  • Patent number: 11924898
    Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

  • Patent number: 11924875
    Abstract: A transmitter (12) obtains data packets at a higher layer (16A) of a protocol stack (16), and duplicates each data packet at the higher layer (16A) to obtain duplicates of each data packet. The duplicates are transmitted on different respective channels from the higher layer (16A) to a lower layer (16B) of the protocol stack (16). The transmitter (12) generates different transport blocks to include data from the different respective channels, such that the duplicates of each data packet are conveyed by different transport blocks. For each transport block, the transmitter (12) transmits or does not transmit at least a part of the transport block within at least a part of a different respective transmission opportunity on a link (26) to a receiver (14) using unlicensed frequency spectrum (28), depending on whether or not a channel sensing procedure indicates the unlicensed frequency spectrum (28) is clear during that at least part of the transmission opportunity.
