COMMUNICATION METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187168 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND RELATED APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to communication methods and apparatuses. In one example method, a non-access point multi-link device (non-AP MLD) receives a first frame from a first access point (AP) when performing a listening operation on a first link. The non-AP MLD switches some or all of spatial streams/antennas on each link of the non-AP MLD to the first link to perform a frame exchange with the first AP. When determining that any preset condition in a preset condition set is met, the non-AP MLD switches some spatial streams/antennas on the first link back to each link or another link to perform the listening operation.
- Non-AP MLD receives a frame from an AP during a listening operation on a link.
- Spatial streams/antennas are switched to the first link for frame exchange with the AP.
- When preset conditions are met, spatial streams/antennas are switched back for listening operation.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in wireless communication systems, IoT devices, and network infrastructure.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in optimizing communication performance by efficiently managing spatial streams/antennas based on preset conditions.
Benefits
- Improved communication efficiency - Enhanced network performance - Better utilization of resources
Potential Commercial Applications
- Wireless networking equipment - IoT devices - Communication infrastructure
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to optimizing spatial streams/antennas in wireless communication systems, but specific examples are not provided in the present disclosure.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact power consumption in devices?
The impact of this technology on power consumption in devices is not addressed in the abstract. It would be interesting to know if there are any power-saving benefits associated with the optimization of spatial streams/antennas.
Are there any limitations to the number of spatial streams/antennas that can be switched in this method?
The abstract does not mention any limitations on the number of spatial streams/antennas that can be switched. It would be important to understand if there are any constraints in this regard.
