FLEXIBLE-SLOT SCHEDULING FOR RAW DETERMINISTIC TRAFFIC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015727 titled 'FLEXIBLE-SLOT SCHEDULING FOR RAW DETERMINISTIC TRAFFIC

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes techniques for managing communications between access points and stations (STAs). The access point broadcasts a trigger message to multiple STAs, which includes a matrix defining a set of resource units (RUs) that the STAs are assigned to transmit or receive data. The matrix enables time division multiplexing by assigning timeslots to the STAs, and frequency division multiplexing by assigning frequency tones to the STAs.

• The patent/application proposes a method for managing communications between access points and stations.
• The access point sends a trigger message to multiple stations, containing a matrix defining resource units.
• The matrix enables time division multiplexing by assigning timeslots to the stations.
• The matrix also enables frequency division multiplexing by assigning frequency tones to the stations.

Potential Applications:

• Wireless communication networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Mobile networks

Problems Solved:

• Efficient management of communications between access points and stations
• Optimizing resource allocation in wireless networks
• Mitigating interference in wireless communications

Benefits:

• Improved network performance and efficiency
• Enhanced capacity and throughput in wireless networks
• Reduced interference and improved signal quality
• Better utilization of available resources

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for managing communications between access points and stations (stas) are described herein. an access point broadcasts a trigger message to a plurality of stas, the trigger message includes a matrix defining a plurality of resource units (rus) that the plurality of stas are assigned to transmit or receive data. the matrix accomplishes time division multiplexing by assigning timeslots to a plurality of stas. the matrix accomplishes frequency division multiplexing by also assigning frequency tones to the plurality of stas.
