Abstract: The invention concerns the advertisement of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, AIML, capabilities between stations of a wireless network. AIML technology can be used to drive communication features or mechanisms within the network. A first station transmits, to a second station, a management frame including AIML profile information defining a profile of AIML capabilities at the first station. The AIML profile information is based on pre-defined AIML profiles or sub-profiles. A non-AP station may receive such AIML profile information from two or more AP stations and then select one of these AP stations that best matches its own AIML capabilities, to join its BSS. Similarly, an AP station receiving such AIML profile information from a non-AP station may decide whether to accept or refuse an association of the non-AP station to its BSS.

Abstract: A communication device conforming to a standard of a IEEE 802.11 series determines one or more frequency bands that the communication device can use for communication, generates a frame in which information of the determined one or more frequency bands is included, and transmits the generated frame. The frame includes a Multi-band element for notifying the information of the determined one or more frequency bands, and the information indicating the determined one or more frequency bands is included in a Band ID field for identifying the frequency band in the Multi-band element. The determined one or more frequency bands include a 6 GHz band.

Abstract: In a communication device capable of establishing a plurality of links in parallel with another communication device, a request for a TID (Traffic identifier) and link assignment, the TID indicating a priority of data, is received, and a response to the received request is transmitted. At this time, in a case where a first request is accepted and a second request is unaccepted among received requests, a response indicating that the first request is accepted and the second request is unaccepted is transmitted.

Abstract: In a communication device capable of establishing a plurality of links in parallel with another communication device, a request for a TID (Traffic identifier) and link assignment, the TID indicating a priority of data, is transmitted, and, in a case where a first request is accepted and a second request is unaccepted among transmitted requests, communication is started using a first link corresponding to the first request before an assignment of a second link corresponding to the second request is completed.
