MULTI-LINK ESTABLISHMENT METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604537 titled 'MULTI-LINK ESTABLISHMENT METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
The patent application describes a method and device for establishing multiple links, allowing a device to switch between different access points or links using radio bitmap information.
- The multi-link association response frame includes information on link establishment status, making multi-link establishment more flexible.
- The frame also carries reassociation information to indicate whether each parameter in association configuration information is reserved, reducing signaling overhead.
- This method improves multi-link establishment flexibility by providing detailed information in the association response frame.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems where devices need to switch between different access points or links seamlessly.
- Problems Solved:**
- Allows for flexible establishment of multiple links - Reduces signaling overhead in reassociation operations
- Benefits:**
- Improved flexibility in establishing multiple links - Reduced signaling overhead for reassociation operations
- Commercial Applications:**
This technology can be utilized in industries that rely on seamless wireless communication, such as IoT devices, smart homes, and industrial automation systems.
- Questions about Multi-Link Establishment:**
1. How does the multi-link association response frame improve flexibility in establishing multiple links? 2. What are the benefits of reducing signaling overhead in reassociation operations?
Original Abstract Submitted
This application discloses a multi-link establishment method and a related device. A multi-link association response frame carries radio bitmap information, to indicate an AP allowed to be associated with a radio of a STA MLD or a link allowed to be established by using a radio of a STA MLD, so that the radio subsequently switches between different APs or links. The multi-link association response frame carries link establishment status information, to indicate a link establishment status of each link that the STA MLD requests to establish, so that multi-link establishment is more flexible. The multi-link association response frame carries reassociation information, to indicate whether each parameter in association configuration information is reserved, so that a problem that signaling overheads are relatively large due to a reassociation operation is avoided. It can be learned that, in the multi-link establishment method, the foregoing information is carried to improve multi-link establishment flexibility.
