Samsung patents Wi-Fi method to connect to two routers at once

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

This filing describes a way for a device to connect to two different Wi-Fi access points simultaneously. It uses a scheduling system called Target Wake Time to ensure the device talks to each router at different times, preventing the signals from overlapping.

Why it mattersThis could improve data stability for users who need a strong connection from multiple sources, though it is a technical update to existing Wi-Fi standards.

In the filing’s own words

An example electronic device may include a processor and a memory configured to store instructions. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to: determine a first Target Wake Time (TWT) schedule by performing TWT negotiation with a first access point (AP); determine a second TWT schedule by performing TWT negotiation with a second AP; and communicate with the second AP based on the second TWT schedule while communicating with the first AP based on the first TWT schedule.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: memory configured to store instructions, a processor configured to: determine a first target wake time (TWT) schedule based at least in part on performing TWT negotiation with a first external device; determine a second TWT schedule different from the first TWT schedule based at least in part on performing TWT negotiation with a second external device such that a first service period according to the first TWT schedule does not overlap a second service period corresponding to the second TWT schedule; and communicate in a multi-connected state with the second external device based at least in part on the second TWT schedule and with the first external device based on the first TWT schedule.
