MULTI-LINK TRAFFIC STEERING WITH TRAFFIC INDICATION MAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031871 titled 'MULTI-LINK TRAFFIC STEERING WITH TRAFFIC INDICATION MAP

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a system, method, and device for multi-link traffic steering. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • A device can establish multiple links with a station multi-link device (STA MLD), which consists of separate station devices.
  • The device generates a Traffic Indication Map (TIM) bitmap, which is a collection of bits. Each bit is associated with an Association Identification (AID) corresponding to the STA MLD.
  • The device sets one or more bits in the TIM bitmap to indicate that there is data to be retrieved by the STA MLD on any of the links.
  • The device generates beacon frames, each containing the same TIM element, which includes the TIM bitmap.
  • The device sends the beacon frames on each of the links.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems: This technology can be applied in wireless networks to efficiently manage and distribute traffic across multiple links.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): It can be used in IoT devices to optimize data transmission and improve overall network performance.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient traffic distribution: The technology solves the problem of efficiently distributing traffic across multiple links, ensuring that data is retrieved by the appropriate devices.
  • Network congestion management: By indicating the presence of data in the TIM bitmap, the technology helps manage network congestion by allowing devices to retrieve data only when necessary.

Benefits:

  • Improved network performance: By distributing traffic effectively, the technology can enhance network performance, reducing latency and improving overall data transmission.
  • Enhanced device communication: The use of beacon frames and TIM bitmaps enables devices to efficiently communicate and retrieve data, leading to smoother and more reliable connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-link traffic steering. a device may establish one or more links with a station multi-link device (sta mld), wherein the sta mld comprises one or more logical entities defining separate station devices. the device may generate a traffic indication map (tim) bitmap of a plurality of bits, wherein one or more bits are associated with an association identification (aid) corresponding to the sta mld. the device may set the one or more bits to a first value to indicate that there is data to be retrieved by the sta mld on any of the one or more links. the device may generate one or more beacon frames each comprising a same tim element, wherein the tim element comprises the tim bitmap. the device may cause to send one or more beacon frames on each of the one or more links.
