  • Publication number: 20240146793
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for low-latency parameter updates. In some aspects, a wireless communication device, such as a handset or an access point (AP), may transmit, to one or more wireless audio devices, an indication of a set of updated parameters associated with an extended personal area network (XPAN) of the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may embed the indication of the set of updated parameters via a real-time protocol (RTP) header or in a padding section of a payload data of an audio data packet. A wireless audio device may extract the set of updated parameters from the audio data packet and may transmit an acknowledgement (ACK) to the wireless communication device. As a result of receiving an ACK from the wireless audio device(s), the wireless communication device may communicate with the wireless audio device(s) in accordance with the updated parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240088951
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications for opportunistic sounding for low latency applications are described. An access point (AP) may communicate with one or more stations (STAs), and may communicate a control message indicating more than one periodic service periods for wireless communication with the one or more STAs. The AP may transmit, via a transmit beam, a data message during a first service period of the more than one periodic service periods based on a first compressed beamforming estimate (CBF) for the transmit beam being satisfactory for the first service period and transmit one or more sounding signals during the first service period after transmitting the data message based on the first CBF being suboptimal for a second service period that occurs after the first service period. The STA(s) may transmit, and the AP may receive, an indication of a second CBF based on the one or more sounding signals.

  • Publication number: 20230337059
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively enabling multi-user (MU) communications are disclosed. In some implementations, an access point (AP) obtains packets associated with a traffic flow, and obtains at least one of service-level agreement (SLA) parameters associated with the traffic flow, attributes of the traffic flow, or network parameters associated with a basic service set (BSS) that includes the AP. The AP provides an indication of whether the traffic flow is suitable for transmission as a single-user (SU) multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) (SU-MIMO) communication, as an MU-MIMO communication, as an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) communication, or as a partial bandwidth (BW) MU-MIMO communication to a WLAN subsystem of the AP, the indication being based on one or more of the SLA parameters, the traffic flow attributes, or the network parameters. The AP initiates transmission of the one or more packets based on the indication.

  • Publication number: 20230337044
    Abstract: An AP obtains service-level agreement (SLA) parameters indicating at least a delay bound for each of a plurality of traffic flows. The AP receives first packets of a first traffic flow, and delays their transmission for a delay period based on the data carried in the first packets being less than a first threshold. During the delay period, the AP receives second packets of the first traffic flow while also receiving packets of a second traffic flow, groups the second traffic flow with the first traffic flow for an MU-MIMO transmission based on the data carried in the first and second packets of the first traffic flow being greater than the first threshold and the data carried in the packets of the second traffic flow being greater than a second threshold, and transmits the first and second packets traffic flows as an MU-MIMO communication.

  • Publication number: 20230337217
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for provisioning resources for wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to provisioning such resources based on a mapping of wireless communication devices to a number of time sectors that occur periodically and do not overlap other time sectors. In some aspects, each wireless stations (STAs) in a basic service set (BSS) may be mapped to a respective time sector based on attributes associated with the BSS so that communications between a STA and its associated access point (AP) can only occur within the respective time sector(s) to which the STA is mapped. In some other aspects, each AP in a multi-AP environment may be mapped to a respective time sector based on attributes associated with the multi-AP environment so that communications between an AP and its associated STAs can only occur within the respective time sector(s) to which the AP is mapped.

  • Patent number: 11535213
    Abstract: A method for learning braking step threshold values of a sustained-action brake includes detecting a braking requirement setpoint, controlling the sustained-action brake with the braking requirement setpoint to generate a braking effect variable of the sustained-action brake, and detecting a sustained-action brake actual braking effect variable and a maximum sustained-action brake braking effect. The method additionally includes forming a braking effect variable coefficient that characterizes a ratio of the sustained-action brake actual braking effect variable and the maximum sustained-action brake braking effect variable that results from control of the sustained-action brake with the braking requirement setpoint, and assigning the braking effect variable coefficient to a braking step of the sustained-action brake such that each braking step is assigned only one braking effect variable.

  • Patent number: 11381680
    Abstract: Techniques are described that update a caller on call progress status using various effects based on a likelihood that the call will connect with the callee, and/or a likelihood that the caller will prematurely terminate the call. In some examples, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will connect based on conditions associated with the callee. In some cases, a machine-learned model may determine a likelihood that a call will be prematurely terminated by the caller based on conditions associated with the caller. Animations, haptic outputs, sounds, and/or other content may be used to indicate likelihood of the call connecting to the caller.
