COLLISION REDUCTION IN WIRELESS MEDIUM ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032019 titled 'COLLISION REDUCTION IN WIRELESS MEDIUM ACCESS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a process for reducing contentions and packet collisions in a multipoint communication environment that uses time slice scheduling. This process overcomes the technical deficiencies of existing scheduling methods.

  • The process involves an access point (AP) controller that communicates with multiple APs.
  • The AP controller obtains interference data from APs and/or stations (STAs), as well as traffic load data.
  • Based on this information, the AP controller divides a time period into one or more time slices.
  • Each AP is assigned to one or more time slices, and the STAs to be served by each AP are also assigned to the AP's time slice.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication networks that require efficient scheduling to reduce contentions and packet collisions.
  • Multipoint communication environments where multiple APs and STAs need to communicate without interference.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Contentions and packet collisions that can occur in multipoint communication environments.
  • Technical deficiencies of existing scheduling methods, such as CBAP and rasterized-based scheduling.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Reduced contentions and packet collisions, leading to improved communication efficiency.
  • Better utilization of available resources, resulting in increased network capacity.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of multipoint communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a process for reducing contentions and/or packet collisions during downlink and/or uplink communications in a multipoint environment that uses time slice scheduling to overcome the technical deficiencies of cbap and rasterized-based scheduling is described herein. for example, an access point (ap) controller configured to communicate with one or more aps may obtain interference data from one or more aps and/or stations (stas) and/or traffic load data, and can use this information to divide a time period into one or more time slices and to assign each ap to one or more of the time slices. the ap controller can use this information to determine a number of time slices in which to divide the time period and a length (e.g., in time) of each time slice. the ap controller can also use this information to assign one or more aps to each time slice and to assign the stas to be served by each ap in the ap's assigned time slice.
