ENHANCED TRAFFIC INDICATIONS FOR MULTI-LINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401377 titled 'ENHANCED TRAFFIC INDICATIONS FOR MULTI-LINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for managing traffic indications for multi-link devices (MLDs) in a network. Here are some key points from the abstract:
- Device generates traffic indication maps (TIMs) with bitmaps indicating whether traffic is to be sent by access point (AP) devices to non-AP devices within MLDs using different communication links.
- The device sends beacons containing TIMs to communicate traffic information within the network.
- Data frames are sent to non-AP devices based on the traffic indications in the TIMs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various networking scenarios where efficient traffic management between different types of devices is crucial, such as in smart homes, industrial IoT systems, and public Wi-Fi networks.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of traffic flow between different types of devices within MLDs. 2. Optimizing network resources by controlling traffic based on specific indications.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance and reliability. 2. Enhanced communication efficiency between devices. 3. Better utilization of network resources.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized traffic management systems for smart homes, industrial automation, public Wi-Fi networks, and other IoT applications.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this field may include existing systems for managing traffic flow in wireless networks, such as Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms and network traffic prioritization techniques.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle network congestion and prioritize traffic in case of high traffic volume?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system addresses network congestion or prioritizes traffic during peak usage.
What security measures are in place to protect the communication between devices and prevent unauthorized access to the network?
The patent application does not mention specific security features or protocols implemented to secure the communication between devices within the network.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to traffic indications for multi-link devices (MLDs). A device may generate a first traffic indication map (TIM) with a first bitmap including a first indication that traffic is to be sent by a first access point (AP) device of the MLD to a first non-AP device of a second MLD using a first communication link The device may generate a second TIM with a second bitmap including a second indication that no traffic is to be sent by a second AP device of the MLD to a second non-AP device of the second MLD using a second communication link The device may send, using the first communication link, the beacon, the beacon including the first TIM and the second TIM. The device may send, using the first communication link, a data frame to the first non-AP device of the second MLD.
