METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRIGGERED TXOP SHARING FOR PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION WITH TWT OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18061955 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRIGGERED TXOP SHARING FOR PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION WITH TWT OPERATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and devices for enabling peer-to-peer (P2P) communication in a wireless local area network during a specific time period called a target wake time (TWT) service period (SP).
- The wireless station (STA) device includes a transceiver and a processor.
- The transceiver receives a trigger frame from an access point (AP) during a TWT SP.
- The trigger frame contains an indication that it is for a triggered transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing mode, which allows P2P communication during the TWT SP.
- Upon receiving the trigger frame, the processor initiates a P2P session with another STA during the TWT SP.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various wireless local area network (WLAN) environments.
- It enables efficient P2P communication during specific time periods, improving overall network performance.
- It can be used in scenarios where direct communication between wireless devices is required, such as file sharing or real-time collaboration.
Problems Solved
- Prior to this innovation, P2P communication during TWT SPs was not possible in WLANs.
- The patent application solves the problem of enabling P2P communication during TWT SPs by introducing a triggered TXOP sharing mode.
- It allows for more flexible and efficient communication between wireless devices within a WLAN.
Benefits
- The technology improves the overall efficiency and performance of WLANs by enabling P2P communication during TWT SPs.
- It allows for direct communication between wireless devices without the need for routing through the access point.
- The triggered TXOP sharing mode optimizes network resources and reduces latency for P2P communication.
- It enhances the user experience by enabling seamless and uninterrupted P2P communication during specific time periods.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for enabling triggered transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication during a target wake time (TWT) service period (SP) in a wireless local area network. A wireless station (STA) device comprises a transceiver and a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive, from an access point (AP), a trigger frame during a TWT SP that corresponds to a trigger-enabled TWT schedule that is configured such that the trigger frame includes an indication that the trigger frame is for a triggered TXOP sharing (TXS) mode that allows P2P communication during the TWT SP. The processor is configured to, based on receipt of the trigger frame, begin a P2P session with a peer STA during the TWT SP.
