METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED MULTI-LINK MULTI RADIO (EMLMR) OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18335011 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED MULTI-LINK MULTI RADIO (EMLMR) OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for enhancing the operation of multi-link devices (MLDs) with multiple radios. These MLDs include non-access point (AP) devices that have a transceiver to establish links with AP MLDs and a processor. The links support different modulation and coding schemes (MCS) and spatial streams (NSS). The innovation introduces an enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) mode of operation, where the links support an enhanced MCS and NSS.

  • The patent application introduces the concept of EMLMR STAs, which are non-AP MLDs with transceivers and processors.
  • Each link between an EMLMR STA and an AP supports a specific MCS and NSS.
  • The EMLMR links operate in an EMLMR mode, enabling them to support an enhanced MCS and NSS.
  • During the EMLMR mode, the first EMLMR STA conducts a frame exchange with the first AP over the first link.
  • The processor of the first EMLMR STA controls the behavior of other EMLMR STAs on other EMLMR links during the frame exchange.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems that utilize multi-link devices.
  • It can enhance the performance and capacity of wireless networks by utilizing multiple radios and links simultaneously.
  • The EMLMR mode of operation can be beneficial in scenarios where high data rates and reliable connections are required.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of limited capacity and performance in wireless networks by utilizing multiple radios and links.
  • It addresses the challenge of coordinating the behavior of multiple EMLMR STAs during frame exchanges to ensure efficient operation.

Benefits

  • The EMLMR mode of operation allows for enhanced modulation and coding schemes and spatial streams, resulting in higher data rates and improved network performance.
  • The technology enables efficient utilization of multiple radios and links, increasing the capacity of wireless networks.
  • By controlling the behavior of EMLMR STAs during frame exchanges, the technology ensures smooth and coordinated operation of the multi-link devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) operation of multi-link devices (MLDs). A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises EMLMR STA, each comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and a processor. Each link is configured to support a respective basic modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and number of spatial streams (NSS), and the links are EMLMR links configured to operate in an EMLMR mode of operation in which the EMLMR links support an enhanced MCS and NSS. A first of the EMLMR STAs, in the EMLMR mode of operation, is configured to conduct a first EMLMR frame exchange with a first of the APs over a first of the links. The processor is operably coupled to the EMLMR STAs, and configured to control a behavior of other EMLMR STAs on other EMLMR links during the first EMLMR frame exchange.
