Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED MULTI-LINK MULTI RADIO (EMLMR) OPERATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/005440
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for facilitating enhanced multi-link multi-radio (EMLMR) operation of multi-link devices (MLDs). A non-access point (AP) MLD comprises EMLMR STAs, each of the EMLMR STAs comprising a transceiver configured to form a link with a corresponding AP of an AP MLD, and at least one processor. Each link is configured to support a respective basic modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and number of spatial streams (NSS), and the links are EMLMR links configured to operate in an EMLMR mode of operation in which the EMLMR links support an enhanced MCS and NSS. A first EMLMR STA of the EMLMR STAs, in the EMLMR mode of operation, is configured to perform a first EMLMR frame exchange with a first AP of the APs over a first link of the links. The at least one processor is operably coupled to the EMLMR STAs, and configured to control an operation of at least one second EMLMR STA of the EMLMR STAs on at least one second link of the links during the first EMLMR frame exchange.
