MULTI-AP ASSOCIATION IDENTIFIERS MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240224076 titled 'MULTI-AP ASSOCIATION IDENTIFIERS MANAGEMENT
The patent application discusses methods, components, devices, and systems for multiple access point (AP) association with a single station (STA) to ensure a seamless transition with little to no service interruption during an active link transfer.
- The innovation involves an AP Multi-Link Device (MLD) and multiple AP members of the AP MLD communicating with the STA.
- The technology aims to improve the handover process between different APs, enhancing network connectivity for the STA.
- By allowing the STA to seamlessly switch between APs, the innovation ensures a continuous and stable connection for the user.
- The system optimizes network performance by efficiently managing the association of the STA with multiple APs.
- This innovation can be particularly beneficial in environments with multiple APs, such as large office buildings, airports, or shopping malls.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in various settings where seamless network transitions are crucial, such as smart homes, industrial IoT systems, and public Wi-Fi networks.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the issue of service interruptions during active link transfers between APs, providing a smoother user experience.
Benefits: Improved network connectivity, reduced service interruptions, enhanced user experience, optimized network performance, seamless transitions between APs.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the development of smart home systems, industrial automation, public Wi-Fi networks, and other applications requiring seamless network transitions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the AP Multi-Link Device (MLD) facilitate seamless transitions between APs for the STA? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale network environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for multiple access point (ap) association with a single station (sta) to provide a seamless transition (e.g., little to no service interruption during an active link transfer). some aspects more specifically relate to an ap multi-link device (mld) and multiple ap members of the ap mld, and their communications with the sta.
