Abstract
A wireless communication method performed by a first apparatus may include obtaining back-off counts of a plurality of links, when a back-off count of a first link among the plurality of links is zero, selecting a first or a second transmission method; when the first transmission method is selected, transmitting first data to a second apparatus over the first link, and when the second transmission method is selected, delaying transmission of the first data to the second apparatus until a back-off count of a second link among the plurality of links becomes zero.
Claims21
A wireless communication method performed by a first apparatus, the method comprising:
- obtaining back-off counts of a plurality of links;
- when a back-off count of a first link among the plurality of links is zero, selecting one of a first transmission method and a second transmission method;
- when the first transmission method is selected, immediately transmitting first data to a second apparatus over the first link;
- and
- when the second transmission method is selected, delaying transmission of the first data to the second apparatus until a back-off count of a second link among the plurality of links becomes zero.
A first apparatus configured to communicate with a second apparatus over a plurality of links, the first apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to provide functionality of stations respectively corresponding to the plurality of links;
- and
- a processing circuitry configured to control the transceiver,
- wherein the processing circuitry is configured to,
- when a back-off count of a first link among the plurality of links is zero, select one of a first transmission method and a second transmission method,
- when the first transmission method is selected, transmit first data to the second apparatus over the first link via the transceiver, and
- when the second transmission method is selected, delay transmission of the first data to the second apparatus until a back-off count of a second link among the plurality of links becomes zero.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions executable by at least one processor to perform a wireless communication method comprising:
- obtaining back-off counts of a plurality of links;
- when a back-off count of a first link among the plurality of links is zero, selecting one of a first transmission method and a second transmission method;
- when the first transmission method is selected, triggering transmission of first data over the first link;
- and
- when the second transmission method is selected, delaying transmission of the first data until a back-off count of a second link among the plurality of links becomes zero.
