  • Patent number: 12279197
    Abstract: A method (30) and system (10) for controlling wireless local area network (WLAN) user quality in a multi-access point environment is provided. In order to ensure good quality of service/user experience in a multi-access point Wi-Fi™ setup in which a user roams with a station (14), the access points (11, 12) continuously or at intervals assess the wireless environment's quality and report to a control entity (13). The control entity (13) determines, from the assessment data, alternative target access points (11, 12) that could be used in case the link quality of a current connection between an access point (11) and the station (14) falls below a predefined value. The control entity (13) then instructs the access point (11) to actively disconnect the station (14) and selects a new target access point (12) to accept the stations (14) connection request.

  • Patent number: 12238680
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to sidelink-assisted virtual multi-link. In one aspect, for example, a relay node may serve as an additional virtual antenna panel for a UE by receiving downlink data from a base station via an access link, or receiving uplink data from the UE via a sidelink. The relay node may forward the downlink data to the UE via sidelink, or the uplink data to the base station via the access link. In another aspect, a base station may determine, for a UE, quasi-colocation (QCL) information and a grant for one or both of one or more access link resources or one or more sidelink resources. The base station may further transmit, to the UE, the QCL information and the grant on a downlink communication channel.
