TWT TEARDOWN PROCESS FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18359632 titled 'TWT TEARDOWN PROCESS FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for facilitating target wake time (TWT) teardown operations by multi-link devices (MLDs) in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The MLDs include a non-access point (AP) MLD that consists of a processor and stations (STAs). Each STA has a transceiver that forms a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and at least one TWT schedule or agreement is established on at least one of these links. The processor is connected to the STAs and is responsible for generating or interpreting a first message that identifies one or more of the links and indicates that TWT teardown is to be performed for the identified link(s). The transceiver of the first STA is further configured to transmit or receive the first message to or from the AP MLD over the first link.

  • The patent application describes a method and apparatus for facilitating TWT teardown operations in a wireless local area network.
  • The invention involves a non-AP MLD that includes a processor and STAs, each having a transceiver.
  • The transceivers form links with corresponding APs of an AP MLD, and TWT schedules or agreements are established on these links.
  • The processor generates or interprets a first message that identifies the links and indicates TWT teardown for the identified link(s).
  • The transceiver of the first STA transmits or receives the first message to or from the AP MLD over the first link.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless local area networks to improve the efficiency of TWT teardown operations.
  • It can be used in various devices that operate in a WLAN environment, such as smartphones, laptops, and IoT devices.

Problems Solved:

  • TWT teardown operations in a wireless local area network can be complex and time-consuming.
  • The invention simplifies the process by providing a method and apparatus for facilitating TWT teardown operations.
  • It allows for efficient communication between non-AP MLDs and AP MLDs, reducing the time and effort required for TWT teardown.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in TWT teardown operations, leading to enhanced performance and reduced power consumption in wireless local area networks.
  • Simplified communication between non-AP MLDs and AP MLDs, resulting in faster and more reliable TWT teardown.
  • Enhanced user experience in devices operating in a WLAN environment, as TWT teardown operations are optimized.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating target wake time (TWT) teardown operations by multi-link devices (MLDs) in a wireless local area network. A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises a processor and stations (STAs), each comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, wherein at least one TWT schedule or agreement is established on at least one of the links. The processor is operably coupled to the STAs and configured to generate or interpret a first message that identifies at least one of the links and indicates that TWT teardown is to be performed for the identified at least one link. The transceiver of a first of the STAs is further configured to transmit or receive the first message to or from the AP MLD over a first of the links.
