Transmission Methods for Low Latency IEEE 802.11bx Communications - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240107504 titled 'Transmission Methods for Low Latency IEEE 802.11bx Communications

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for enabling multiuser multi-traffic identifier transmission in a resource unit, specifically for transmitting urgent payloads in a timely manner.

  • The urgent payload is injected into the ongoing multiuser physical protocol data unit (MU PPDU) to ensure quick transmission.
  • The wireless station is informed of the location of the overloaded resource unit where it can expect to receive the urgent payload.
  • An extra user field in the preamble of the MU PPDU is used to indicate the station ID and the location of the overloaded resource unit.
  • A receiver operating on an A-MPDU can select the resource unit it receives and identify incorrect transmissions based on the transmitter address.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems where urgent payloads need to be transmitted quickly and efficiently.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently transmitting urgent payloads in multiuser multi-traffic identifier transmission scenarios.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved latency-sensitive communication, better resource allocation, and enhanced overall system efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

The abstract does not provide specific details on the overall impact of this technology on network performance metrics.

Are there any limitations or constraints to implementing this technology in real-world systems?

The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or constraints that may arise when implementing this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

multiuser (mu) multi-tid (multi-traffic-identifier) transmission may be enabled in a resource unit (ru). to transmit an urgent payload as soon as possible, the urgent payload may be injected/included into the ongoing mu physical protocol data unit (mu ppdu), if possible. this may be accomplished by indicating to the latency-sensitive wireless station (sta) the id of a companion (or buddy) station that has an assigned resource unit (ru) on which the sta may expect to receive the urgent payload, also referred to as the “overloaded ru.” alternatively, an extra user field in the preamble of the mu ppdu may be used to indicate to the sta its station id as well as the location of the overloaded ru. a receiver operating on an a-mpdu may select the ru it receives, and may identify (or determine) a wrong transmission based on the transmitter address.
