METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TDLS DISCOVERY FOR NSTR CONSTRAINED DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356945 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TDLS DISCOVERY FOR NSTR CONSTRAINED DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for facilitating discovery by a multi-link device (MLD) of peer-to-peer (P2P) direct links that overlap with non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) constrained links of the MLD without violating NSTR constraints.

  • The patent describes a system that allows a multi-link device (MLD) to discover peer-to-peer (P2P) direct links that overlap with non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) constrained links without violating NSTR constraints.
  • The MLD consists of multiple stations (STAs) and access points (APs), with each STA having a transceiver and a processor.
  • Two of the links form an NSTR link pair, and the processor generates a message to identify a first NSTR link for establishing a P2P direct link with a peer STA.
  • One of the transceivers transmits the message to the AP MLD, while the other transceiver waits a predetermined period of time before performing uplink transmissions to the AP MLD.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems where multiple devices need to establish direct links with each other without violating NSTR constraints.
  • It can be used in scenarios where devices need to communicate directly with each other without going through a central access point.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The technology solves the problem of discovering P2P direct links that overlap with NSTR constrained links without violating NSTR constraints.
  • It allows devices to establish direct links with each other while still adhering to the limitations imposed by NSTR constraints.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The technology enables efficient communication between devices by allowing them to establish direct links without going through a central access point.
  • It improves the overall performance and reliability of wireless communication systems by optimizing the use of available links and resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating discovery by a multi-link device (MLD) of peer-to-peer (P2P) direct links that overlap with non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) constrained links of the MLD without violating NSTR constraints. A first non-access point (AP) MLD comprises first stations (STAs), each comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and a processor. Two of the links form an NSTR link pair. The processor is configured to generate a first message identifying a first NSTR link for establishment of a P2P direct link with a peer STA. The transceiver corresponding to one of the NSTR links is configured to transmit the first message to the AP MLD. The transceiver corresponding to a second NSTR link is configured to wait a predetermined period of time after the first message is transmitted before performing uplink (UL) transmissions to the AP MLD.
