Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provides techniques for signaling ultra high reliability (UHR) support in wireless networks, including determining, by an access point (AP), one or more Ultra High Reliability (UHR)-related parameters associated with a neighboring AP, and transmitting, by the AP, one or more management frames to a non-AP station (STA), the one or more management frames comprising UHR indication information, where the UHR indication information comprises at least one of a value indicating that the neighboring AP supports UHR operations, or one or more UHR-related subelements comprising the one or more UHR-related parameters.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by an access point (AP), one or more Ultra High Reliability (UHR)-related parameters associated with a neighboring AP;
- and
- transmitting, by the AP, one or more management frames to a non-AP station (STA), the one or more management frames comprising UHR indication information,
- wherein the UHR indication information comprises at least one of:
- a value indicating that the neighboring AP supports UHR operations, or
- one or more UHR-related subelements comprising the one or more UHR-related parameters.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by an access point (AP), that support for an Ultra High Reliability (UHR) physical layer (PHY) is required for a non-AP station (STA) to join a Basic Service Set (BSS) associated with the AP;
- and
- transmitting, by the AP, one or more management frames to the non-AP STA, the one or more management frames comprising UHR indication information,
- wherein the UHR indication information comprises a Basic Service Set (BSS) membership selector value indicating a requirement for support of the UHR PHY.
A system of an access point (AP), comprising:
- one or more memories collectively containing one or more programs;
- and
- one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to, individually or collectively, perform an operation comprising:
- determining, by an access point (AP), one or more Ultra High Reliability (UHR)-related parameters associated with a neighboring AP;
- and
- transmitting, by the AP, one or more management frames to a non-AP station (STA), the one or more management frames comprising UHR indication information,
- wherein the UHR indication information comprises at least one of:
- a value indicating that the neighboring supports UHR operations, or
- one or more UHR-related subelements comprising the one or more UHR-related parameters.
