METHODS AND PROCEDURE FOR NSTR START TIME SYNCHRONIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339161 titled 'METHODS AND PROCEDURE FOR NSTR START TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) start time synchronization in wireless communication. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The method is performed by a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that consists of stations (STAs).
- The MLD forms links with corresponding APs.
- It detects non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pairs.
- It detects an attempt by a first STA to synchronize start times of physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) with a second STA.
- The first STA holds a backoff counter at zero during a backoff hold time duration.
- The method determines the backoff hold time duration.
- It also determines the number of time intervals that can fit into the backoff hold time duration.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Multi-link devices
- Non-access point devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Synchronization of start times in non-simultaneous transmit/receive links
- Efficient utilization of backoff time during communication
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved synchronization in wireless communication
- Enhanced efficiency in utilizing backoff time
- Better performance and reliability in multi-link devices
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for non-simultaneous transmit/receive (NSTR) start time synchronization are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) that comprises stations (STAs), the method comprising: forming links with corresponding APs of an AP MLD; detecting a non-simultaneous transmit and receive (NSTR) link pairs; detecting an attempt by a first STA of the NSTR link pairs to synchronize start times of physical layer protocol data units (PPDUs) with a second STA of the NSTR link pairs, wherein the first STA is configured to hold a backoff counter at a value of zero during a backoff hold time duration; determining the backoff hold time duration; and determining a number of time intervals that can fit into the backoff hold time duration.
