METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BSS TRANSITION SUPPORT FOR EPCS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356722 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BSS TRANSITION SUPPORT FOR EPCS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for prioritization handling for EPCS (Enhanced Priority Channel Switching) operation in wireless communication. The invention focuses on a non-AP (Access Point) device that includes a STA (Station) and its ability to form links with multiple APs.

  • The non-AP device forms a first link with a first AP and a second link with a second AP.
  • The device receives information related to EPCS priority access from both APs.
  • It determines whether the device is undergoing a BSS (Basic Service Set) transition from the first AP to the second AP.
  • If there is no BSS transition, the device continues with the current EPCS priority access.
  • If there is a BSS transition, the device determines a procedure for handling the EPCS priority access associated with the transition.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems that require prioritization handling for EPCS operation.
  • Devices that need to maintain EPCS priority access while transitioning between different APs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient handling of EPCS priority access during BSS transitions.
  • Ensuring uninterrupted communication and prioritization for non-AP devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and efficiency in wireless communication.
  • Seamless transition between APs without losing priority access.
  • Enhanced performance for non-AP devices in EPCS operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for prioritization handling for EPCS operation are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-AP device that comprises a STA comprises: forming a first link with a first AP of a first AP MLD and a second link with a second AP of a second AP MLD; receiving information associated with EPCS priority access from the first and second APs, determining whether the STA is undergoing a BSS transition from the first AP to the second AP; when the STA is not undergoing the BSS transition from the first AP to the second AP, continuing with a current EPCS priority access; and when the STA is undergoing the BSS transition from the first AP to the second AP, determining a procedure for handling the EPCS priority access associated with the BSS transition from the first AP to the second AP.
