ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING ACCESS TO WIRELESS MEDIA USING TARGET WAKE TIME (TWT) DEFINED IN IEEE 802.11 STANDARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18490674 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING ACCESS TO WIRELESS MEDIA USING TARGET WAKE TIME (TWT) DEFINED IN IEEE 802.11 STANDARD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that can receive a target wake time (TWT) element from an AP device, generate a data frame associated with the type of traffic indicated by the TWT element, and transmit the data frame during the TWT service period.

  • The device includes at least one wireless communication circuit located inside the housing.
  • The wireless communication circuit is configured to receive the TWT element from the AP device through a wireless medium.
  • The TWT element indicates a TWT service period and the type of traffic associated with the latency of the traffic.
  • Upon receiving the TWT element, the device generates a data frame associated with the type of traffic indicated by the TWT element.
  • The device then transmits the data frame to the AP device through the wireless medium during the TWT service period indicated by the TWT element.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved communication efficiency in wireless networks.
  • Enhanced quality of service for different types of traffic.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring timely transmission of data frames based on the type of traffic.
  • Optimizing network resources by scheduling transmissions during specific service periods.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Reduced latency for critical traffic types.
  • Increased overall network performance and reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided, which includes a housing, at least one wireless communication circuit located inside the housing and configured to: receive, from an AP device through a wireless medium, a target wake time (TWT) element indicating a TWT service period and a type of traffic that is associated with latency of the traffic; in response to receiving the TWT element, generate data frame associated with the type of traffic indicated by the TWT element; and transmit, to the AP device through the wireless medium, the data frame associated with the type of traffic during the TWT service period indicated by the TWT element.
