CONTEXT UPDATES FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343222 titled 'CONTEXT UPDATES FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system involving an Access Point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a Station (STA) MLD. The AP MLD consists of a primary AP and one or more secondary APs, each associated with a respective communication link. The primary AP generates a frame that includes a change sequence field indicating the presence or absence of a critical update for the primary communication link, as well as one or more secondary change sequence fields indicating the presence or absence of critical updates for the secondary communication links. This frame is transmitted to the STA MLD.

  • The patent application describes a system involving an AP MLD and a STA MLD.
  • The AP MLD consists of a primary AP and one or more secondary APs.
  • Each AP is associated with a respective communication link.
  • The primary AP generates a frame with a change sequence field indicating critical updates for the primary communication link.
  • The frame also includes secondary change sequence fields indicating critical updates for the secondary communication links.
  • The frame is transmitted to the STA MLD.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart homes and buildings
  • Industrial automation and control systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient management of multiple communication links in a multi-link device
  • Prioritizing critical updates for different communication links
  • Streamlining communication between AP MLD and STA MLD

Benefits

  • Improved reliability and performance of wireless networks
  • Enhanced communication between devices in a multi-link system
  • Efficient handling of critical updates for different communication links


Original Abstract Submitted

A first access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) is associated with a first communication link, and one or more secondary APs of the AP MLD are associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD generates a frame including a first change sequence field and one or more secondary change sequence fields. The first change sequence field indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with the first communication link, and each of the one or more secondary change sequence fields indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with a corresponding secondary communication link of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD transmits the frame over the first communication link of the AP MLD to a station (STA) of a STA MLD.
