Method, wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and base station for transferring small packets

摘要

A method, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a base station for transferring small packets are described. The WTRU generates a packet that has one or more of a medium access control (MAC) or a physical layer convergence protocol (PLCP) header, the one or more of the MAC or the PLCP header including a field. On a condition that the WTRU has data buffered for transmission, the WTRU includes in the field information that indicates a time or a transmission opportunity (TXOP) needed to transmit at least one packet of data that the WTRU has buffered for transmission. The WTRU transmits the packet to another WTRU in the wireless network. The WTRU receives another packet from the other WTRU with a granted TXO) based on the time needed to transmit the at least one packet of the data that the WTRU has buffered for transmission.

主权项

1. A method of transferring small packets in a wireless network, the method comprising:
generating, by a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a control frame for transmission to an Access Point (AP) in the wireless network; indicating in a field of the control frame, on a condition that the first WTRU has data buffered for transmission, information related to an estimated time required for transmission of the buffered data; transmitting the control frame via an uplink to the AP; and receiving a response from the AP, wherein the response includes a granted TXOP.
