METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING MAC ADDRESS OF ANOTHER STA WITHIN RECEPTION MLD IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243766 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING MAC ADDRESS OF ANOTHER STA WITHIN RECEPTION MLD IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for receiving the MAC address of another STA (Station) in a wireless LAN system. The reception MLD (Media Link Decoder) receives an ML (Media Link) element from a transmission MLD through a first link. The ML element contains common information and link information, including a profile field of the second transmission STA. The profile field of the second transmission STA includes information about the existence of the MAC address of the second transmission STA. If the MAC address exists, it is included in the profile field.

  • The method and apparatus enable the reception of the MAC address of another STA in a wireless LAN system.
  • The reception MLD receives an ML element from a transmission MLD through a first link.
  • The ML element contains common information and link information.
  • The link information includes a profile field of the second transmission STA.
  • The profile field of the second transmission STA includes information about the existence of the MAC address.
  • If the MAC address exists, it is included in the profile field.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless LAN systems
  • Network communication protocols

Problems Solved

  • Obtaining the MAC address of another STA in a wireless LAN system
  • Efficient transmission and reception of MAC address information

Benefits

  • Improved network communication and connectivity
  • Simplified identification and addressing of STAs in a wireless LAN system


Original Abstract Submitted

Proposed are a method and an apparatus for receiving an MAC address of another STA within a reception MLD in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, the reception MLD receives an ML element from a transmission MLD through a first link. The reception MLD decodes the ML element. The ML element includes common information and link information. The link information includes a profile field of the second transmission STA. The profile field of the second transmission STA includes first information relating to whether an MAC address of the second transmission STA exists. If the first information is configured to be 1, the profile field of the second transmission ST A includes the MAC address of the second transmission STA.
