ENHANCED TRAFFIC INDICATIONS FOR MULTI-LINK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137800 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, where different access points send traffic to non-access point devices using specific communication links.
- Multi-link devices (MLDs) are devices that have multiple access points for communication.
- Traffic Indication Maps (TIMs) are generated by the device to indicate which access points should send traffic to which non-access point devices.
- The device sends a beacon containing the TIMs to the relevant devices using the appropriate communication links.
- Data frames are then sent to the non-access point devices based on the information in the TIMs.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems to optimize traffic flow between devices in a network.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in efficiently managing traffic between multi-link devices, ensuring that data is sent through the most appropriate access points.
Benefits
The system improves network performance by directing traffic through the most efficient paths, reducing congestion and improving overall data transmission speeds.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be valuable in industries where wireless communication networks are used extensively, such as smart homes, industrial IoT, and public Wi-Fi networks.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar systems for managing traffic in wireless networks, but the specific method of using Traffic Indication Maps to direct traffic between multi-link devices may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle interference in communication links between devices?
The patent application does not specify how the system deals with interference or signal degradation in the communication links between devices.
What security measures are in place to protect the data being transmitted between devices?
The patent application does not detail any security protocols or encryption methods to secure the data being sent between multi-link devices.
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.
