MULTI-LINK HIBERNATION MODE FOR WLAN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18213674 titled 'MULTI-LINK HIBERNATION MODE FOR WLAN
Simplified Explanation
Some aspects of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing a hibernation mode for multi-link wireless communication networks such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, some aspects relate to a multi-link device (MLD) including a first station (STA) associated with a first link of a wireless network and configured to communicate with a second MLD over the first link. The MLD also includes a second STA associated with a second link of the wireless network. The second STA is in a hibernation mode. The MLD also includes one or more processors communicatively coupled to the first and second STAs and configured to control operations of the first and second STAs.
- Apparatuses and methods for implementing a hibernation mode for multi-link wireless communication networks
- Multi-link device (MLD) includes first and second stations (STAs) associated with different links of the wireless network
- Second STA can be in a hibernation mode while first STA communicates with other devices
- Processors control operations of the first and second STAs
Potential Applications
- Efficient power management in multi-link wireless communication networks
- Improved network performance by allowing certain devices to hibernate while others handle communication
Problems Solved
- Power consumption optimization in multi-link wireless networks
- Balancing network load by selectively hibernating devices
Benefits
- Extended battery life for devices in the network
- Enhanced network efficiency and performance
- Better resource utilization through hibernation mode for certain devices
