WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) LINK ADAPTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380518 titled 'WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) LINK ADAPTATION
Some aspects of this disclosure involve an apparatus, method, and computer program product for wireless local area network (WLAN) link adaptation. The disclosure includes fast feedback (FB) contents to enhance WLAN link adaptation, particularly for ultra-high reliability (UHR) wireless communications. Fast FB contents consist of a feedback sequence number (FBSN) that identifies a reference packet and FB data related to the receipt of the reference packet by the receiving device. The FB data contains link adaptation parameters specific to the receiving device, which the transmitting device can utilize to adjust subsequent transmissions to the same receiving device. Additionally, there is an indicator that informs a receiving device whether to provide a negative acknowledgement (NACK) frame with FB contents or not.

Original Abstract Submitted
some aspects of this disclosure include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for wireless local area network (wlan) link adaptation. some aspects of this disclosure include fast feedback (fb) contents to improve wlan link adaptation that can address the challenges of ultra-high reliability (uhr) wireless communications. fast fb contents can include a feedback sequence number (fbsn) that identifies a reference packet and fb data corresponding to the receipt of the reference packet by the receiving device. the fb data can include link adaptation parameters corresponding to the receiving device that the transmitting device can use to adjust (e.g., adapt) subsequent transmissions to the same receiving device. some aspects include an indicator that informs a receiving device whether to provide a negative acknowledgement (nack) frame (e.g., control packets) with fb contents or not.
