LOW LATENCY SCHEMES FOR PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137978 titled 'LOW LATENCY SCHEMES FOR PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods (SPs) in a wireless network. The system involves an access point (AP) receiving a request frame from a wireless station (STA) indicating the intention to exchange peer-to-peer (P2P) communications with a client device during a scheduled SP. The AP then obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the SP and transmits a trigger frame to allocate a portion of the TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device.
- Access point (AP) receives a request frame from a wireless station (STA) for P2P communications during a scheduled SP.
- AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP) on the wireless medium during the SP.
- AP transmits a trigger frame to allocate a portion of the TXOP for P2P communications between the STA and the client device.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient management of data traffic during restricted time periods is required, such as in IoT networks, smart home devices, and industrial automation systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient management of data traffic during restricted target wake time (TWT) service periods. 2. Facilitating peer-to-peer (P2P) communications between wireless stations and client devices in a scheduled manner.
Benefits
1. Improved network efficiency and resource allocation. 2. Enhanced communication reliability and performance during scheduled service periods. 3. Optimal utilization of transmission opportunities for P2P communications.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing data traffic management in IoT networks Enhancing communication reliability in smart home devices Improving network efficiency in industrial automation systems
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of TWT mechanisms in wireless networks to schedule wake times for devices, but the specific implementation of allocating transmission opportunities for P2P communications during these scheduled periods may be novel in this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle potential conflicts or collisions between multiple requests for P2P communications during the same scheduled service period?
The patent application does not provide details on how the system resolves conflicts or collisions between multiple requests for P2P communications during the same scheduled service period.
What impact does this system have on overall network latency and throughput?
The patent application does not address the potential impact of this system on overall network latency and throughput, especially when allocating transmission opportunities for P2P communications during scheduled service periods.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for managing data traffic in restricted target wake time (twt) service periods (sps). in some aspects, an access point (ap) receives a request frame from a wireless station (sta) associated with a client device via a peer-to-peer (p2p) link, the request frame indicating the sta intends to exchange p2p communications with the client device during a r-twt sp scheduled on a wireless medium. the ap obtains a transmission opportunity (txop) on the wireless medium during the r-twt sp, the request frame identifying the client device. the ap transmits a trigger frame on the wireless medium responsive to obtaining the txop, the trigger frame allocating a portion of the obtained txop for p2p communications between the sta and the client device, wherein at least one of the response frame or the trigger frame indicates a network allocation vector (nav) exception for the client device.
