*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18025172 Titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ACQUIRING INFORMATION ON LINKS BETWEEN MLDS IN WIRELESS LAN SYSTEM'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method and device for gathering information about connections between different devices in a wireless LAN system. In this method, a receiving device sends a request to a transmitting device through a first connection. The receiving device then receives a response from the transmitting device through the same connection. The transmitting device consists of three different devices operating in three different connections. The receiving device also has a device operating in the same connection. The receiving device can request information about the second and third connections by including identifiers for those connections in the request. If the receiving device wants information about all the connections, it does not include identifiers for all the connections in the request.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Proposed are a method and device for acquiring information on links between MLDs in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a receiving MLD transmits a probe request frame to a transmitting MLD through a first link. The receiving MLD receives a probe response fr ame from the transmitting MLD through the first link. The transmitting MLD comprises: a first transmitting STA operating in the first link; a second transmitting STA operating in a second link; and a third transmitting STA operating in a third link. The receiving MLD comprises a first receiving STA operating in the first link. When the first receiving STA requests for information on the second and third links, the probe request frame includes link identifiers for the second and third links. When the first receiving STA requests for information on all the links, the probe request frame does not include link identifiers for all the links.
