  • Patent number: 11963216
    Abstract: A method can be used for channel access in an industrial wireless network. A network controller allocates time/frequency resource units in a set of guaranteed timeslots to packet transceivers in the industrial wireless network. The guaranteed timeslots are timewise divided into slots and frequency wise divided into channels, where one slot-channel pair defines one time/frequency resource unit. The network controller provides to the packet transceivers information about the time/frequency resource units allocated to the packet transceivers. The packet transceivers map packets of their own traffic flows to their allocated time/frequency resource units in each set of guaranteed timeslots. The packets for each packet transceiver are mapped according to priority-based scheduling of its own traffic flows and independently of any mapping of packets of other packet transceivers in the industrial wireless network.

  • Patent number: 11895712
    Abstract: A wireless communication circuit for operating over a wireless local area network (WLAN) supporting carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) in which real time application (RTA) traffic and non-RTA traffic coexist. Channel time is scheduled for transmitting real-time application (RTA) traffic based on expected RTA packet arrival time, with the schedule being shared with neighboring stations. Schedule time is adjusted based on schedules of neighboring stations to prevent channel contention collisions of multiple RTA traffics contending for the channel. Various mechanisms are described for supporting RTA transmissions while reducing channel access latency and contention collision.
