INFORMATION INDICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354180 titled 'INFORMATION INDICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for indicating padding duration for a channel switch delay in a wireless network.

• The first frame generated by a non-AP MLD or a first STA includes indication information for padding duration.
• The padding duration is determined based on the duration of a control response frame.
• The first frame is transmitted by the non-AP MLD or the first STA or another STA in the network.
• The first frame is received by an AP MLD or a first AP or another AP in the network.
• The AP MLD or the first AP determines the padding duration of the initial control frame based on the indication information.

Original Abstract Submitted

A non-AP MLD or a first STA in the non-AP MLD generates a first frame. The first frame includes indication information for indicating padding duration for a channel switch delay in an initial control frame. The padding duration is determined based on duration of a control response frame. The non-AP MLD or the first STA or another STA in the non-AP MLD transmits the first frame. An AP MLD or a first AP or another AP in the AP MLD receives the first frame. The AP MLD or the first AP determines the padding duration of the initial control frame based on the indication information.
