MULTI-LINK TRAFFIC INDICATION FOR BUFFERED TRAFFIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18340775 titled 'MULTI-LINK TRAFFIC INDICATION FOR BUFFERED TRAFFIC
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a wireless communication network that includes an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD. The AP MLD informs a station (STA) of the non-AP MLD, which is engaged in active frame exchanges, about the presence of pending buffered traffic for the non-AP MLD on another link. It also indicates whether the AP MLD intends to recommend the non-AP MLD to use another link to retrieve buffered traffic and whether there is a critical update to the basic service set (BSS) on another link.
- The patent application introduces a wireless communication network with an AP MLD and a non-AP MLD.
- The AP MLD informs the STA of the non-AP MLD about pending buffered traffic on another link.
- The AP MLD indicates whether it suggests the non-AP MLD to use another link for fetching buffered traffic.
- The AP MLD also notifies the presence of a critical update to the BSS on another link.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication networks that involve multiple devices and links.
- Networks where an AP MLD needs to inform a non-AP MLD about pending buffered traffic.
- Situations where an AP MLD wants to recommend the use of another link for fetching buffered traffic.
- Networks that require the notification of critical updates to the BSS on another link.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient management of buffered traffic in wireless communication networks.
- Improved coordination between AP MLD and non-AP MLD devices.
- Enhanced decision-making regarding the use of different links for fetching buffered traffic.
- Timely notification of critical updates to the BSS on another link.
Benefits of this technology:
- Reduced congestion and improved performance in wireless communication networks.
- Enhanced communication and coordination between AP MLD and non-AP MLD devices.
- Optimal utilization of available links for fetching buffered traffic.
- Timely and efficient dissemination of critical updates to the BSS on another link.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless communication network includes an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD. An AP of the AP MLD indicates to a STA of a non-AP MLD, which is involved in active frame exchanges, whether there is pending buffered traffic for the non-AP MLD on another link, whether the AP MLD intends to recommend the non-AP MLD to use another link to fetch buffered traffic, and/or whether there is a critical update to the BSS on another link.
