  • Publication number: 20240088988
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to device, method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium of MPDU forwarding in a VBSS based mesh network. The method comprises receiving, at a first device, a first data unit from a second device in a first TXOP allocated by the second device for data transmission between the first device and the second device, the first data unit having a header comprising an identifier of the first device; de-aggregating the first data unit into a plurality of sub-data units; and processing the plurality of sub-data units based on respective address information associated with the plurality of sub-data units. In this way, the converting the MAC header of MPDUs between backhaul and fronthaul and decryption and encryption of the data unit can be avoided, which improves the efficiency of data forwarding. Meanwhile, the interference between backhaul and fronthaul working on the same channel can be eliminated and the TP of whole link can be increased.

  • Patent number: 11924882
    Abstract: A terminal device selects are source indicator to be used for non-scheduled access and transmits it to an access device of the network in the non-scheduled access. If it determines based on a response to the non-scheduled access, that it has selected the same resource indicator as another terminal device, it keeps the resource indicator but selects different physical random access channel occasions by setting a time offset for a retransmission with the selected resource indicator. An initial waiting time may be determined by the access device (e.g. based on a traffic amount on the access channel) and transmitted to the terminal device for setting the time offset. Also, a layer (2) error caused by a random access channel resource collision of terminal devices may be determined at the access device and a feedback indicating a non-acknowledgement for layer (2) may be transmitted to colliding terminal devices.
