RESTRICTED TWT OPERATIONS FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240381265 titled 'RESTRICTED TWT OPERATIONS FOR MULTI-LINK DEVICES

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for enabling restricted target wake time (TWT) operation in a wireless local area network.

• The apparatus includes a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) with multiple stations (STAs) and a processor.
• Each STA has a transceiver for broadcast TWT operation on multi-link operation (MLO) links with corresponding APs of the MLD.
• The processor negotiates a broadcast TWT schedule over a first link, applies it to the group of links, negotiates a restricted TWT schedule with the MLD, and establishes the restricted TWT schedule on one or more links.

Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for facilitating restricted target wake time (twt) operation in a wireless local area network. the apparatuses include a non-access point (ap) multi-link device (mld) comprising a plurality of stations (stas) and a processor. each sta comprises a transceiver configured for broadcast twt operation on multi-link operation (mlo) links with corresponding aps of an ap mld. the processor is operably coupled to the transceivers, and configured to negotiate a broadcast twt schedule over a first link between a first sta and a first ap of the ap mld, apply the broadcast twt schedule to the group of links, negotiate a restricted twt schedule with the ap mld over at least one link of the group of links, and establish the restricted twt schedule on one or more links of the at least one link.
