  • Publication number: 20240090010
    Abstract: Techniques related to wireless communication are disclosed. Some aspects of the disclosure relate to devices and methods for improving a quality of service (QoS) by reporting near-real-time feedback relating to a delay experienced by packets queued for transmission, and dynamically scheduling a wireless station to transmit and meet its QoS. A wireless station (STA) obtains one or more packets for transmission, the packets being associated with a delay condition. The STA outputs for transmission a delay status report that includes information relating to the delay condition associated with the one or more packets. In response, the STA obtains a resource allocation for transmission of the one or more packets according to the information relating to the delay condition. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11832282
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting a packet duration for triggered uplink (UL) transmissions to an access point (AP) from one or more stations (STAs). In one aspect, the AP may estimate an amount of data that a STA has queued for UL transmission and select the packet duration based on the estimated amount of queued UL data. The AP may transmit a trigger frame that solicits UL data from the STA and indicates the selected packet duration. In response, the AP may receive an UL packet from the STA and determine an amount of UL data queued in the STA based on the UL packet. In some implementations, the AP may selectively adjust the packet duration for UL transmissions based on the UL packet, the determined amount of UL data queued in the STA, or both.

  • 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: 20190306790
    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure provide for Target Wake Time (TWT) slot scheduling in a communication network. The various aspects includes determining a number of stations in the basic service set (BSS) of an access point (AP) exceeding a minimum number of stations, determining whether to establish TWT slot scheduling for at least one or more of the stations based on one or more operational condition of the communication network, and establishing a TWT slot scheduling of the one or more of the stations if the one or more operational condition of the communication network, individually or collectively, satisfy a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170373789
    Abstract: A device includes a memory, a processor, and a transceiver. The memory is configured to store capability data corresponding to a set of stations. The processor is configured to select, based at least in part on the capability data, one of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) mode or an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) mode for wireless communication with a subset of the set of stations. The transceiver is configured to wirelessly communicate with the subset in the selected one of the MU-MIMO mode or the OFDMA mode.

  • Publication number: 20170118631
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a pre-fetching architecture and scheduler for multi-station APs. An example method generally includes fetching, from a plurality of host buffers, descriptive information for a set of packets based, at least in part, on an amount of descriptive information already cached for transmission to one or more target devices; using the fetched descriptive information to obtain the set of packets; and transmitting the set of packets to the one or more target devices.
