METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING MULTICAST TRAFFIC WITH MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION LINES Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H04W4/06 H04W72/04 

FIELD: communications.

SUBSTANCE: transmission of multicast traffic with multiple communication lines. For this purpose, the multicast traffic indication information sent by the first MLD-AP access point (AP) indicates whether one MLD-AP AP has multicast traffic. The AP is the first AP or another AP of the MLD-AP, and the first STA of the MLD-STA can find out whether the first AP or another AP has multicast traffic. The multicast traffic indication information indicates whether each AP in several or all MLD-APs has multicast traffic, so that the first STA can know whether several APs have multicast traffic. Thus, each MLD-STA does not need to listen to see if each AP has multicast traffic. The invention can be applied to a wireless LAN system that supports the next generation IEEE 802.11ax EHT Wi-Fi protocol, such as 802.11 series protocols, such as 802.11be.

EFFECT: reduced power consumption of a station (STA) device with multiple communication lines.
