==Multi-Access Point Association - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240090056 titled 'Multi-Access Point Association

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application relates to methods for multi-access point association in a wireless local area network, where multiple access point wireless devices can establish a multi-access point system. Other access point wireless devices can join the system, and non-access point wireless devices can form an association with the multi-access point system, connecting to multiple different access point devices within the system.

* Multi-access point association in a wireless local area network
* Establishment of a multi-access point system by multiple access point wireless devices
