RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR LOW LATENCY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107368 titled 'RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR LOW LATENCY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The subject disclosure relates to systems and methods for improved medium access for wireless communication. A wireless access point can efficiently share channel resources with other access points and client devices using buffer status information.

  • Wireless access points contend for and gain medium access.
  • They share time and/or bandwidth channel resources.
  • Buffer status information is computed to efficiently share the channel.
  • Latency information for buffered data can be provided between devices.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Wireless networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart home systems

Problems Solved

This technology solves issues related to:

  • Efficient medium access in wireless communication
  • Channel resource sharing among multiple devices
  • Latency in data transmission

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved network efficiency
  • Reduced data transmission delays
  • Enhanced overall performance of wireless systems

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Telecommunications companies
  • Networking equipment manufacturers
  • IoT device manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in wireless networks to prioritize data traffic based on different parameters.

=== What are the specific buffer status information computed by the wireless access point and other devices? Buffer status information includes data about the amount of data waiting to be transmitted, the priority level of the data, and the estimated time it will take to transmit the data.

=== How does the latency information for buffered data improve the overall performance of the wireless communication system? Latency information helps in prioritizing data transmission based on the urgency of the data, reducing delays in critical data transmission, and optimizing the use of channel resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

the subject disclosure provides systems and methods for improved medium access for wireless communication. a wireless access point, on contending for and gaining medium access, may share a time and/or bandwidth channel resource with one or more other wireless access points and/or one or more client devices. the wireless access point can efficiently share the channel resource using buffer status information computed by the wireless access point and/or additional buffer status information computed by the one or more other wireless access points. in one or more implementations, latency information for buffered data can be provided from a client device to a wireless access point and/or from a satellite wireless access point to a control wireless access point.
