MLD BSS PARAMETERS CHANGE COUNT AT MLD LEVEL IN MANAGEMENT FRAMES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18571667 titled 'MLD BSS PARAMETERS CHANGE COUNT AT MLD LEVEL IN MANAGEMENT FRAMES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for signaling critical updates to BSS Parameters of reported affiliated APs using MLD Beacon frames.
- MLD Beacon frames include a Count that is incremented with each new critical update announced by reported APs.
- Non-AP stations in Power Save mode can access this information directly from the beacon frames without parsing complex information elements.
- Non-AP stations can request missing updated BSS parameters from reporting APs without waking up reported non-AP stations.
Key Features and Innovation
- Incrementing Count in MLD Beacon frames for critical updates.
- Direct access to BSS Parameters information for non-AP stations.
- Request mechanism for missing BSS parameters without waking up non-AP stations.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in wireless networks to efficiently update BSS Parameters of affiliated APs without causing unnecessary wake-ups.
Problems Solved
- Efficient signaling of critical updates to BSS Parameters.
- Simplified access to updated information for non-AP stations.
- Reduced bandwidth usage by omitting complex information elements.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
To signal critical updates to BSS Parameters of reported affiliated APs, a reporting AP of the same AP MLD includes a MLD BSS Parameters Change Count in the ML element of its ML beacon frames. The Count is incremented at each new BSS parameter critical update announced or reported by the reported affiliated APs over time. A non-AP station of a non-AP MLD in ML Power Save mode receives such beacon frame and then directly accesses this information without parsing the complex Reduced Neighbor Report information element. The RNR IE can thus be omitted to save bandwidth. Next, the non-AP station requests the reporting AP for the missing updated BSS parameters of the reported APs, without waking up the reported non-AP stations of the non-AP MLD. The BSS parameters for these reported non-AP stations can then be updated with low complexity.
