To prevent a client device from being stranded, a steering controller of an access point device can provide an improved network environment or performance by steering a target client device to a basic service set (BSS) of a network device that is different from the current BSS of the target client device based on a first or a poor link quality threshold where non-associated client (NAC) link quality parameters for NAC network devices within the network environment, such as a mesh network, is not available. The steering controller can select or identify a candidate BSS and then send a steering query to the target client device. The steering controller can receive a response from the target client device that indicates whether the steering to the candidate BSS was successful or accepted by the targeted client device.

A wireless communication protocol using CSMA/CA, EDCA and R-TWT to prioritize RTA traffic transmissions. During an R-TWT SP, the RTA traffic is prioritized for transmission and mechanisms are provided for assuring proper indications and termination of the R-TWT SP. During this process, member STAs communicate with the R-TWT scheduling AP when they have no more frames to send. The R-TWT scheduling AP can also terminate the R-TWT SP before its scheduled end time, allowing non-member STAs to immediately contend for the channel. In addition, the R-TWT scheduling AP can exchange frames with STAs, that have an R-TWT feature but are not R-TWT member STAs, after frame exchanges with the R-TWT member STAs during the R-TWT SP have been completed.

In response to a first communication device determining that a specific wireless local area network (WLAN) communication link has been negotiated with a second communication device for traffic corresponding to a first traffic identifier (TID), the first communication device transmits packets corresponding to the first TID to the second communication device only via the specific WLAN communication link. In response to the first communication device determining that no WLAN communication link has been negotiated with the second communication device for traffic corresponding to a second TID, transmitting, by the first communication device, packets corresponding to the second TID to the second communication device via multiple WLAN communication links.

Communication devices and methods for multi-link secured retransmissions are provided. One exemplary embodiment provides a multi-link device (MLD) configured to operate with a first plurality of affiliated STAs, comprising: circuitry, which in operation, sets up a robust security network association (RSNA) with a second MLD that is configured to operate with a second plurality of affiliated STAs, wherein two or more links have been established between STAs of the first plurality of affiliated STAs and corresponding STAs of the second plurality of affiliated STAs, wherein the circuitry constructs an Additional Authentication Data (AAD) and a Nonce that are used for cryptographical encapsulation of a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) to form an encapsulated MPDU, wherein the AAD includes an Address 1 (A1) field, an Address 2 (A2) field, an Address 3 (A3) field and a Sequence Control (SC) field, and the Nonce includes an Address 2 (A2) field, wherein the SC field of the AAD is based on a SC field of the MPDU, and transmitter, which in operation, transmits the encapsulated MPDU to the second MLD on a first link as an initial transmission, and upon failure of the initial transmission, retransmits the encapsulated MPDU on a second link without reperforming the cryptographical encapsulation.

A data transmission method and a data transmission apparatus are provided. The data transmission method, performed by the data transmission apparatus, wherein the data transmission apparatus includes a first communication unit and a second communication unit, both the first communication unit and the second communication unit transmit data using a first communication protocol, wherein the method includes: the first communication unit acquiring media data from an electronic apparatus; the first communication unit sending the media data to the second communication unit using the first communication protocol; and the second communication unit receiving the media data, and sending the media data to an interactive white board using the first communication protocol.

Provided are a data transmission method and apparatus and a storage medium. The data transmission method includes that a first communication node succeeds in channel contention on a first channel; the first communication node performs channel detection on a second channel within the preset duration before the sending moment of the first channel to acquire a detection result; and the first communication node sends a notification frame to a second communication node on the second channel in response to the detection result being idle, where the notification frame is used for instructing the second communication node not to send data on the second channel.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a reassociation indication method and apparatus, and a communication device. The method comprises: sending a beacon frame of a multi-transport connection, the beacon frame comprising a reassociation information element; the reassociation information element comprising: indication information used for indicating reassociation request frame transmission.

The present technology relates to a wireless communication apparatus and a wireless communication method that make it possible to achieve an improvement in the number of multiplexing on a non-orthogonal axis.

The wireless communication apparatus transmits a signal including information for setting of an occupancy period of a wireless transmission path on a basis of extraction processing time required for processing, which includes interference cancellation processing in communication using non-orthogonal multiplexing, to extract desired data from a received signal. The present technology is applicable to a wireless communication system.

A station apparatus according to the present invention includes a physical layer frame generator configured to selectively use a first coding scheme and a second coding scheme, a transmitter configured to transmit a frame including a control signal, and a higher layer processor configured to configure either the first coding scheme or the second coding scheme for information bits included in the frame, based on the control information, wherein the control signal includes first information indicating whether a reception method for changing a carrier sense level is allowed for a communication apparatus that receives the frame.

First information received by a first MLD on a first link is used to determine whether a BSS configuration of a second link is updated. In response to the BSS configuration of the second link not being updated, the first MLD directly transmits a data frame on the switched-to second link or the second link whose status is transited, and the data frame is not transmitted until a beacon frame is received and a latest parameter of the BSS configuration is obtained on the switched-to second link or the second link whose status is transited. A waiting time occurring before the data frame is transmitted is reduced.
