[0033] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0034] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an association identifier allocation method, a receiving method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to improve the process of communicating simultaneously in the sub7GHz+45GHz and / or 60GHz frequency bands.

[0035] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0036] As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for allocating an association identifier. Optionally, the method may be applied to an access point (AP) device, such as a device having a wireless to wired bridging function.

[0037] The method may include the following steps:

[0038] Step 101: determine a first radio frame; wherein the first radio frame includes identification information, and the identification information includes an association identifier AID allocated to the site device in the sub7 GHz frequency band and in the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz frequency band.

[0039] In a wireless local area network (WLAN), a Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of an AP and one or more stations (STAs) communicating with the AP. A BSS can connect to a distribution system (DS) through its AP, and then to another BSS to form an Extended Service Set (ESS). The AP is responsible for extending the services provided by the wired network to the wireless network; STAs, such as electronic devices with wireless network access capabilities, provide frame delivery services to enable information transmission.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the AP and STA may be devices that support multi-connectivity, for example, they may be represented as AP MLD and non-AP MLD, respectively. For ease of description, the following mainly describes an example of communication between an AP and a STA under multi-connectivity, however, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0041] As a first example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , an AP MLD may represent an access point supporting a multi-connection communication function, and a non-AP MLD may represent a station supporting a multi-connection communication function.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2 , an AP MLD may include three subordinate APs, such as AP1, AP2, and AP3. Each AP may operate in connection 1, connection 2, and connection 3, respectively. A non-AP MLD may also include three subordinate STAs, such as STA1, STA2, and STA3, as shown in Figure 2 . STA1 operates in connection 1, STA2 operates in connection 2, and STA3 operates in connection 3. In Figure 3 , AP1 and STA1 form BSS1, and AP2 and STA2 form BSS2. In the example of Figure 2 , it is assumed that AP1 and STA1 communicate via a corresponding first connection, Link 1. Similarly, AP2 and STA2 communicate via a corresponding second connection, Link 2. The AP communicates with STA3 via a third connection, Link 3. Furthermore, Links 1 through 3 can each be multiple connections at different frequencies, for example, connections at 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz, or several 2.4 GHz connections of the same or different bandwidths. Furthermore, each connection can have multiple channels. It is understandable that the communication scenario shown in Figure 2 is only exemplary and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the AP MLD can be connected to multiple (more than three) non-AP MLDs, or in each connection, the AP can communicate with multiple other types of stations.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the AP and the STA support simultaneous communication in the sub7 GHz + 45 GHz (and / or 60 GHz frequency band); the AP determines a first radio frame, where the first radio frame includes identification information, and the identification information includes an association identifier (AID) allocated to the site device in the sub7 GHz frequency band and in the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz frequency band; that is, the identification information includes an AID allocated to the STA in the sub7 GHz frequency band (hereinafter referred to as AID-1 for ease of description) and an AID in the 45 GHz / 60 GHz frequency band (hereinafter referred to as AID-2 for ease of description). The AID may be a unique identifier of the STA in the BSS.

[0044] AID-1 and AID-2 can be the same AID or two AIDs. If AID-1 and AID-2 are the same AID, AID-1 and AID-2 can be 16 bits. If AID-1 and AID-2 are different AIDs, AID-1 can be 16 bits and AID-2 can be 8 bits.

[0045] Optionally, as a second example, the first radio frame may be an association response (Probe Response) frame, and the association response frame format is shown in the following Table 1:

[0046] Table 1:

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] As shown in Table 1, the Order 3 field carries an AID, and the AID length may be 16 bits.

[0050] Step 102: Send the first wireless frame.

[0051] The AP sends the first radio frame, so that the STA communicates simultaneously in the sub7 GHz frequency band and in the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz frequency band according to the AID, meeting the UHR requirement.

[0052] It is understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "and / or" refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items; for example, "A and / or B" includes: A, B, A and B; specifically, the simultaneous communication at sub7 GHz and 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure includes at least one of the following scenarios (1) to (3):

[0053] Scenario (1) Communication in the sub7GHz and 45GHz frequency bands;

[0054] Scenario (2) Communication in the sub7GHz and 60GHz bands;

[0055] Scenario (3) communicating in the sub7 GHz and 45 GHz frequency bands, and communicating in the sub7 GHz and 60 GHz frequency bands.

[0056] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for allocating an association identifier. Optionally, the method may be applied to an AP, such as a device having a wireless to wired bridging function.

[0057] The method may include the following steps:

[0058] Determine a first radio frame; wherein the first radio frame includes identification information, and the identification information includes an association identifier AID allocated to the site device in the sub7GHz frequency band and the 45GHz and / or 60GHz frequency band; wherein,

[0059] The identification information includes a first AID, where the first AID is an AID in the sub7 GHz frequency band and in the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz frequency band;

[0060] The first radio frame is sent.

[0061] The same AID (i.e., the first AID) is used to identify the AIDs in the sub7 GHz band and the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz bands. The first AID can occupy 16 bits. However, when the AP assigns a value to it, if the value is less than or equal to 255, 8 of the 16 bits are used to identify the first AID.

[0062] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for allocating an association identifier. Optionally, the method may be applied to an AP, such as a device having a wireless to wired bridging function.

[0063] The method may include the following steps:

[0065] The identification information includes a second AID and a third AID, where the second AID is an AID in the sub7 GHz frequency band, and the third AID is an AID in the 45 GHz and / or 60 GHz frequency band.

[0066] The first radio frame is sent.

[0067] Among them, two AIDs (the second AID and the third AID) are used to identify the AIDs in the sub7GHz band and the 45GHz and / or 60GHz band respectively. The second AID can occupy a length of 16 bits, and the third AID can occupy a length of 8 bits. However, when the AP assigns a value to the second AID, if its value is less than or equal to 255, the second AID uses 8 bits of the 16 bits.

[0068] Optionally, the third AID is carried in a multi-link information element, a bandwidth information element, or a neighbor report information element.

[0069] As a third example, the format of the neighbor report information element is shown in Table 2 below:

[0071]

[0072] The third AID may be carried in the BSSID information field.

[0073] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for allocating an association identifier. Optionally, the method may be applied to an AP, such as a device having a wireless to wired bridging function.

[0077] The first radio frame is sent.

[0078] The neighbor report information element includes a first identifier, which indicates whether the third AID is present in the neighbor report information element. As a fourth example, the first identifier may be carried in a reserved field of the BSSID information field, as shown in Table 3 below:

[0086] Among them, the first AID and / or the third AID also include: the connection identifier of the target connection of each AID in the 45GHz and / or 60GHz frequency band and / or the parameter information of the target connection; for example, if the first AID and / or the third AID include an AID under 45GHz, then the first AID and / or the third AID correspondingly include the connection identifier of the target connection of the AID under 45GHz and / or the parameter information of the target connection. If the first AID and / or the third AID include an AID under 60GHz, then the first AID and / or the third AID correspondingly include the connection identifier of the target connection of the AID under 60GHz and / or the parameter information of the target connection.
