MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION METHOD AND MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18292668 titled 'MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION METHOD AND MULTI-LINK COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
The multi-link communication method involves determining a first message frame on one link of multiple links, where the frame includes identification information indicating data buffering for a device in a sleep state on at least one link, and supporting a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) function on that link. The method then sends the first message frame.
- Identification information in the first message frame signals data buffering for a sleeping device.
- TDLS function support is provided on at least one link.
- The method optimizes communication efficiency in a multi-link environment.
Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Mobile devices with multiple communication links
Problems Solved: - Efficient data buffering for sleeping devices - Enhanced communication performance in multi-link setups
Benefits: - Improved power efficiency for devices in sleep mode - Faster data transmission in multi-link configurations
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Multi-Link Communication for IoT Devices This technology can be utilized in IoT devices to optimize communication efficiency and power consumption, leading to improved performance and longer battery life. It can also benefit wireless communication systems by enhancing data transmission speed and reliability in multi-link environments.
Questions about Multi-Link Communication: 1. How does the support for TDLS function improve communication in a multi-link setup? Support for the TDLS function allows for direct communication between devices, bypassing the access point and reducing latency in data transmission. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this multi-link communication method in real-world applications? Implementing this method may require compatibility with existing communication protocols and hardware, as well as ensuring seamless integration with different devices and networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
The multi-link communication method includes: determining a first message frame on one link of multiple links, where the first message frame includes identification information for indicating that data is buffered for a device in a sleep state on at least one link of the multiple links, and a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) function is supported on the at least one link; and sending the first message frame.
