LOW-LOSS SCALABLE THROUGHPUT FOR WI-FI - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401138 titled 'LOW-LOSS SCALABLE THROUGHPUT FOR WI-FI
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for enhanced access category (AC) traffic management, utilizing dual queuing for prioritization and traffic flow control.
- The device receives frames with headers via a network interface.
- It analyzes the header of the first frame to determine prioritization based on predefined criteria.
- The device assigns and routes the frame to appropriate Access Categories (AC) and Traffic Identifications (TID) based on prioritization.
- Dual queuing is established for each AC, with deep and shallow buffer queues.
- Prioritized, low latency frames are directed to the shallow buffer queue.
- Traffic flow is controlled via the deep or shallow buffer queue based on the assigned TID for each AC.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Network switches
- Wireless access points
- Quality of Service (QoS) systems

Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced access category (AC) traffic management. A device may receive one or more frames via a network interface, wherein each of the one or more frames comprises a header. The device may analyze the header of a first frame of the one or more frames to determine prioritization based on predefined criteria. The device may assign and route the first frame to appropriate Access Categories (AC) and Traffic Identifications (TID) based on the prioritization. The device may utilize established dual queuing for each AC, comprising a deep buffer queue and a shallow buffer queue. The device may direct prioritized, low latency frames to the shallow buffer queue. The device may control traffic flow via the deep buffer queue or the shallow buffer queue based on the assigned TID for each AC.
