Abstract
A link control method, apparatus and storage medium that improves spectrum utilization in a wireless network. The utilization of the spectrum is improved by: receiving a communication frame sent from a first station (STA) in a first link; and in response to determining that a signal strength RSSI value is lower than a first RSSI threshold, sending a disassociation frame to the first STA, wherein the first RSSI threshold is an RSSI threshold corresponding to the first link, and the disassociation frame is at least for disassociating the first AP from the first STA in the first link.
Claims21
A link control method, performed by a first access point (AP), the first AP being one AP affiliated to an AP multi-link device (MLD), the method comprising:
- receiving a communication frame sent from a first station (STA) in a first link;
- and
- in response to determining that a received signal strength indication (RSSI) value is lower than a first RSSI threshold, sending a disassociation frame to the first STA, wherein the first RSSI threshold is an RSSI threshold corresponding to the first link, and the disassociation frame is at least for disassociating the first AP from the first STA in the first link.
A link control method, performed by a first station (STA), the method comprising:
- sending a communication frame to a first access point (AP) in a first link, the first AP being any one AP affiliated to an AP multi-link device (MLD);
- and
- in response to receiving a disassociation frame from the first AP in the first link, disassociating from the first AP in the first link based on the disassociation frame.
-14. (canceled)
A link control apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory, configured to store instructions executable by the one or more processors;
- wherein the one or more processors are collectively configured to:
- send a communication frame from a first station (STA) to a first access point (AP) in a first link, the first AP being any one AP affiliated to an AP multi-link device (MLD);
- and
- in response to receiving a disassociation frame from the first AP in the first link, disassociate from the first AP in the first link based on the disassociation frame.
