EXCESS SLOT-TIME RE-FARMING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059500 titled 'EXCESS SLOT-TIME RE-FARMING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for re-farming excess slot-time in a wireless network by reallocating it to another Access Point (AP) using wireless exchanges.

  • A first Access Point (AP) receives excess slot-time from another AP.
  • Excess time in the slot allocation is determined.
  • Wireless exchanges are used to allocate the excess time to a second AP.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Smart city infrastructure

Problems Solved

This technology addresses issues such as:

  • Efficient utilization of slot-time in wireless networks
  • Optimizing network performance by reallocating excess resources

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved network efficiency
  • Enhanced data transmission speeds
  • Better overall network performance

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially benefit:

  • Telecommunication companies
  • IoT device manufacturers
  • Network infrastructure providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic slot allocation techniques in wireless networks to optimize resource utilization.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network latency?

The article does not address the potential impact of this technology on network latency.

The article does not mention any security measures implemented to protect the reallocation process.


Original Abstract Submitted

Excess slot-time re-farming may be provided. A first Access Point (AP) may be received by a first Access Point (AP). Next, excess time in the slot allocation may be determined. Then wireless exchanges may be used to allocate the excess time in the slot allocation to a second AP.
