QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) FOR UPLINK ACCESS IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18183787 Titled 'QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) FOR UPLINK ACCESS IN A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)'
Simplified Explanation
This disclosure presents a system for managing uplink access in a wireless local area network. It involves a station (STA) informing an access point (AP) about the quality of service (QoS) parameters for a traffic flow. The AP then controls the uplink resources to meet these QoS parameters. The AP can choose from different access modes, such as single user (SU) access mode, uplink multi-user (UL-MU) scheduled access mode, multi-user enhanced distributed controlled access (MU EDCA) access mode, or low latency (LL) access mode. If the UL-MU scheduled access mode and the MU EDCA access mode are not sufficient to meet the uplink QoS parameters, the AP can instruct the STA to use either the SU access mode or the LL access mode.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for managing uplink access in a wireless local area network. A station (STA) may inform an access point (AP) of uplink quality of service (QoS) parameters for a traffic flow from the STA. The AP may control uplink resources to satisfy the QoS parameters. For example, the AP may select from among different access modes (including a single user (SU) access mode, an uplink multi-user (UL-MU) scheduled access mode, a multi-user enhanced distributed controlled access (MU EDCA) access mode, or a low latency (LL) access mode). The AP may cause the STA to use a SU access mode or the LL access mode if the UL-MU scheduled access mode and the MU EDCA access mode are not sufficient to satisfy the uplink QoS parameters for the traffic flow.
