SYNCHRONOUS CHANNEL ACCESS CONTROL OF A WIRELESS SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18488311 titled 'SYNCHRONOUS CHANNEL ACCESS CONTROL OF A WIRELESS SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a system for controlling wireless communication in a synchronized manner. The system utilizes a Time Wake Target (TWT) session to enable communication between devices during specific TWT service periods. By coordinating uplink and downlink communications within these service periods, devices can enter a low power mode outside of the service periods. The TWT session and service periods can be configured and managed by either the device or a second device to ensure that the communication associated with an Extended Reality (XR) experience, such as pose data frames or video data frames, meets latency requirements. The use of TWT service periods also allows other devices to utilize the wireless medium outside of these periods.

• The patent application describes a system for synchronous channel access control in a wireless system.
• Devices can use a TWT session to communicate during specific TWT service periods.
• Uplink and downlink communications are coordinated within the service periods.
• Devices can enter a low power mode outside of the TWT service periods.
• The TWT session and service periods can be configured and managed by the device or a second device.
• The system ensures that communication for XR experiences meets latency requirements.
• Other devices can use the wireless medium outside of the TWT service periods.

Potential Applications:

• Wireless communication systems for Extended Reality (XR) experiences.
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require synchronized communication.
• Wireless systems in industrial or manufacturing environments.

Problems Solved:

• Ensuring synchronized communication between devices in a wireless system.
• Managing power consumption by allowing devices to enter low power mode outside of communication periods.
• Meeting latency requirements for XR experiences.

Benefits:

• Improved efficiency and reliability of wireless communication.
• Reduced power consumption for devices.
• Enhanced user experience in XR applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for synchronous channel access control of a wireless system. In some aspects, a device may use a TWT session to communicate with a second device during one or more TWT service periods. Uplink and downlink communications may be coordinated to both be in a TWT service period to allow a device to enter a low power mode outside of the TWT service period. The TWT session, including the service periods, may be configured and managed by the device or the second device to ensure the communications associated with an XR experience between the devices (such as pose data frames or tracking frames provided as uplink data and video data frames provided as downlink data) meet latency requirements or other requirements for the XR experience. Use of TWT service periods allows other devices to use the wireless medium outside of the TWT service periods.
