The application for the patent was published on Nov. 7, under issue no. 45/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for signaling mechanisms for multi-hop channel sounding for relay operation. Some aspects more specifically relate to frame addressing and transmission opportunity (TXOP) or service period (SP) sharing to facilitate a multi-hop channel sounding within a single TXOP or SP. An originating device may transmit a first frame indicating identifying information corresponding to multiple other wireless communication devices to initiate a multi-hop channel sounding involving the multiple other wireless communication devices. For example, the originating device may include, in the first frame, identifying information corresponding to a satellite access point (AP) and identifying information corresponding to an end device with which the originating device may communicate via the satellite AP. In accordance with the multi-hop channel sounding, the originating device may receive, collectively via one or more frames, channel information associated with each hop between the originating device and the end device."
The patent application was internationally filed on Apr. 04, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/023111.
