MULTI-LINK SETUP IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221599 titled 'MULTI-LINK SETUP IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system in a wireless local area network (WLAN) where multiple stations (STAs) can request association with an access point (AP) using different links.
- The system includes a first STA and a second STA operating on different links.
- The STA MLD (Multiple Link Domain) sends an association request frame to the AP MLD.
- The association request frame includes capability information of the requesting STA and information about the link used for the request.
- The STA MLD receives an association response frame from the AP MLD.
- The association response frame includes capability information of the AP operating in the accepted link.
Original Abstract Submitted
In a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, an STA MLD may include a first STA and a second STA, wherein the first STA operates on a first link, and the second STA operates on a second link. The STA MLD may transmit an association request frame to an access point (AP) MLD. The association request frame may include capability information of a requesting STA, which requests to be associated with the AP MLD, among STAs included in the STA MLD and information related to a request link, to with which a request to be associated is transmitted by the requesting STAs. The STA MLD may receive an association response frame from the AP MLD. The association response frame may include capability information of an AP that operates in a link, an association with which is accepted by the AP MLD, among the request links.
