in a transmitter MLD system, ensuring that error parts of transmitted data can be retransmitted to ensure reliable communication.
  • It solves the problem of failed transmission on the first link by using the second link to retransmit the error part of the data.

Benefits

  • The method improves the reliability of communication in transmitter MLD systems by recovering from link errors.
  • It allows for efficient retransmission of error parts, reducing the need for retransmitting the entire data.
  • The method optimizes the timing of retransmission by utilizing the moment when transmission status information of the second link is obtained.


Original Abstract Submitted

A link error recovery method applied to a transmitter MLD is provided. Links between the transmitter MLD and a receiver MLD include a first link and a second link, and one of the transmitter MLD and the receiver MLD has an STR capability while the other does not have the STR capability. The method includes: determining that transmission of a first PPDU on the first link fails; and transmitting a second PPDU to the receiver MLD at a first moment by using the first link, the second PPDU being used to retransmit an error part in the first PPDU. The first moment is a moment at which the transmitter MLD obtains transmission status information of the second link. Alternatively, the first moment is a moment for transmitting a next PPDU on the first link if the first PPDU is normally transmitted.
