Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for intra-band enhanced multilink single-radio (eMLSR) communication. Some aspects more specifically relate to independently contending, using a single radio, for access on first and second links associated with first and second primary subchannels of a channel. A packet may then be transmitted, using the single radio, over a one of the first link or the second link on which contention is won.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication by a first wireless communication device, comprising:
- independently contending concurrently, using a single radio, for access on each of a first link associated with a first primary subchannel of a first channel and a second link associated with a second primary subchannel of the first channel;
- and
- transmitting, using the single radio, a first packet to a second wireless communication device over a one of the first link or the second link on which the contention is won.
A first wireless communication device, comprising:
- one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
- and
- one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively configured to, when executing the code, cause the first wireless communication device to:
- independently contend concurrently, using a single radio, for access on each of a first link associated with a first primary subchannel of a first channel and a second link associated with a second primary subchannel of the first channel;
- and
- transmit, using the single radio, a first packet to a second wireless communication device over a one of the first link or the second link on which the contention is won.
A first wireless communication device, comprising:
- means for independently contending concurrently, using a single radio, for access on each of a first link associated with a first primary subchannel of a first channel and a second link associated with a second primary subchannel of the first channel;
- and
- means for transmitting, using the single radio, a first packet to a second wireless communication device over a one of the first link or the second link on which the contention is won.
