Non-access point multilink devices, access point multilink devices, and wireless communication methods

Abstract

The invention proposes a method, device, and system for transmitting information across multiple links, for example, by bolding the unit (BU) indicator on each traffic identifier (T1D) to transmit to multi-link devices (MLDs). An innovative aspect of the object described in the invention can be implemented using traditional wireless methods. This method can be implemented, for example, by an MLD that is not an access point (not an AP). Non-AP MLDs can receive association identifiers (AIDs) associated with non-AP MLDs, where the AID indicates whether the AP has BUs for non-AP MLDs, identifies one or more links associated with one or more TIDs based on mappings of multiple TIDs, includes one or more TIDs, includes multiple links, receives BUs associated with one or more TIDs from the AP on the identified links. The invention relates to a multi-link device (MLD) of the access point type.
