Abstract:
A method is provided in which an AP of a MLD AP device may decide to include all out-of-link BSS parameters updates in a beacon frame (beacon). A flag is included in the beacon frame to indicate that all updates are included in the beacon frame and thus the client device that receives the beacon frame should not send probe request frames (probe requests) to obtain these updates. Thus, a non-AP MLD that receives a beacon frame with the above indication and that has all critical BSS parameters corresponding to the Change Sequence Number (CSN) that preceded the updates indicated by the AP, should not send probe requests to obtain the updated parameters. The number of bits to assign to the complete BSS Update Report Indication flag may vary depending on the number of updates to be reported.
