2 results about "Point coordination function" patented technology

Point coordination function (PCF) is a media access control (MAC) technique used in IEEE 802.11 based WLANs, including Wi-Fi. It resides in a point coordinator also known as access point (AP), to coordinate the communication within the network. The AP waits for PIFS duration rather than DIFS duration to grasp the channel. PIFS is less than DIFS duration and hence the point coordinator always has the priority to access the channel.

Fifth generation (5G) and Wi-Fi multi-access point coordination function

A Fifth Generation (5G) and Wi-Fi Multi-Access Point Coordination (MAPc) function may be provided. A MAPc processor may determine a first traffic flow and a second traffic flow for a User Equipment (UE) and a property of the first traffic flow and of the second traffic flow. The MAPc processor may schedule restricted Target Wake Time (rTWT) service intervals on a Wi-Fi AP for the first traffic flow, and the MAPc processor may schedule rTWT service intervals on a 5G AP for the second traffic flow. The rTWT service intervals on the Wi-Fi AP may be at different times than the rTWT service intervals on the 5G AP.
