Publication number: 20240089791Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a wireless device may buffer uplink communications. However, such approaches may be improved. An access point (AP) may receive, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link. The AP may monitor a buffer of the AP to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow. The AP may modify, based on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Xiaolong Huang, Srinivas Katar, Sandip Homchaudhuri, Guido Robert Frederiks, Bhaskara Peela, James Simon Cho, Patrick Poon-Cheuk Chan

Publication number: 20240088693Abstract: The media playback system comprises a first playback device with an energy storage having a maximum storage capacity. The media playback system sets a target charge level for the first energy storage to a first maximum charge threshold, wherein the first charge threshold is less than the maximum storage capacity (e.g., 20% of the maximum storage capacity). In response to identifying an event associated with a user, the media playback system adjusts the target charge level for the first energy storage to a second maximum charge threshold, wherein the second charge threshold is based on a duration of the first event. Subsequently, the media playback system receives power from a first power source to charge the first energy storage to the second maximum charge threshold. After the first event ends, the media playback system adjusts the target charge level for the first energy storage to the first maximum charge threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joern Riemer, James Nesfield, Sean Simon, Robert Tice

Publication number: 20230362822Abstract: Aspects relate to signaling the parameters to be used for a communication schedule such as a target wake time (TWT) schedule. For example, a first wireless communication device (e.g., an access point or a peer station) may determine (e.g., specify or negotiate) the parameters for at least one TWT schedule and transmit a broadcast management frame (e.g., a beacon) that includes these parameters. A second wireless communication device (e.g., station) that receives the broadcast management frame may, based on the received parameters for one TWT schedule or the received parameters for multiple TWT schedules, elect to transmit during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) that is defined to not cross at least one boundary of a period of time indicated by the parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Alfred ASTERJADHI, Sai Yiu Duncan HO, George CHERIAN, Abhishek Pramod PATIL, Alireza RAISSINIA, Padmanabhan Venkataraman KARTHIC, James Simon CHO
