    摘要: A multi-link wireless access point (AP) is configured to exchange a plurality of frames via a plurality of setup links with a plurality of multi-link wireless non-AP stations in a wireless communication network. The multi-link wireless AP comprises a communication interface configured to send a management frame to at least one of the plurality of multi-link wireless non-AP stations operating on a first setup link, wherein the management frame comprises information for the at least one of the plurality of multi-link wireless non-AP stations for identifying at least the first setup link of the plurality of setup links to be disabled. The multi-link wireless AP further comprises a processing circuitry configured to, in response to sending the management frame, disable at least the first setup link for reducing a power required to operate at least the first setup link.

    摘要: A wireless access point, AP, (110a) is disclosed, which is configured to share a transmission opportunity with at least one further wireless access point (110b) within a Multi-AP set using a Coordinated Beamforming, C-BF, scheme. The wireless AP (110a) comprises a processing circuitry (111) configured to generate a C-BF Null Data PPDU Announcement, C-BF NDPA, frame, wherein the C-BF NDPA frame comprises a Multi-AP set identifier. Moreover, the wireless AP (110a) comprises a communication interface (113) configured to transmit the C-BF NDPA frame to one or more wireless stations (120a) associated with the wireless AP (110a) and/or to one or more further wireless stations (120b) associated with the at least one further wireless AP (110b) within the Multi-AP set.

    摘要: An access point, AP (110), configured to perform a sounding procedure with one or more associated non-AP stations (120) in a wireless local area network (100) is provided. The AP (110) comprises a processing circuitry (111) configured to generate a null data PPDU announcement, NDPA, frame, wherein the NDPA frame comprises for each of the one or more associated non-AP stations (120) a station info field. The station info field comprises a partial BW info subfield, including a feedback bitmap and an indication of a resolution and/or a range of the feedback bitmap with a 20 MHz or 40 MHz subchannel resolution for a Sounding NDP with a bandwidth of up to 320 MHz. The AP (110) further comprises a communication interface (113) configured to transmit the NDPA frame to the one or more associated non-AP stations (120). Moreover, a corresponding non-AP station (120) is disclosed.
