Abstract: A wireless communication circuit for operating over a wireless local area network (WLAN) in which real time application (RTA) traffic and non-RTA traffic coexist and are distinguished from one another. RTA queues are created to enqueue RTA packets while non-RTA packets are pushed into non-RTA queues. Management frames containing RTA session parameters and RTA queue setting information are exchanged between stations. Channel time is allocated to RTA queues for transmitting packets, during which non-RTA queues are not allowed to access the channel. Stations determine which RTA queues to enqueue an RTA packet into based on RTA queue classification information of its RTA session.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, multiple timing advances (TAs) may be configured for non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) with respective transmit receive points (TRPs). For example, a NCJT mode may have multiple TAs semi-statically configured for the UE to follow for each TRP. In some cases, a TA index corresponding to a TA for a TRP may be added as a field to a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource definition (e.g., SRS resource configuration). Additionally or alternatively, the TA index may be determined from an SRS index transmitted by the TRP, where the TA index corresponds to a TA for uplink information in a physical uplink shared channel. Additionally or alternatively, the TA index may be included as a field in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) definition to indicate a TA for a corresponding PUCCH that the UE transmits to the TRP.
