METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRIORITIZATION HANDLING FOR EPCS OPERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356136 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRIORITIZATION HANDLING FOR EPCS OPERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for prioritization handling in emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) operations. It specifically focuses on wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) device, such as a station (STA).

  • The STA forms a link with an AP and receives information associated with EPCS from the AP.
  • The STA determines whether both the STA and the AP support EPCS operations.
  • If both the STA and the AP support EPCS operations, the STA further determines whether the AP supports prioritization for EPCS devices.
  • If the AP does not support prioritization for EPCS devices, the STA performs the EPCS operation.
  • If the AP supports prioritization for EPCS devices, the STA performs a prioritized EPCS operation, which involves prioritization among EPCS devices.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) in various industries and sectors, including public safety, healthcare, transportation, and disaster management.
  • Wireless communication systems used in emergency situations, where prioritization of communication services is crucial.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prioritization handling in emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) operations, ensuring efficient and effective communication during emergencies.
  • Addressing the need for prioritization among EPCS devices when the access point (AP) supports such functionality.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved communication during emergencies by prioritizing EPCS devices, ensuring critical information is transmitted without delay.
  • Enhanced coordination and response in emergency situations, leading to better emergency preparedness and management.
  • Efficient utilization of wireless communication resources by prioritizing EPCS devices, optimizing network performance during emergencies.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for prioritization handling for emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) operation are disclosed. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) device that comprises a station (STA) includes: forming a link with an AP; receiving information associated with emergency preparedness communication services (EPCS) from the AP; determining whether the STA and the AP support an EPCS operation; based on determining that the STA and the AP support the EPCS operation; determining whether the AP supports prioritization for EPCS devices; when the AP does not support prioritization for EPCS devices, performing the EPCS operation; and when the AP supports prioritization for EPCS devices, performing a prioritized EPCS operation, wherein the prioritized EPCS operation comprises prioritization among EPCS devices.
