CHANNEL ACCESS OF NON-STR MLD IN MULTI-LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18216343 titled 'CHANNEL ACCESS OF NON-STR MLD IN MULTI-LINK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless local area network system that includes a transmitting multi-link device (MLD) which allows a first station (STA) to perform a back-off operation again without transmitting a PPDU (Physical Protocol Data Unit), if a second STA is in the middle of receiving even when the back-off counter (BC) of the first STA reaches 0. The first STA and the second STA are part of the same transmitting MLD, with the first STA operating on a first link and the second STA operating on a second link. These links are part of a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pair.

  • The patent application describes a wireless local area network system.
  • The system includes a transmitting multi-link device (MLD).
  • The MLD allows a first station (STA) to perform a back-off operation again without transmitting a PPDU.
  • This is possible even when a second STA is in the middle of receiving data.
  • The back-off counter (BC) of the first STA reaching 0 triggers this operation.
  • The first STA and the second STA are part of the same MLD.
  • The first STA operates on a first link, while the second STA operates on a second link.
  • These links are part of a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pair.


Original Abstract Submitted

A transmitting multi-link device (MLD) in a wireless local area network system enables a first station (STA) to perform a back-off operation again without transmitting PPDU, if a second STA is in the middle of receiving even when a back-off counter (BC) of the first STA becomes 0. The first STA and the second STA are included in the same transmitting MLD. The first STA operates on a first link and the second STA operates on a second link. The first and second links are included in a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pair.
