METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING INFORMATION ON LINKS BETWEEN MLDS IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18025172 Titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING INFORMATION ON LINKS BETWEEN MLDS IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and device for gathering information about connections between Multiple Link Descriptors (MLDs) in a wireless LAN system. The process involves a receiving MLD sending a probe request to a transmitting MLD through a first link. The receiving MLD then receives a probe response from the transmitting MLD, which consists of multiple transmitting STAs operating in different links. The receiving MLD can request information about specific links by including their identifiers in the probe request frame. However, if it wants information about all the links, it does not need to include identifiers for each individual link.
Original Abstract Submitted
Proposed are a method and device for acquiring information on links between MLDs in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a receiving MLD transmits a probe request frame to a transmitting MLD through a first link. The receiving MLD receives a probe response fr ame from the transmitting MLD through the first link. The transmitting MLD comprises: a first transmitting STA operating in the first link; a second transmitting STA operating in a second link; and a third transmitting STA operating in a third link. The receiving MLD comprises a first receiving STA operating in the first link. When the first receiving STA requests for information on the second and third links, the probe request frame includes link identifiers for the second and third links. When the first receiving STA requests for information on all the links, the probe request frame does not include link identifiers for all the links.
