SECURE LINK RECOMMENDATION WITH ENHANCED INTEGRITY IN MULTIPLE BASIC SERVICE SET IDENTIFICATION NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129724 titled 'SECURE LINK RECOMMENDATION WITH ENHANCED INTEGRITY IN MULTIPLE BASIC SERVICE SET IDENTIFICATION NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an apparatus for an access point multi-link device in a wireless network, which includes encoding beacon frames for transmission to non-AP MLDs and encoding link recommendation frames for the non-AP MLDs associated with any APs in the network.

  • The apparatus is configured as a transmitted basic service set identifier (TxBSSID) in a wireless network with multiple BSSID sets.
  • Memory and processing circuitry encode beacon frames for transmission to non-AP MLDs on behalf of the TxBSSID and non-transmitted BSSIDs within the MBSSID set.
  • A link recommendation frame is encoded for transmission to the non-AP MLDs, providing link recommendations for the associated APs in the network.
  • The group management cipher suite of the TxBSSID is used to protect the link recommendation frame during transmission.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Wireless network management systems
  • IoT devices and networks
  • Smart home automation systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient transmission of beacon frames in a wireless network with multiple BSSID sets
  • Improved link recommendations for non-AP MLDs in the network
  • Enhanced security for link recommendation frames during transmission

Benefits

  • Enhanced network performance and management
  • Improved communication between APs and non-AP MLDs
  • Increased security for link recommendation frames

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing wireless network performance and security in:

  • Office buildings
  • Public spaces
  • Residential areas

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of group management cipher suites in wireless networks for security purposes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network scalability?

This technology can potentially improve network scalability by efficiently managing communication between APs and non-AP MLDs, reducing network congestion and improving overall performance.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in large-scale deployments?

One limitation could be the complexity of managing link recommendations for a large number of non-AP MLDs in a network, which may require additional processing power and resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus of an access point multi-link device (ap mld) is configured as a transmitted basic service set identifier (txbssid) in a wireless network including a multiple bssid (mbssid) set. the apparatus includes memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory and configured to encode beacon frames for transmission to non-ap mlds in the wireless network. the transmission is on behalf of the txbssid and non-transmitted bssids (nontxbssids) within the mbssid set. a link recommendation frame is encoded for transmission to the non-ap mlds. the link recommendation frame includes link recommendations for the non-ap mlds associated with any aps in the mbssid set. a group management cipher suite of the txbssid is used to protect the link recommendation frame encoded for the transmission.
