SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER (SSID) FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS USING MULTIPLE LINK AGGREGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18304684 titled 'SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER (SSID) FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS USING MULTIPLE LINK AGGREGATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application is about wireless communications and describes a system, method, and apparatus for managing different types of access points (APs) based on their capabilities. Here are the key points:

  • The invention involves an apparatus that can handle both single-link and multi-link communications.
  • The apparatus can obtain the service set identifier (SSID) for each AP, which is a unique identifier for a wireless network.
  • The apparatus can also receive a management frame from a wireless communication device, which includes information about multi-link operations.
  • Based on the SSID and the multi-link indication in the management frame, the apparatus can determine if the wireless communication device has an AP capable of link aggregation.
  • The apparatus can then selectively associate with the wireless communication device based on this multi-link indication.

Overall, this patent application introduces a method for managing different types of APs and selectively associating with wireless communication devices based on their multi-link capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for wireless communications. In one aspect, an apparatus may obtain, for a first access point (AP), a first service set identifier (SSID) associated with single-link communications and obtain, for a second AP, a second SSID associated with multi-link communications. The apparatus may obtain, from a wireless communication device, a management frame include a multi-link operation information field that carries a first SSID and obtain a multi-link indication for the wireless communication device based, at least in part, on the first SSID, the multi-link indication indicating whether the wireless communication device includes AP capable of link aggregation, and selectively associate with the wireless communication device based on the multi-link indication.
