Abstract
A system includes a first multi-link operation (MLO) device and a second MLO device. The first MLO device is to send a frame to the second MLO device via a first link. The frame includes a link occupancy information field, including link occupancy information of a second link.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a first multi-link operation (MLO) device;
- and
- a second MLO device, wherein the first MLO device is to:
- send a frame to the second MLO device via a first link, wherein the frame comprises a link occupancy information field comprising link occupancy information of a second link,
- wherein the frame comprises a legacy frame having a plurality of legacy fields and wherein the link occupancy information field is an additional field added to the plurality of legacy fields.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a frame from an access point, via a first link, wherein the frame comprises a link occupancy information field comprising link occupancy information of a second link;
- extracting the link occupancy information of the second link;
- and
- determining whether to switch to the second link based on the link occupancy information,
- wherein the frame comprises a legacy frame having a plurality of legacy fields, and wherein the link occupancy information field is an additional field added to the plurality of legacy fields.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining link occupancy information of a first link;
- and
- sending a frame to a station device, via a second link, wherein the frame comprises a link occupancy information field comprising the link occupancy information of the first link,
- wherein the frame comprises a legacy frame having a plurality of legacy fields, and wherein the link occupancy information field is an additional field added to the plurality of legacy fields.
