Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to seamless roaming for a NPCA capable station. In an aspect, an apparatus may transmit, to a first AP MLD, a seamless roaming request for transitioning a link from the first AP MLD to a second AP MLD. The apparatus may receive first information related to NPCA.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a non-access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), a seamless roaming request for transitioning a link from the apparatus to a second AP MLD;
- and
- transmit, to the non-AP MLD, first information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a first access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), second information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- transmit, to a first access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), a seamless roaming request for transitioning a link from the first AP MLD to a second AP MLD;
- and
- receive first information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- operate on a primary channel of a second access-point (AP) affiliated with a second AP multi-link device (MLD) or a non-primary channel access (NPCA) primary channel of the second AP when a non-AP MLD uses seamless roaming for transitioning a link from a first AP MLD to the second AP MLD based on a status of the second AP, wherein the apparatus is affiliated with the non-AP MLD.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a non-access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), a seamless roaming request for transitioning a link from the apparatus to a second AP MLD;
- and
- transmitting, to the non-AP MLD, first information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), second information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
A method comprising:
- transmitting, to a first access-point (AP) multi-link device (MLD), a seamless roaming request for transitioning a link from the first AP MLD to a second AP MLD;
- and
- receiving first information related to non-primary channel access (NPCA).
A method comprising:
- operating on a primary channel of a second access-point (AP) affiliated with a second AP multi-link device (MLD) or a non-primary channel access (NPCA) primary channel of the second AP when a non-AP MLD uses seamless roaming for transitioning a link from a first AP MLD to the second AP MLD based on a status of the second AP, wherein the apparatus is affiliated with the non-AP MLD.
