WI-FI DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED TRANSMISSION CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049052 titled 'WI-FI DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED TRANSMISSION CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a Wi-Fi device and a transmission control method. The Wi-Fi device selectively transmits a portion of transmission data on a low-performance link based on various parameters. These parameters include the start time point of a backoff procedure of the low-performance link, duration information associated with another Wi-Fi device on a high-performance link, and predefined exception conditions. By overhearing the status of another Wi-Fi device on the high-performance link, the Wi-Fi device tries to obtain the duration information. If successful, it calculates a coherent remnant-duration accordingly. Then, the Wi-Fi device determines whether the transmission data should be immediately transmitted on the low-performance link, transmitted later on the high-performance link, or partially transmitted on the low-performance link.
- The Wi-Fi device selectively transmits data on a low-performance link based on specific parameters.
- Parameters include start time point of backoff procedure, duration information of another Wi-Fi device on a high-performance link, and predefined exception conditions.
- The Wi-Fi device attempts to acquire duration information by overhearing the status of another Wi-Fi device on the high-performance link.
- If duration information is obtained, the Wi-Fi device calculates a coherent remnant-duration.
- The Wi-Fi device then decides whether to transmit the data immediately on the low-performance link, transmit it later on the high-performance link, or partially transmit it on the low-performance link.
Potential Applications:
- Improving Wi-Fi performance in environments with both low-performance and high-performance links.
- Enhancing data transmission efficiency in mixed network environments.
Problems Solved:
- Optimizing data transmission based on network performance and conditions.
- Minimizing delays and improving overall Wi-Fi performance.
Benefits:
- Improved data transmission efficiency.
- Enhanced Wi-Fi performance in mixed network environments.
- Reduced delays and improved user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
a wi-fi (wi-fi) device and a transmission control method are provided. the wi-fi device selectively transmits at least a data division of a transmission data on a low performance link based on several parameters. the parameters include a start time point of a backoff procedure of the low performance link, a duration information associated with another wi-fi device on a high performance link, and some predefined exception conditions. by overhearing status of another wi-fi device on the high performance link, the wi-fi device attempts to acquire the duration information. if the duration information can be acquired, the wi-fi device calculates a coherent remnant-duration accordingly. then, the wi-fi device determines whether the transmission data should be transmitted immediately on the low performance link, transmitted later on the high performance link, or partially transmitted on the low performance link.
