According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for managing a group of Wi-Fi-enabled wearable or handheld wireless devices using a shared address. Some aspects more specifically relate to a negotiation of a shared address that corresponds to a group of Wi-Fi-enabled wearable or handheld devices and use of the shared address during a connection setup procedure for the group. In some implementations, by performing the connection setup procedure using the shared address, one wearable or handheld device may perform the connection setup procedure on behalf of the group. Wearable or handheld devices of the group also may exchange packets to indicate, with respect to the shared address, respective link identifiers (IDs) uniquely corresponding to each respective wearable or handheld device of the group, which the wearable or handheld devices of the group may use to differentiate traffic intended for different wearable or handheld devices of the group."
The patent application was internationally filed on Apr. 30, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/027000.
