  • Patent number: 11943811
    Abstract: A non-AP MLD or a first STA in the non-AP MLD generates a first frame. The first frame includes indication information for indicating padding duration for a channel switch delay in an initial control frame. The padding duration is determined based on duration of a control response frame. The non-AP MLD or the first STA or another STA in the non-AP MLD transmits the first frame. An AP MLD or a first AP or another AP in the AP MLD receives the first frame. The AP MLD or the first AP determines the padding duration of the initial control frame based on the indication information.

  • Patent number: 11910448
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing random access for devices seeking access to dual connectivity. Both master nodes and secondary nodes in dual connectivity have 64 available preambles that can be used for random access. By reserving preambles for devices that are requesting access to dual connectivity, a radio access network can assign random access preambles to said devices, enabling them to use contention free random access to gain access to both a master node and a secondary node. In some aspects random access preambles will only be assigned to devices requesting access to dual connectivity if they have a sufficiently high priority level.
