Publication number: 20240137931Abstract: A method for an access point to schedule obtaining frames from stations connected thereto is provided. Real-time applications provide frames and frame due dates to the stations. The frames and their due dates are stored in respective buffers of the stations. Each station identifies the earliest due date of all its buffered frames and provides the earliest due date to the access point. The access point orders the due dates and schedules the stations according to the order of the due dates. The access point then communicates with the stations according to the schedule and obtains the frames. A WLAN system implementing the method is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Osama ABOUL-MAGD, Jung Hoon SUH, Yan XIN, Kwok Shum AU

Patent number: 11949506Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a control signal for automatic wireless network version detection of a transmission. The control signal enables a receiver to detect the wireless network version detection of the transmission, so that the proper wireless network version is used for interpreting signaling information and decoding of the payload of the transmission. In some examples, the control signal is within a preamble of the transmission. The wireless network version can be an IEEE 802.11 version, such as proposed IEEE 802.11be. The control signal is compatible with legacy systems and can indicate the legacy signaling information by way of a Legacy Signal (SIG) (L-SIG) symbol. In some examples, the control signal can indicate the wireless network version by using an identifier symbol which is generated from at least part of, but is not identical to, the L-SIG symbol.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Yan Xin, Jung Hoon Suh, Osama Aboul-Magd

Publication number: 20240040642Abstract: According to a first aspect of the disclosure, methods are discussed in which a station (STA) sends a message to an access point, for example an associated access point, about a change in multi-AP coordination parameters. A STA, which may be a mobile STA, can be in a better position than the APs themselves, for detecting changes in conditions which can affect the effectiveness, or even the desirability of the multi-AP coordination. Accordingly the STA can send a message reporting detected conditions related to multi-AP coordination. In some embodiments, such a message can request for initializing multi-AP coordination, such a message can be in response to a triggering event detected by the STA. In response to such a triggering event, the STA can analyze the STA's service needs, and send the message about a change in multi-AP coordination parameters. A second aspect of the disclosure provides an AP-to-AP negotiation process for multi-AP coordination.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicants: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CANADA CO., LTD., THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIOInventors: Wudan HAN, Xianbin WANG, Osama ABOUL-MAGD, Yan XIN, Jung Hoon SUH, Kwok Shum AU
