Intra basic service set signaling for multiple access points
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to intra-basic service set (BSS) signaling for multiple access points (APs). A device may determine one or more access points (APs), wherein the one or more APs are in a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs) identified as intra-BSS. The device may include, in a first frame, a high-efficiency operation element comprising a bit associated with an indicator of the set of multiple BSSs. The device may include, in a second frame, an association identification (AID) value, wherein the AID value is associated with the device. The device may cause to send the first frame a first station device of one or more station devices. The device may cause to send the second frame to a second station device of the one or more station devices.
1. A transmitted BSSID device of a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs), the transmitted BSSID device comprising processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
determine one or more access points (APs) are in the set of multiple BSSs, wherein the set of the multiple BSSs is a co-hosted multiple basic service set identification (BSSID) set;
generate a frame comprising one or more fields, wherein other APs in the set of multiple BSSs are not responsible for sending the frame;
designate the transmitted BSSID device to be the only AP responsible for sending the beacon frame on behalf of the other APs in the set of multiple BSSs;
include a high-efficiency operation element in the frame, wherein the high-efficiency operation element comprises a bit associated with a number of BSSIDs in the set of multiple BSSs;
cause to send the frame a first station device of one or more station devices.
2. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the size of the set of multiple BSSs has a maximum number of 2 n, wherein n is a positive integer.
3. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the frame is a probe response frame or a beacon frame.
4. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the frame is classified as an intra-BSS frame.
5. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 4 , further comprising an antenna coupled to the transceiver to cause to send the frame.
6. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the frame has an address value corresponding to a BSS to which the first station device is associated with.
7. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more APs in the set of multiple BSSs have a same BSS color that identifies the BSS.
8. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to send a trigger frame to a second device in a different BSS in the multiple BSSID set, wherein the trigger frame comprises a transmitting station address (TA) equal to a transmitted BSSID of the transmitted BSSID device.
9. The transmitted BSSID device of claim 1 , further comprising a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors in a transmitted BSSID device of a set of multiple basic service sets (BSSs) result in performing operations comprising:
determining one or more access points (APs) are in the set of multiple BSSs, wherein the set of the multiple BSSs is a co-hosted multiple basic service set identification (BSSID) set;
generating a frame comprising one or more fields, wherein other APs in the set of multiple BSSs are not responsible for sending the frame;
designating the transmitted BSSID device to be the only AP responsible for sending the beacon frame on behalf of the other APs in the set of multiple BSSs;
including a high-efficiency operation element in the frame, wherein the high-efficiency operation element comprises a bit associated with a number of BSSIDs in the set of multiple BSSs;
causing to send the frame a first station device of one or more station devices.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the size of the set of multiple BSSs has a maximum number of 2 n, wherein n is a positive integer.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the frame is a probe response frame or a beacon frame.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the frame is classified as an intra-BSS frame.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the frame has an address value corresponding to a BSS to which the first station device is associated with.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the one or more APs in the set of multiple BSSs have a same BSS color that identifies the BSS.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise sending a trigger frame to a second device in a different BSS in the multiple BSSID set, wherein the trigger frame comprises a transmitting station address (TA) equal to a transmitted BSSID of the transmitted BSSID device.
17. A method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, one or more access points (APs) are in the set of multiple BSSs, wherein the set of the multiple BSSs is a co-hosted multiple basic service set identification (BSSID) set;
generating a frame comprising one or more fields, wherein other APs in the set of multiple BSSs are not responsible for sending the frame;
designating the transmitted BSSID device to be the only AP responsible for sending the beacon frame on behalf of the other APs in the set of multiple BSSs;
including a high-efficiency operation element in the frame, wherein the high-efficiency operation element comprises a bit associated with a number of BSSIDs in the set of multiple BSSs;
causing to send the frame a first station device of one or more station devices.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the size of the set of multiple BSSs has a maximum number of 2 n , wherein n is a positive integer.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the frame is a probe response frame or a beacon frame.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the frame is classified as an intra-BSS frame.
