  • Publication number: 20230199647
    Abstract: New reverse direction (RD) protocols for EHT devices during reserved target wait time (R-TWT) service periods (SPs). In this protocol the R-TWT scheduling AP does not have to trigger the RD initiator when it performs as the RD responder, and can trigger TB PPDU(s). In addition, the RD initiator is enabled to inform the RD initiator to inform its non-AP peer STA about the R-TWT information in the transmitted RD PPDU. The RD initiator is enabled to send a new MU RD PPDU to both the R-TWT scheduling AP and the non-AP peer STA, which allows the AP to quickly takeover scheduling if the non-AP peer STA is a non-RTWT member and has limited access the in current ongoing R-TWT SP.

  • Publication number: 20230199844
    Abstract: A wireless IEEE 802.11 communication protocol under CSMA/CA for enhanced full duplex (FD) station (STA) operations. PPDU preambles are configured to incorporate STA identification and corresponding resource unit (RU) or multiple resource unit (MRU) information. An FD AP indicates STA identification and corresponding RU/MRU index of a transmission destination in the FD preamble of a downlink (DL) PPDU; while a FD non-AP STA indicates its own STA identification and corresponding RU/MRU index in the FD preamble of a uplink (UL) PPDU. The disclosed technology mitigates many issues in regard to fake collisions, partial RU fake collisions, and real collisions, toward improving communications and efficiency and reducing latencies.

  • Publication number: 20230199847
    Abstract: Enhanced R-TWT scheduling is performed in which the R-TWT scheduling AP can perform scheduling quickly to react quickly to changes in the network environment and optimize R-TWT scheduling for efficiency and stability. The R-TWT scheduling AP transmits R-TWT trigger frames and is able to collect information from R-TWT scheduled STAs which may affect R-TWT scheduling. The scheduling can take into account that some member STAs may be dozing (asleep) for several beacon intervals and do not wake up for the beacon, then the R-TWT scheduling AP initiates the update of parameters when needed to check on those STAs to determine if any updates are needed. The R-TWT trigger frame can allocate resource units (RU) for R-TWT scheduled STAs to communicate back to the R-TWT scheduling AP.

  • Publication number: 20230199846
    Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus, method or protocol for wireless STAs using CSMA/CA on a wireless local area network (WLAN). A receiver STA receives MSDUs or A-MSDUs which include an expiration time, from a transmitter STA. The receiver STA stores the MSDUs or A-MSDUs with expiration time in its receive reordering buffer of the corresponding high-throughput (HT)-immediate block acknowledgement (Ack) agreement. The receiver STA passes the MSDU or A-MSDU to a next MAC process before an expiration time of the MSDU or A-MSDU. Thus, the percentage of latency sensitive traffic packets being communicated prior to expiration is increased.

  • Publication number: 20230199845
    Abstract: A wireless communication protocol which operates with multi-link devices (MLDs) having simultaneous transmit and receive (STR) link pairs to allow transmitting a long MU PPDU by an originator on a first link, which is acknowledged (Ack) by a recipient on a second link. The Ack on the second link may be on a single resource unit (RU) which may be shared by multiple stations. The Ack may be received during the MP PPDU on the first link, making it a quick Ack. In many cases this allows the originator to perform a retransmission within the same PPDU, thus especially benefitting real-time traffic which is latency sensitive.

  • Publication number: 20230156687
    Abstract: A non-AP STA, which is a scheduled STA having membership in an R-TWT scheduled STA, having an enqueued urgent burst of RTA traffic for the AP during an ongoing R-TWT SP of which it does not have R-TWT membership, is enabled to initiate R-TWT negotiation with the scheduling AP inside the ongoing R-TWT SP to either request a temporary or a long-term membership of the current ongoing R-TWT SP or request to setup a new temporary or long-term R-TWT SP after the current SP, but before the SP it originally had membership in, or to contend for an RA-RU in the current R-TWT SP if UORA feature is enabled. Thus, a non-R-TWT member STA is granted access for its burst traffic transmissions.

    Abstract: A method for maintaining equipment by remote operation and assistance, applied in an electronic device, obtains on-site information in response to a failure notification, and queries maintenance guidance information according to the on-site information. When the maintenance guidance information exists, the electronic device displays or plays the maintenance guidance information by Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, collects user operation data of a maintenance operation in real time, compares the user operation data with the maintenance guidance information, and prompts a user to correct a maintenance operation when a comparison indicates that a current repair or maintenance operation is erroneous. When the maintenance guidance information does not exist, the electronic device establishes a connection with a remote expert terminal by the AR glasses, and obtains real-time guidance from the remote expert terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230139168
    Abstract: A wireless protocol CSMA/CA and scheduling SPs of a R-TWT for RTA frame exchange. In addition to link level scheduling, R-TWTs can be scheduled from an MLD level. An R-TWT scheduling MLD is configured to schedule a Multi-Link (ML) R-TWT with SP scheduled on multiple links. These ML R-TWTs can be one or more SL R-TWTs, and a ML R-TWT can be an independent R-TWT from the SL R-TWT. The R-TWT scheduling MLD can: (a) assign a unique ML level R-TWT ID to identify a ML R-TWT, and if a ML R-TWT consists of SL R-TWTs each SL R-TWT is assigned to a unique link level R-TWT ID to identify it on its link; and (b) complete ML R-TWT signaling on one link for the ML R-TWT management on multiple links.

  • Publication number: 20230122711
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for supporting simultaneous MultiUser (MU) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) operations utilizing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) with Uplink OFDMA Random Access (UORA). Access Points (APs) trigger and obtain short PPDUs from the stations to learn spatial filtering patterns that are utilized in adjusting antenna phase differences to obtain minimum/maximum energy from this BSR. The APs determine favored and unfavored directions of communication, which are conveyed to non-AP UORA stations as channel estimation signals. The UORA stations base broadcasting on strengths of channel estimation signals to determine eligible UORA resource units. The UORA procedure to secondary APs allows a primary AP to trigger a UL-MU MIMO transmission with the number of spatial streams exceeding the number of antennas at the primary AP.

  • Publication number: 20230081745
    Abstract: A wireless local area network (WLAN) having stations (STAs) using Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) in which at least some stations support Full Duplex (FD) transmission. Mechanisms are described in which a STA can send a preemption request to a station performing ongoing transmissions. The preempted STA detects a preemption request of this preempting STA. The preempted STA interrupts its ongoing transmission; if it has determined to accept the preemption request. Thus, the preempting STA preempts the transmission of the preempted STA, to send a preemptive transmission, after receiving notification that the preempted STA has interrupted its ongoing transmission.
