LATENCY REDUCTION USING PREEMPTION WITHIN A PPDU - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314621 titled 'LATENCY REDUCTION USING PREEMPTION WITHIN A PPDU
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and apparatus for reducing latency using preemption in a physical layer protocol data unit.
- Encodes a multi-user protocol data unit for transmission, containing aggregated media access control PDUs addressed to different stations.
- Transmits a preemption-indicator signal to a low-latency station and non-low-latency stations when low-latency data is available for transmission.
- Replaces non-low-latency PDUs with low-latency PDUs in the transmission to prioritize low-latency data.
- Transmits the updated protocol data unit over the designated resource unit.
Key Features and Innovation
- Implementation of preemption in a physical layer protocol data unit for latency reduction.

Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed herein are apparatuses and a method for implementing latency reduction using preemption within a physical layer (phy) protocol data unit (pdu) (ppdu). an embodiment operates by encoding a multi-user ppdu (mu-ppdu) for transmission, where, the mu-ppdu comprises a plurality of aggregated media access control (mac) pdus (a-mpdus) addressed to respective non-low-latency stations (non-ll-stas). based on a determination that low-latency data addressed to a low-latency station (ll-sta) is available for transmission at a mac layer of the ap, the embodiment then transmits a preemption-indicator signal to the ll-sta and at least one non-ll-sta. further, the embodiment identifies an a-mpdu of the plurality of a-mpdus that is scheduled for transmission over a resource unit (ru) designated for transmitting low-latency data. the embodiment then replaces at least one non-low-latency mpdus (non-ll-mpdus) associated with the a-mpdu with at least one low-latency mpdus (ll-mpdus) addressed to the ll-sta to generate an updated a-mpdu., where a first ll-mpdu of the plurality of ll-mpdus is a multi-user block acknowledgment request (mu-bar) frame associated with the ll-mpdus. finally, the embodiment transmits the updated a-mpdu consisting the at least one ll-mpdus over the ru.
