摘要:
The exemplary embodiments provide at least a method of receiving, by a node of a wireless communication network, more than one indication of data required to be sent from devices in the network, determining that provisioning resources to send the data in response to each of the more than one indication exceeds at least one threshold, and based on the determining, sending a probe message including a priority constraint to the devices. Further, receiving, at a device of a wireless communication network, a probe message from a network node of the network, the probe message identifying a priority constraint, sending, by the device, an acknowledgement to the probe message, the acknowledgment indicating that the device has data to send which meets or exceeds the priority constraint identified in the probe message, and in response to the acknowledgment, receiving from the network node a resource allocation to send the data.

The exemplary embodiments enable setting one or more devices of a wireless communication network to be associated with a one or more groups of a plurality of groups based on at least a device type of the one or more devices, receiving at least one indication that one or more devices have data to send, and allocating, one group at a time, resources to the groups associated with the devices with data to send. Further, receiving a probe message from a network node, the probe message identifying one or more groups set to the device based at least on a device type, sending, information to the node, the information providing an indication that data is required to be sent, and in response to the sending, receiving a resource allocation from the node to send the data, wherein the resource allocation is arranged based on the groups set to the device.
摘要:
A first access node of a first network utilizes code sequences, assigned to different user devices, to distinguish at least acknowledgements received in parallel or sequentially from those user devices. The first access node determines from received signaling that a root sequence of the code sequences is in use by a second access node of a second network, then changes that root sequence of the code sequences assigned to the different user devices. In certain examples the access nodes are WLAN access points APs and the acknowledgements are received in response to a group probe/poll. In various embodiments the first AP monitors its neighbors' group probes/polls to learn the root sequences/basic service sets in use in those neighbor networks, or the AP's own stations monitor and send the information in neighbor reports. This latter option can be initiated by the stations themselves, or by the AP.

A method includes receiving, by an apparatus, a signaling element containing an indication whether there are buffered individually addressed frames for at least one device within a group of devices; determining, by the apparatus, whether the apparatus belongs to a group for which there are no buffered individually addressed frames, based on the indication; and if the apparatus belongs to a group for which there are no buffered individually addressed frames, entering a lower power state without waiting to receive a next signaling element.
摘要:
In the detailed examples an access point AP assigns each of a plurality of stations to a group, in which at least one group has multiple stations assigned. For each group the AP sets a group-specific medium access interval during which stations who are members of the group are allowed to compete for medium access, and sends a message indicating the group-specific medium access intervals for the respective groups. A station receiving the message determines the group to which it belongs and determines that it is allowed to compete for medium access at least during the medium access interval. Various examples provide options for how the grouping might be made and how the intervals might be dynamically adjusted.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments enable power saving in network environments. An example embodiment comprises: transmitting by a first wireless device to a second wireless device, a first message indicating an awake state with availability to receive wireless messages from the second wireless device, the first message including a threshold value for acceptance by the first device of buffered data in the second device; and receiving by the first wireless device, an immediate acknowledgement message from the second wireless device, if the buffered data in the second device satisfies the threshold value or receiving by the first wireless device, a delayed acknowledgement message from the second wireless device, if the buffered data in the second device does not satisfy the threshold value.

According to an example embodiment, a method may include sending, by an apparatus, a probe requesting for nodes with queued data to acknowledge the probe, receiving, by the apparatus, multiple acknowledgments from the nodes, the multiple acknowledgments overlapping at least partially in time and frequency, determining, by the apparatus, which nodes acknowledged the probe by decoding the multiple acknowledgments according to a code division multiple access scheme, sending, by the apparatus, an allocation to the nodes that acknowledged the probe, the allocation allocating spectral resources for the nodes to send the queued data, and receiving, by the apparatus, the queued data from the nodes that acknowledged the probe.
