PRIMARY LINK CHANGE PROCEDURE FOR A MOBILE AP MLD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055389 titled 'PRIMARY LINK CHANGE PROCEDURE FOR A MOBILE AP MLD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for facilitating a primary link change procedure for a mobile Access Point (AP) Multi-Link Device (MLD) in wireless communication.

  • The method involves forming links between the APs and corresponding stations (STAs) associated with a non-AP MLD.
  • The APs are instructed to form a primary link and a non-primary link with the corresponding STAs.
  • The primary link is designated as the main link, while the non-primary link is secondary.
  • If the primary link experiences degradation, a change in the primary link designation is made or a channel change procedure is implemented within the primary link.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems using AP MLDs.
  • Networks with multiple APs and STAs.
  • Environments where maintaining a stable primary link is crucial.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures continuous and reliable wireless communication by detecting and addressing degradation in the primary link.
  • Allows for seamless switching between primary and secondary links to maintain connectivity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and stability of wireless communication.
  • Reduces the impact of degradation in the primary link on overall network performance.
  • Enables efficient management of AP MLDs in mobile environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for facilitating a primary link change procedure for mobile AP MLD are provided. A method for wireless communication performed by an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), the AP MLD comprising APs forming a mobile AP MLD, the method comprising: forming links with corresponding stations (STAs) associated with a non-AP MLD; instructing the APs to form a first link and a second link with the corresponding STAs; designating the first link as a primary link and the second link as a non-primary link; determining that the primary link is experiencing degradation; and in response to determining that the primary link is experiencing degradation, effecting a change in the primary link designation, or implementing a channel change procedure to change a channel within the primary link.
