MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647125547 A) filed by Qualcomm Incorporated on October 21, 2026, for Signaling Framework For Unassociated Access Point Coordination.
Inventors include Patil, Abhishek Pramod; Kalamkar, Sanket Sanjay; Naik, Gaurang; Asterjadhi, Alfred; Cherian, George; Ho, Sai Yiu Duncan; Helwa, Sherief; and Chisci, Giovanni.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for a signaling framework for unassociated access point (AP) coordination. Some aspects more specifically relate to unassociated AP coordination with respect to transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing (TXS). In some examples, a first AP may obtain a TXOP via performing a contention resolution procedure and may transmit an indication of a portion of the TXOP to share as well as an indication of wireless medium coordination information to a second AP that is in an unassociated state with respect to the first AP. The first AP may receive one or more frames from the second AP based at least in part on the wireless medium coordination information. The second AP also may transmit one or more frames to one or more other APs, where the one or more frames may indicate a TXOP return indication according to the wireless medium coordination information.
