  • Patent number: 11936473
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media that support station performance enhancement with multi-link operations. An example method may include determining at least one network metric related to at least one link between a station (STA) and access points (APs) and determining at least one connection parameter related to at least one application operating on the STA. The method may include selecting a mode of multi-link operations based at least in part on the network metric and the connection parameter, wherein the mode of multi-link operations comprises one or more of: a multi-link mode in which the STA operates over a first link and a second link at a same time or a single-link mode in which the STA operates over one of the first or second links and communicating with the one or more APs according to the selected mode.

  • Publication number: 20240049308
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for synchronous channel access control of a wireless system. In some aspects, a device may use a TWT session to communicate with a second device during one or more TWT service periods. Uplink and downlink communications may be coordinated to both be in a TWT service period to allow a device to enter a low power mode outside of the TWT service period. The TWT session, including the service periods, may be configured and managed by the device or the second device to ensure the communications associated with an XR experience between the devices (such as pose data frames or tracking frames provided as uplink data and video data frames provided as downlink data) meet latency requirements or other requirements for the XR experience. Use of TWT service periods allows other devices to use the wireless medium outside of the TWT service periods.

  • Publication number: 20230379979
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for asynchronous channel access control of a wireless system. In some aspects, a device may adjust the priority of one or more PPDUs and may perform other operations to ensure control of a wireless medium at certain times while still allowing for other devices to communicate on the wireless medium. For example, the device may adjust a backoff counter or one or more EDCA parameters to ensure obtaining control of the wireless medium to transmit a first PPDU of an application file. For one or more subsequent PPDUs of the application file, the device may again adjust a backoff counter or one or more EDCA parameters to allow other devices to obtain control of the wireless medium in certain scenarios (such as a second device to provide information back to the device or to otherwise transmit using the shared wireless medium).

  • Publication number: 20230259801
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a semantic-based causal event probability analysis method. The method may include: generating a cause event instance and corresponding effect event instances thereof according to user requirements and based on a cause event template and an effect event template; assigning each cause event or effect event instance to a parent node, wherein the event instance comprises a plurality of entities and a mutual relationship between the entities; and calculating a probability of a cause event instance or an effect event instance having a common parent node. A probability that a first cause event instance causes a first effect event instance equals: P R E 1 R C E 1 C = P C E 1 R R E 1 C ? P R E 1 R P C E 1 C P(CE1(R) |RE1(C)) represents a probability of the first cause event occurring when the first effect event occurs. P(RE1(R)) represents a probability of the first effect event occurring among all effect events.

  • Publication number: 20220303869
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may establish a first communication connection associated with a first subscription or associated with a first network slice, wherein the first communication connection is a default connection for the UE for data traffic. The UE may establish a second communication connection associated with a second subscription or associated with a second network slice. The UE may receive, from a device via a wireless local area network provided by the UE or via a wired connection, a data traffic packet associated with one or more parameters. The UE may route the data traffic packet to the second communication connection based at least in part on the one or more parameters. The UE may transmit the data traffic packet using the second communication connection. Numerous other aspects are described.
