AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The current Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard does not define a method for sharing information about Multi Link Operation (MLO), making it difficult to configure MLO in a wireless mesh network, leading to interoperability issues with devices from different manufacturers and older models.

Method used

A relay device and control program that support IEEE802.11 standard MLO, enabling devices to autonomously determine MLO compatibility through connection information and acquire MLO configuration information when necessary, allowing flexible configuration of MLO in wireless mesh networks.

Benefits of technology

Enables flexible configuration of MLO in wireless mesh networks, ensuring compatibility and efficient data transmission without requiring additional implementations on the controller side, even with devices that do not support proprietary protocols.

Abstract

To provide a relay device and a control program that can flexibly configure MLO in a wireless mesh network.SOLUTION: Wireless LAN repeaters 10B and 10C are relay devices that are compatible with wireless mesh network communication and MLO of the IEEE802.11 standard and include a processor 11. The processor 11 receives connection information for connection to other devices in wireless mesh network communication, and performs processing to acquire MLO configuration information, which is information for configuring MLO, when instruction information to configure MLO cannot be read from the received connection information or when the connection information cannot be received.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
