MULTI-LINK OPERATION FOR NEXT GENERATION WLAN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240357504 titled 'MULTI-LINK OPERATION FOR NEXT GENERATION WLAN
The patent application discusses methods and apparatuses for facilitating selection between operating modes of MLDS, specifically focusing on a non-AP MLD with first and second links operating in the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands, respectively.
- The processor in the non-AP MLD determines the operating mode based on traffic latency/throughput requirements or power-saving requirements.
- The operating modes include STR mode using both links, single-link mode using the second link, and EMLSR mode using both links or the first link.
- In a balanced power savings and latency/throughput requirements scenario, the processor decides to operate in EMLSR mode in a high contention environment or STR mode in a low contention environment.
Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Smart home technology
Problems Solved: - Efficient utilization of multiple links in wireless devices - Balancing power savings and performance requirements
Benefits: - Enhanced network performance - Improved power efficiency - Flexibility in adapting to different network conditions
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Wireless Communication Systems for IoT Devices" This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as smart home devices, industrial IoT systems, and wireless sensor networks, enhancing connectivity and efficiency in these sectors.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor in the non-AP MLD determine the operating mode based on different requirements? 2. What are the key benefits of operating in EMLSR mode compared to STR mode in a high contention environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and apparatuses for facilitating selection between operating modes of mlds. a non-ap mld comprises a processor and stas having first and second links operating in the 5 and 2.4 ghz bands, respectively, with aps of an ap mld. the processor determines: based on traffic latency/throughput requirements, to operate in str mode using both links, or, based on power saving requirements, to operate in a single link mode using the second link, or, based on the power savings requirements having a higher priority than the latency/throughput requirements, to operate in emlsr mode using both links or in the single link mode using the first link. if the power savings and latency/throughput requirements are balanced, the processor determines: in a high contention environment, to operate in emlsr mode using both links or, in a low contention environment, to operate in str mode using both links.
