Abstract
A link reachability determining method to enable a multi-link device to determine whether a link is reachable in an uplink direction, includes: a multi-link STA receives a first frame sent by a multi-link AP on a first link, where the first frame includes transmit power and antenna gain information of each AP of the multi-link AP; and then, the multi-link STA determines, based on the first frame, whether each of M links supported by the multi-link STA is reachable in an uplink direction.
Claims20
A method applied to a multi-link station (STA), the method comprising:
- receiving a first frame sent by a multi-link access point (AP) on a first link supported by the multi-link STA, wherein the first frame comprises link information of the first link, the link information of the first link comprises transmit power of a first AP, and the first AP is one AP of the multi-link AP and is operating on the first link;
- and
- determining, based on the link information of the first link, whether the first link is reachable in an uplink direction.
A apparatus, applied to a multi-link station (STA), the apparatus comprising at least one processor and a memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor;
- wherein, when executed, the instructions cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first frame sent by a multi-link access point (AP) on a first link supported by the multi-link STA, wherein the first frame comprises link information of the first link, the link information of the first link comprises transmit power of a first AP, and the first AP is one AP of the multi-link AP and is operating on the first link;
- and
- determining, based on the link information of the first link, whether the first link is reachable in an uplink direction.
