    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for ultra-low latency out-of-band radios are disclosed. Apparatuses of a station (STA) are disclosed, where the apparatuses comprise processing circuitry configured to associate with an access point (AP) on a first channel using a first transmit power, encode a physical (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU) for transmission on a second channel, and configure the STA to transmit the PPDU on the second channel with a second transmit power, wherein a bandwidth of the first channel is less than the bandwidth of the second channel and wherein the first transmit power is greater than the second transmit power. The second channel may be punctured based on overlapping basic service sets (BSS) (OBSSs) signal strengths. The use of the second channel is restricted for communications related to low-latency applications. The transmit power on the second channel is reduced to lower the interference with OBSSs.

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to communicating time-critical ultra-low latency (ULL) data using one or more dedicated resource units (RUs). A station (STA) decodes a trigger frame received from an access point station (AP) encoded to indicate resource units (RUs) of an UL PPDU for an uplink multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access (UL MU OFDMA) data transmission by a first and a second station STA. The trigger frame may also be encoded to indicate configuration information for a dedicated RU for time-critical ultra-low latency (ULL) UL data. The dedicated RU may be one RU of one or more RUs of the UL PPDU that are reserved for time-critical communications. The STA may encode time-critical ULL UL data for transmission to the AP on the dedicated RU during the uplink MU OFDMA data transmission by the first and second STAs. The time-critical ULL UL data may start at any time during transmission of the UL PPDU. Medium access control layer (MAC) padding may be included in a MAC payload until the time-critical ULL UL data is available at the MAC layer of the STA.

    摘要: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to latency reduction. The device may set up a plurality of links between an access point (AP) multi-link device (MLD) and a non-AP MLD. The device may encode a frame for transmission on a first link of the plurality of links between a first AP of the AP MLD and a first STA of the non-AP MLD. The device may identify an indication received at a second STA of the non-AP MLD using an interference mitigation signal. The device may cause to stop the transmission of the frame on the first link based on the indication. The device may identify a second frame on the first link received from the first AP. The device may cause to resume the transmission of the first frame on the first link.

    摘要: This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a MAC protocol that can coordinate the AP with a relay STA to improve both the uplink and downlink throughput of a CE STA by using underutilized secondary channels. The disclosed systems and methods can be used to improve the performance of cell-edge STAs without affecting the performance of non-cell-edge STAs. In various embodiments, RTS frames can be used to instruct relay STAs to transmit data to CE STAs over idle secondary channels while the AP transmits data to legacy (e.g. 20 or 40 MHz) STAs over primary channels.
