TDLS DISCOVERY PROCESS FOR EMLSR OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18343647 titled 'TDLS DISCOVERY PROCESS FOR EMLSR OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) discovery for enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation in wireless communication. The method involves a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) forming links with corresponding APs, where some of the links are configured as EMLSR links. The method includes generating a TDLS discovery request message and sending it separately on each link to discover a peer STA. The MLD then transmits the request message to the AP MLD and receives a TDLS discovery response message indicating the discovery of the peer STA on the corresponding link.

  • The patent application focuses on improving the operation of multi-link devices in wireless communication.
  • It introduces the concept of enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) mode of operation.
  • The method involves forming links with APs and configuring some of them as EMLSR links.
  • TDLS discovery requests are generated and sent separately on each link to discover peer STAs.
  • The MLD transmits the request message to the AP MLD and receives a response indicating the discovery of the peer STA on the corresponding link.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems using multi-link devices can benefit from this technology.
  • It can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, networking, and IoT.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently discovering peer STAs in a multi-link device.
  • It addresses the need for enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation in wireless communication.

Benefits:

  • The method improves the performance and efficiency of multi-link devices in wireless communication.
  • It enables faster and more reliable discovery of peer STAs.
  • The technology enhances the overall operation of wireless communication systems using multi-link devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for tunneled direct link setup (TDLS) discovery for enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) operation are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that comprises stations (STAs), the method comprising: forming links with corresponding APs of an AP MLD, wherein at least a subset of the links are enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) links configured to operate in an EMLSR mode of operation; generating a first message including a TDLS discovery request on the links separately for discovery of a peer STA on a corresponding link on which the TDLS discovery request is sent; transmitting, to the AP MLD, the first message, and receiving a message containing a TDLS discovery response message indicating discovery of the peer STA on the link on which the TDLS discovery request was sent.
