Base Station Multi-Link Management Across Frequency Bands

The base station is segmented into multiple independent wireless signal processing units (first wireless signal processing unit, second wireless signal processing unit) that operate on different frequency bands. Each unit can independently establish links with terminal apparatuses, allowing the system to achieve improved reliability through multi-band operation while maintaining modular architecture that manages complexity.

The link management unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle link establishment, link cancellation, and multi-link management across different frequency bands. It can manage links established by different wireless signal processing units and coordinate multi-link operations, making a single component perform multiple functions that would otherwise require separate dedicated systems.

Multiple wireless signal processing units operating on different frequency bands are merged under the coordination of a single link management unit. This allows simultaneous data transmission across multiple bands (increasing productivity) while consolidating management functions in one centralized component, thereby managing rather than multiplying complexity.

The link management unit performs preliminary actions by establishing and managing links across multiple frequency bands before actual data transmission begins. It proactively sets up the multi-link infrastructure, assigns resources, and prepares the communication paths in advance, enabling high-speed data transmission without requiring complex real-time decision-making during active communication.

Association processing is executed in advance on multiple frequency bands before actual communication begins. The link management unit establishes links across multiple bands through preliminary association processing with the terminal apparatus, so that when communication starts, reliable multi-band paths are already in place, reducing time loss during active communication.

The association processing is segmented and distributed across multiple wireless signal processing units operating on different bands. Each unit independently performs association processing with the terminal apparatus, allowing parallel execution of association tasks rather than sequential processing, thereby reducing total processing time while maintaining reliability through multi-band link establishment.
