Embodiment Construction

[0006] In the detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, however, that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures and techniques have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the foregoing embodiments.

[0007] Some portions of the detailed description that follows are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits or binary digital signals within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations may be the techniques used by those skilled in the data processing arts to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.

[0008] An algorithm is here, and generally, considered to be a self-consistent sequence of acts or operations leading to a desired result. These inclu...

Abstract

Various embodiments are disclosed for techniques to perform channel access decisions and to select a transmit queue. These decisions may be performed, for example, based upon the age and number of packets in a queue. These techniques may allow a node to improve the length of data bursts transmitted by the node, although the invention is not limited thereto.

Description

BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0001] Network devices may perform a variety of tasks. For example, a device may determine when to access a channel, when to transmit packets over the channel, and how to prioritize the transmission of packets. Some of the current approaches are inadequate, and a need may exist for improved such techniques.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0002]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communication system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. [0003]FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating transmit queues and timers for a node according to an example embodiment. [0004]FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating operation of a node to determine when to initiate a channel access according to an example embodiment. [0005]FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating operation of a node to select a transmit queue for data transmission from among eligible transmit queues according to an example embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0006] In the detailed desc...
