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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015768 titled 'PREEMPTION SCHEDULING FOR RAW DETERMINISTIC TRAFFIC

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for managing communications between access points (APs) and stations (STAs). In one embodiment, an AP broadcasts a trigger message to multiple STAs. The trigger message includes a matrix that defines a set of resource units (RUs) assigned to the STAs for transmitting or receiving data, as well as a fragment flag. The presence of the fragment flag in the scheduling matrix indicates that the data transmission to which it is appended is a partial transmission that will be completed in a subsequent transmission opportunity.

• The patent describes a method for managing communications between APs and STAs.
• The AP broadcasts a trigger message to multiple STAs.
• The trigger message includes a matrix defining a set of RUs assigned to the STAs for data transmission.
• The trigger message also includes a fragment flag to indicate partial transmissions.
• The presence of the fragment flag in the scheduling matrix informs the AP about partial transmissions.

Potential Applications:

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

Problems Solved:

• Efficient management of communications between APs and STAs
• Optimization of data transmission in wireless networks
• Handling partial transmissions in a coordinated manner

Benefits:

• Improved network performance and efficiency
• Enhanced data transmission reliability
• Better utilization of available resources
• Reduced latency and improved user experience

Original Abstract Submitted

techniques for managing communications between access points (aps) and stations (stas) are described herein. in one embodiment, an ap broadcasts a trigger message to a plurality of stas, the trigger message including a matrix defining a plurality of resource units (rus) that the plurality of stas are assigned to transmit or receive data, and a fragment flag. the presence of the fragment flag, within the scheduling matrix, informs the ap that the data transmission that the fragment flag is appended to is a partial transmission that will be completed in a subsequent transmission opportunity.
