QUALITY OF SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS FOR VIDEO AND EXTENDED REALITY APPLICATIONS OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380932 titled 'QUALITY OF SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS FOR VIDEO AND EXTENDED REALITY APPLICATIONS OVER WIRELESS NETWORKS
The patent application describes a system and method for efficiently routing high-priority frames through a wireless network based on markings of the frames by different layers in a protocol stack.
- Frames marked by the data link layer, network layer, or application layer are routed based on their priority.
- Real-time applications like video or gaming can benefit from the routing strategy determined by the access point.
- Strategies include discarding non-i frames during network congestion, replicating i-frames for reliable delivery, scheduling i-frames with preference, and moving i-frames ahead in a buffer.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in wireless networks to prioritize high-priority frames for real-time applications. - It can be used in video streaming services to ensure smooth and reliable delivery of video content. - Gaming networks can benefit from the efficient routing of high-priority frames to reduce latency and improve gameplay experience.
Problems Solved: - Efficient routing of high-priority frames in wireless networks. - Prioritizing real-time applications for reliable and timely delivery of data. - Managing network congestion and ensuring quality of service for critical applications.
Benefits: - Improved performance for real-time applications. - Reduced latency and network congestion. - Enhanced user experience for video streaming and gaming applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient High-Priority Frame Routing System for Wireless Networks" This technology can be commercialized by network equipment manufacturers, video streaming platforms, and gaming companies to enhance the quality of service for their users. It can also be integrated into networking solutions for industries requiring real-time data transmission.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine the priority of frames in the wireless network? 2. What are the key advantages of replicating i-frames for reliable delivery in real-time applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are a system and method for efficiently routing high-priority frames through a wireless network based on markings of the frames by a data link layer, a network layer, or an application layer in a five-layer protocol stack. when a real-time application, such as a video or gaming application, is to be sent to one or more stations in the wireless network, the access point determines the strategy for routing the high-priority frames based on the markings received from the data link, network, or application layer. strategies include discarding non-i frames when there is congestion in the wireless network, replicating i-frames to assure reliable delivery to the stations, scheduling i-frames with preference, and moving i-frames ahead in a buffer in the access point.
