Canon. has filed a patent for a communication method in a wireless network that prioritizes Low Latency Reliable Service (LLRS) traffic over non-LLRS traffic. The method involves an access point transmitting a management frame to refuse association or disassociate a station from a BSS, indicating the availability of another BSS.

Wireless network communication method with llrs prioritization
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240040621A1) discloses a communication method in a wireless network involving an access point (AP) transmitting an association-related management frame to a non-AP station, either refusing association with a Basic Service Set (BSS) managed by the AP or disassociating the station from the BSS. This frame includes a code indicating the availability of another BSS managed by the AP. The method further involves the AP determining the station's capabilities and restricting access based on low latency reliable service (LLRS) compatibility.
Additionally, the patent application describes a communication method for non-AP stations receiving association-related management frames from the AP, indicating refusal or disassociation from a BSS and the availability of another BSS. The method includes negotiating transmission opportunities with other non-AP stations based on Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters, including a TXOP limit parameter defining the maximum duration of a transmission opportunity within the BSS. The non-AP station can perform direct link (DiL) transmissions with other stations based on these negotiations. The patent also covers wireless communication devices and computer-readable mediums storing programs for executing the disclosed methods, emphasizing the practical application of the described communication techniques in wireless networks.
