Multi-band link aggregation setup frames
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to link aggregation between devices. A device may encode a multi-band element for transmission using a first interface of one or more interfaces to a first device. The device may cause to send a first link aggregation setup request to the first device including at least in part the multi-band element. The device may identify a first link aggregation setup response from the first device. The device may cause to establish a multi-band link aggregation session with the first device using the first interface.
1. A device, the device comprising memory and processing circuitry configured to:
encode a multi-band element for transmission using a first interface of one or more interfaces to a first device;
cause to send a first link aggregation setup request to the first device including at least in part the multi-band element;
identify a first link aggregation setup response from the first device; and
cause to establish a multi-band link aggregation session with the first device using the first interface and a second interface of the one or more interfaces.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first interface and the second interface are associated with at least one of a frequency band of 800 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 45 GHz, or 60 GHz.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first link aggregation setup response includes one or more parameters associated with the multi-band link aggregation session.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the multi-band element includes multi-band link aggregation capabilities of the device.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the multi-band element is an extension of a fast session transfer (FST) frame.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the memory and the processing circuitry are further configured to determine a first operating band or a first operating channel associated with the first device.
7. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.
8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:
identifying a first link aggregation setup request from a first device including at least in part a multi-band element;
identifying a multi-band element included in the first link aggregation setup request;
causing to send a first link aggregation setup response using a first interface of one or more interfaces based at least in part on the multi-band element; and
establishing a multi-band link aggregation session with the first device using the first interface and a second interface of the one or more interfaces.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the first link aggregation setup response includes one or more parameters associated with a multi-band link aggregation session with the first device.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the first interface is associated with at least one of a frequency band of 800 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 45 GHz, or 60 GHz.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the one or more parameters include at least in part a multi-band link aggregation capability.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise determining an operating band or an operating channel associated with the first interface.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the multi-band element is an extension of a fast session transfer (FST) frame.
15. A method comprising:
encoding a multi-band element for transmission using a first interface of one or more interfaces to a first device;
causing to send a first link aggregation setup request to the first device including at least in part the multi-band element;
identifying a first link aggregation setup response from the first device; and
causing to establish a multi-band link aggregation session with the first device using the first interface and a second interface of the one or more interfaces.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first interface and the second interface are associated with at least one of a frequency band of 800 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 45 GHz, or 60 GHz.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first link aggregation setup response includes one or more parameters associated with the multi-band link aggregation session.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the one or more parameters include at least in part a multi-band link aggregation capability.
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the multi-band element is an extension of a fast session transfer (FST) frame.
20. The method of claim 15 further comprising:
determining a first operating band or a first operating channel associated with the first device.
