Abstract: This application provides a multi-link-based communication method and an apparatus, to resolve a problem of an improper switching operation in an MLO. This application is applied to a wireless local area network system that supports a next-generation Wi-Fi protocol of IEEE 802.11ax, for example, 802.11 series protocols such as 802.11be, Wi-Fi 7, or EHT, and a next generation protocol of 802.11be, Wi-Fi 8, or Wi-Fi AI, and may be applied to a UWB-based wireless personal local area network system and a sensing system. According to the method, a related condition of a group addressed frame other than a trigger frame, a multi-station block acknowledgment frame, and a no-data PPDU announcement frame is added to a condition set, so that a non-AP STA can determine, based on information about the group addressed frame when performing a switching operation, whether to switch to a listening operation mode.

Abstract: Improvements in image quality can be obtained by leveraging non-linear neural-network based feature recovery across multiple imaging modalities. Input imaging data is acquired, including first imaging data and second imaging data acquired using different imaging modalities. The first imaging data can have lower image quality and a larger FOV than the second imaging data. The first and second imaging data can be aligned and the aligned regions can be used to train a neural network to minimize the difference between the second imaging data and output data processed from the overlapping portion of the first imaging data. Once trained, the neural network can be used to generate improved image quality output from all of the first imaging data.
