Prioritized Data Discard for Wireless XR Communication

The patent applies local quality by differentiating data packets into multiple priority levels (e.g., high priority, medium priority, low priority) and applying different discard policies to each level. Instead of uniform discard, the system discards lower priority packets first during congestion, preserving critical data transmission and maintaining acceptable quality of service while still reducing overall power consumption.

The system dynamically changes the discard parameter based on congestion conditions and packet priority levels. During normal conditions, minimal or no discard occurs. During congestion, the discard rate and priority thresholds are adjusted dynamically, changing the parameter from 0% discard to selective discard based on real-time network status and packet importance.

The patent differentiates data packets into multiple priority levels and applies selective discard based on priority. High priority packets (critical for low latency) are preserved while lower priority packets are discarded during congestion. This local differentiation ensures that latency-sensitive data maintains its quality of service while still conserving bandwidth by discarding less critical data.

The system performs preliminary classification and tagging of data packets with priority levels before transmission. This preliminary action allows the network to pre-identify which packets should be discarded first during congestion events, ensuring that critical low-latency data is protected and can be transmitted promptly when conditions improve.

The patent implements local quality by assigning different discard rates and policies to different priority levels of data packets. High priority packets have lower discard rates (better recovery potential) while low priority packets have higher discard rates. This differentiated approach increases data recovery effectiveness by preserving packets that are more likely to be needed, while the complexity is managed through standardized priority classification frameworks.

The system implements a targeted discard strategy where not all discarded packets are permanently lost. The patent incorporates mechanisms where discarded lower-priority packets can be recovered through retransmission or interpolation, especially when they are discarded due to temporary congestion rather than permanent loss. This selective recoverability improves overall data recovery effectiveness compared to uniform discard.
