CHANNEL ACCESS TECHNIQUES IN A MULTI-HOP FRAMEWORK FOR ULTRA-HIGH RELIABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340953 titled 'CHANNEL ACCESS TECHNIQUES IN A MULTI-HOP FRAMEWORK FOR ULTRA-HIGH RELIABILITY

The patent application discusses methods, components, devices, and systems for channel access techniques in a multi-hop framework for ultra-high reliability (UHR). Specifically, it focuses on a transmission opportunity (TXOP) sharing mechanism that allows wireless communication devices to relay data frames across multiple hops within the same TXOP. It also introduces a coordinated medium access scheme for relaying data frames between a root access point (AP) and a wireless station (STA) through multiple service periods. Various signaling mechanisms and frame formats are proposed for exchanging information related to the coordinated medium access scheme. Additionally, the coordinated medium access scheme is associated with multiple time epochs, each linked to a service period, enabling differentiated channel access to facilitate relay with or without TXOP sharing within the service periods.

Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for channel access techniques in a multi-hop framework for ultra-high reliability (uhr). some aspects more specifically relate to a transmission opportunity (txop) sharing mechanism according to which wireless communication devices can relay data frames along multiple hops within a same txop, a coordinated medium access scheme associated with relaying data frames between a root access point (ap) and a wireless station (sta) via multiple service periods, and various signaling mechanisms and frame formats according to which wireless communication devices can exchange or negotiate information associated with a coordinated medium access scheme. in some implementations, a coordinated medium access scheme may be associated with multiple time epochs (each associated with a service period) and differentiated channel access across the multiple time epochs may facilitate the relay with or without txop sharing within the associated service periods.
