SIGNALING OF PARAMETERS FOR A COMMUNICATION SCHEDULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17922949 titled 'SIGNALING OF PARAMETERS FOR A COMMUNICATION SCHEDULE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is about signaling parameters for a communication schedule called a target wake time (TWT) schedule. - A first wireless communication device, such as an access point or a peer station, can determine and transmit the parameters for at least one TWT schedule. - The parameters are included in a broadcast management frame, like a beacon, which is transmitted to other wireless communication devices. - A second wireless communication device, like a station, can receive the broadcast management frame and decide whether to transmit during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) based on the received parameters. - The TXOP is defined to not cross a boundary of a specific period of time indicated by the parameters. - The innovation allows for efficient communication scheduling by allowing devices to coordinate their transmission times based on the received parameters.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects relate to signaling the parameters to be used for a communication schedule such as a target wake time (TWT) schedule. For example, a first wireless communication device (e.g., an access point or a peer station) may determine (e.g., specify or negotiate) the parameters for at least one TWT schedule and transmit a broadcast management frame (e.g., a beacon) that includes these parameters. A second wireless communication device (e.g., station) that receives the broadcast management frame may, based on the received parameters for one TWT schedule or the received parameters for multiple TWT schedules, elect to transmit during a transmission opportunity (TXOP) that is defined to not cross at least one boundary of a period of time indicated by the parameters.
