Abstract:
A WLAN protocol which addresses a fairness issue in sharing MLD link access between STR and NSTR MLDs. The protocol allows NSTR MLDs to be transmitting under certain circumstances even when receiving on the other link of the NSTR link pair. A process is described in which an NSTR timer is utilized in a process of determining whether an NSTR MLD is allowed to transmit on a link of a NSTR link pair of the NSTR MLD even when it is receiving on the other link of the NSTR link pair. Numerous examples are described for utilizing this enhanced WLAN protocol.
