CRITICAL BSS PARAMETER MANAGEMENT METHOD APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE LINK AND RELATED APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148876 titled 'CRITICAL BSS PARAMETER MANAGEMENT METHOD APPLICABLE TO MULTIPLE LINK AND RELATED APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about methods and apparatus for managing critical basic service set (BSS) parameters in a wireless local area network (WLAN) supporting the 802.11 be standard. It specifically focuses on managing BSS parameters for multiple links.

  • The application describes a method where a first access point (AP) in a multi-link device generates and sends a frame indicating critical BSS parameter update count values for multiple APs in the same multi-link device and for multiple APs in another multi-link device.
  • The second multi-link device includes a nontransmitted AP that belongs to a multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set that also includes the first AP.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless local area networks (WLANs) supporting the 802.11 be standard.
  • Multi-link devices in WLANs.
  • Networks with multiple access points (APs) that need to manage critical BSS parameters.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient management of critical BSS parameters in WLANs with multiple links.
  • Simplifying the process of updating and synchronizing BSS parameters across multiple APs.
  • Ensuring accurate and timely transmission of BSS parameter update count values.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance and reliability of WLANs with multiple links.
  • Enhanced coordination and synchronization between APs in multi-link devices.
  • Simplified management of critical BSS parameters in complex network environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application relates to the wireless communication field, and in particular, to critical basic service set (BSS) parameter management methods and apparatus applicable to multiple links, for example, in a wireless local area network supporting the 802.11 be standard. In an example method includes, a first access point (AP) in a first access point multi-link device (AP MLD) generates and sends a first frame. The first frame indicates critical BSS parameter update count values corresponding to a plurality of APs in the first AP MLD and critical BSS parameter update count values corresponding to a plurality of APs in a second AP MLD. The second AP MLD is an AP MLD to which a nontransmitted AP belongs. The nontransmitted AP is in a multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set including the first AP.
