  • Patent number: 12690077
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for concurrent link setup and downlink data retrieval, e.g., for high efficiency WLAN. An access point (AP) may send a trigger element that allocates a resource for pre-association transmissions with the AP. The trigger element may allocate the resource for random access and/or deterministic access. The AP may receive, from an unassociated STA, a first frame via one or more resource units (RUs) allocated in the trigger element. The AP may determine a pre-association identifier (PID) that identifies the unassociated STA. The AP may send the PID to the unassociated STA, for example, in the trigger element or in the multi-STA ACK. The AP may send a second frame associated with a multi-user (MU) transmission that includes the PID. The AP may send a trigger frame that includes the PID.

  • Publication number: 20260181737
    Abstract: Method and devices for cross-link signaling are described in which a multi-link device (MLD) communicates to another device using a first wireless link and a secondary wireless link. Control and response information for establishing/maintaining the secondary wireless link may be communicated in signaling fields of a frame over the first wireless link to enable a more reliable control information exchange than may otherwise be available via the secondary wireless link. In some embodiments, the first wireless link is a sub-7 GHz link and the secondary wireless link is a mmWave link. Signaling used for configuring parameters of the first wireless link, e.g., control field, A-Control subfield of HT Control field, Control Frame, BQR control subfield, HLA control subfield, TRS control field, etc., may be enhanced to provide related signaling for another separate link (secondary link) between devices that do not carry the signaling information.
