Title: Communication methods and device to signal Enhanced Multi-Link operating mode
Inventor: JULIEN SEVIN
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2021-09-15
Abstract: In wireless networks, such IEEE 802.11be, implementing multi-link transmissions, an Access Point Multi-Link Device, AP MLD, spontaneously sends an Enhanced Multi-Link Operating Mode, EML OM, Notification frame defining a proposal or suggestion to activate or deactivate or modify an EML Operating Mode Notification, optionally with a proposed set of Enhanced Multi-Link, EML, Links. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the addressee non-AP MLD initiates an EML OM activation or deactivation as suggested. Upon receiving a request for EML OM activation or deactivation, the AP MLD may refuse the request and respond with another proposed set of links. The signalling in the requesting frames may be simplified by using a single one-bit field to implicitly activate or deactivate the single EML OM, either EML Single-Radio, EMLSR, or EML Multi-Radio, EMLMR, mode, declared as supported during the association of the non-AP MLD, i.e. via an ELM capability declaration. The invention aims to reduce signalling overhead, whilst also allowing the activation/deactivation scheme to take into account the knowledge of the network by other (e.g. Access Point) MLDs than the requesting MLD soliciting the EML OM activation.
