Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in managing block acknowledgment (BA) protocol parameters, particularly in multi-link devices, leading to increased signaling overheads and complex parameter modifications.

A method for modifying BA protocol parameters through exchange of modification request and response frames, utilizing BA protocol identification information and indication information to reduce overheads and simplify parameter adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional BA protocol parameter modification methods are used, then parameter adjustments can be made, but signaling overheads increase and the process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a modification request frame that carries specific parameter modification information. This frame includes fields such as dialog token, starting sequence control, and parameter modification information that directly modify BA protocol parameters through structured data exchange, avoiding complex procedural modifications while achieving adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the parameter modification process into distinct frame structures: modification request frames for initiating changes and modification response frames for confirming modifications. This segmentation organizes the complex modification process into manageable, standardized components that reduce overall system complexity while maintaining flexibility.
2Manufacturing precision
If detailed link information is included in modification frames, then complete parameter control is achieved, but signaling overheads increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential parameter modification information needed for BA protocol adjustments into the modification request frame. By taking out only the critical fields (dialog token, starting sequence control, parameter modification information) and excluding redundant link details, the patent achieves precise parameter control while minimizing signaling overhead.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by including only the necessary subset of link information required for parameter modification rather than complete link details. This selective inclusion provides sufficient precision for parameter control without the excessive overhead of transmitting all possible link parameters.

AI summary
This disclosure provides methods for modifying a block acknowledgment (BA) protocol parameter. One example method includes a first device that receives a multi-traffic identifier (multi-TID) BA setup request frame comprising multiple pieces of BA protocol identification information from a second device, where the multi-TID BA setup request frame is used to set up parameter information of multiple BA protocols identified by the multiple pieces of BA protocol identification information. The first device sends a multi-TID BA setup response frame to the second device, where the multi-TID BA setup response frame is used to respond to the multi-TID BA setup request frame.
