OPPORTUNISTIC SOUNDING FOR LOW LATENCY APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943892 titled 'OPPORTUNISTIC SOUNDING FOR LOW LATENCY APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications with opportunistic sounding for low latency applications. An access point (AP) communicates with one or more stations (STAs) using multiple periodic service periods for wireless communication. The AP transmits data messages during service periods based on beamforming estimates, and may send sounding signals to optimize communication for future service periods.

Original Abstract Submitted
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.
