CHANNEL ACCESS IN MULTI-LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18210542 Titled 'CHANNEL ACCESS IN MULTI-LINK'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for a wireless device in a local area network (LAN) that can transmit and receive data on multiple links simultaneously. The device determines whether to transmit a certain type of data based on the channel access results of two different links. If the back-off counter of the first link reaches zero and the back-off counter of the second link does not reach zero, the device decides not to transmit the data through the first link and keeps the back-off counter of the first link at zero.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (non-STR) device in a wireless local area network (LAN) is provided. The non-STR device may support a multi-link communication related to a first link and a second link. The non-STR device may determine whether to transmit a first physical protocol data unit (PPDU), PPDU, based on a channel access result on the first link and a channel access result on the second link. The non-STR device determines not to transmit the first PPDU through the first link and keeps the back-off counter of the first link at zero (0) when a back-off counter of the first link reaches zero (0) and a back-off counter of the second link does not reach zero (0).
