SELECTIVE ADJUSTMENT OF PACKET DURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18382639 titled 'SELECTIVE ADJUSTMENT OF PACKET DURATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discusses a system for adjusting packet duration for triggered uplink transmissions to an access point from one or more stations based on the estimated amount of data queued for transmission.
- The access point estimates the amount of data queued for uplink transmission by a station.
- The access point selects the packet duration based on the estimated amount of queued uplink data.
- The access point transmits a trigger frame to solicit uplink data from the station and indicates the selected packet duration.
- The access point receives an uplink packet from the station and determines the amount of uplink data queued in the station.
- The access point selectively adjusts the packet duration for uplink transmissions based on the received uplink packet and the determined amount of queued uplink data.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication systems
- Network optimization technologies
Problems Solved
- Efficient utilization of network resources
- Improved uplink transmission performance
Benefits
- Enhanced network performance
- Reduced latency in uplink transmissions
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Uplink Transmission in Wireless Networks
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to adjusting packet duration for uplink transmissions in wireless networks, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle varying network conditions that may impact the estimated amount of queued uplink data?
The patent application does not elaborate on how the system adapts to changing network conditions that could affect the accuracy of the estimated queued uplink data.
What security measures are in place to protect the transmission of uplink data between the station and the access point?
The patent application does not address the security aspects of transmitting uplink data, leaving questions about potential vulnerabilities unanswered.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting a packet duration for triggered uplink (UL) transmissions to an access point (AP) from one or more stations (STAs). In one aspect, the AP may estimate an amount of data that a STA has queued for UL transmission and select the packet duration based on the estimated amount of queued UL data. The AP may transmit a trigger frame that solicits UL data from the STA and indicates the selected packet duration. In response, the AP may receive an UL packet from the STA and determine an amount of UL data queued in the STA based on the UL packet. In some implementations, the AP may selectively adjust the packet duration for UL transmissions based on the UL packet, the determined amount of UL data queued in the STA, or both.
