QoS SUPPORT FOR P2P COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18318634 titled 'QoS SUPPORT FOR P2P COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application is about methods and devices that support Quality of Service (QoS) for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication in wireless networks. The method described involves a non-access point (AP) device, which includes a first station (STA), performing the following steps:

  • Forming a link with a first AP: The non-AP device establishes a connection with an access point (AP) in the wireless network.
  • Forming a P2P link with a second non-AP STA: The non-AP device establishes a direct peer-to-peer connection with another non-AP device in the network.
  • Transmitting a request associated with a transmit opportunity (TXOP) to the AP: The non-AP device sends a request to the AP, indicating its desire to transmit data during a specific time period known as the transmit opportunity (TXOP).
  • Receiving information associated with the TXOP from the AP: The non-AP device receives information from the AP regarding the TXOP, which includes details about the available time and resources for data transmission.
  • Determining the usability of the received TXOP information: The non-AP device evaluates whether the received TXOP information can be used for both uplink communication (transmitting data to the AP) and P2P communication (transmitting data directly to another non-AP device), or if it can only be used for uplink communication.

Overall, this patent application describes a method and apparatus that enables non-AP devices to establish P2P communication while also ensuring QoS support by efficiently utilizing the available transmit opportunities in a wireless network.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for supporting QoS support for P2P communication. A method for wireless communication performed by a non-access point (AP) device that includes a first station (STA) comprises: forming a link with a first AP; forming a first peer-to-peer (P2P) link with a second non-AP STA; transmitting a request associated with a transmit opportunity (TXOP) to the AP; receiving information associated with the TXOP from the AP; and determining whether the received information associated with the TXOP can be used only for uplink communication or for both uplink communication and P2P communication.
