Abstract: In a wireless communications network, access points and connected mobile devices transmit data via a radio frequency spectrum channel. When a device has packets for transmission it must check the channel is available before it can transmit the data. Furthermore there is a Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) parameter which limits the maximum amount of time that a device can transmit packets before it must relinquish the channel so that other devices are not locked out. Each device in the network is capable of updating its own TXOP parameters in order to respond to changes in the level of interference and contention in the surrounding area. In this way devices can transmit for longer periods of time when contention is low, while responding to increased network contention by shortening the TXOP to ensure fair access for all other devices in the network.

Abstract: The present technology pertains to unilaterally interleaving individual data packets of long bursts of multi-packet messages in various sequence patterns to be sent to one or more receivers over a network. Before determining a pattern, the sending device attempts to reduce the transmission length of the long bursts of the data packets into multiple chunks. Subsequently, the sending device generates a sequence pattern of the individual data packets and consecutively transmits these packets to their respective receivers. The determined sequence pattern may be based upon outbound limits at the sender, inbound limits at the one or more receivers, and various transmission priorities. Moreover, the sender may limit the data flow of any message transmission. The present technology does not require feedback from the network's components or from the network itself to micro flow control the individual data packets.
