Inventor(s) include Lin, Zinan; Lou, Hanqing; Wang, Xiaofei; Saad, Mahmoud; and Yang, Rui.
The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Method and devices for cross-link signaling are described in which a multi-link device (MLD) communicates to another device using a first wireless link and a secondary wireless link. Control and response information for establishing/maintaining the secondary wireless link may be communicated in signaling fields of a frame over the first wireless link to enable a more reliable control information exchange than may otherwise be available via the secondary wireless link. In some embodiments, the first wireless link is a sub-7GHz link and the secondary wireless link is a mmWave link. Signaling used for configuring parameters of the first wireless link, e.g., control field, A-Control subfield of HT Control field, Control Frame, BQR control subfield, HLA control subfield, TRS control field, etc., may be enhanced to provide related signaling for another separate link (secondary link) between devices that do not carry the signaling information."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 09, 2023, under International application No.PCT/US2023/079219.
