Abstract: To easy the triggering by an AP MLD of uplink communications of low latency streams from non-AP MLD, the invention proposes that a local traffic stream be identified using a Stream Classification Service, SCS. The local SCS traffic stream is mapped onto a target TID which was previously mapped with an impacted UP. The local SCS stream is preferably assigned to an alternate queue of an AC. Said impacted UP is also mapped onto a fallback TID, corresponding to the primary queue of the same AC. The SCS stream is advertised to the AP using a SCS Request frame. Conventional fields can be used. A trigger frame from an affiliated AP of the AP MLD may then provide resource units to an affiliated non-AP station dedicated to the target TID, hence specific to the low latency SCS stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for simultaneous transmission of data from two or more wireless communication device during a transmission opportunity otherwise reserved for a single communication device. The invention proposes collaboration among the group of communication devices to reserve a transmission opportunity on a composite channel comprising of a plurality of sub-channels for the entire group and to efficiently manage allocation of the sub-channels for simultaneous data transmission from two or more devices. In the main aspect of the invention, the collaboration takes the form of grouping the sub-channels in the reserved composite channel so as to allow two or more stations to transmit data simultaneously over a contiguous frequency band. The collaboration among the group of communication devices may be in a managed or an ad hoc mode. The invention is particularly relevant to the IEEE 802.11 ac communication standard.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communication device and a method of sending data over a communication network. The communication device includes a controller for accessing the network using contention type access mechanism based on computation of back-off values, and includes a plurality of traffic queues for serving data traffic at different priorities. The controller includes a plurality of back-off engines, each associated with one traffic queue and configured to compute a back-off value in accordance with the priority of the associated traffic queue. One or more back-off engine may be adjusted to prevent the back-off value of such back-off engine to reach zero. When an access to the network is obtained for the device. a traffic queue may be selected based on its associated back-off value, and data may be transmitted from the selected traffic queue.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communication networks and more specifically to methods and devices for data communication over a communication network. A method according to the invention comprises, at a transmitting node: obtaining a plurality of frames including first-type frames associated with an acknowledgment policy requiring acknowledgment and second-type frames associated with an acknowledgment policy requiring no acknowledgment; aggregating the frames of the obtained plurality of frames into an aggregated frame including at least one leading frame of second type and frames subsequent thereto, in an order depending on their associated acknowledgment policies; sending the aggregated frame to a receiving node; and sending an acknowledgment request frame to the receiving node to request it to acknowledge receipt of only subsequent frames of the aggregated frame. Such data communication scheme is liable to reduce bandwidth waste and head-of-line blocking and thus latency, compared to known scheme.
